Run a Google Ads audit from your export
A Google Ads audit starts with the data you already have. Export the reports from your account, give the Google Ads AI agent the context it cannot see, and review a prioritised list of fixes before you change anything. New accounts get 100 credits a month for these steps.
- 01
Export the reports
From Google Ads, download the search terms, keywords and campaigns reports for the period you want to review, as CSV or spreadsheet files.
- 02
Add the context
Tell the agent your goal, your target cost per conversion and anything the data cannot show, such as which campaigns are tests or which products matter most.
- 03
Review the fixes, then act in Google Ads
You get fixes ranked by spend, search terms and structure, each tied to rows in your export. Decide which to apply and make the changes yourself in Google Ads.
Which route reads your account, and which can change it?
There are a few ways to put a Google Ads AI agent to work. They differ in what they read, whether they can change your account and what they cost. The table uses each source's own description; where a figure comes from a third party, we say so.
| Route | What it reads | Can it change your account? | Price | Works inside Claude Code or Cursor |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Google Ask Advisor | Your own Google Ads account | No; Google's FAQ says it cannot execute account changes on your behalf | Included in Google Ads | No, it runs inside Google Ads |
| Claude with Google's Ads MCP server | Your account data through the Google Ads API | No; its three tools only read (per ppc.io) | Your Claude plan | Yes |
| Paid PPC tools (e.g. Opteo) | Your connected accounts | Suggestions you apply in the tool | Opteo from $129/mo (per ppc.io) | Not stated |
| SpringBrand | Your exported reports, public Google ad data and keyword data | No; it reads, analyses and drafts | 100 credits a month; then per request | Yes, over MCP |
Checked 2026-11-13. Third-party figures from ppc.io (prices checked 2026-09-30), not re-verified with the vendors. Written by SpringBrand, one of the routes listed.

What do people ask before using AI in Google Ads?
Can AI run my Google Ads?
AI is good at the research half: reading reports, finding wasted spend, checking competitors and keyword data. Bids, budgets, targeting and launches still need someone who knows the business, and agents cannot fix a broken campaign structure or conversion tracking on their own. SpringBrand's Google Ads AI agent handles the research and leaves account changes to you. SpringBrand's agent works from your exported reports and public Google ad data, in SpringBrand or inside Claude Code and Cursor, and leaves every account change to you.
What is the best AI agent for Google Ads?
It depends on whether you want something inside your account or something that reads data for you. Google's Ask Advisor works inside your account; paid PPC tools connect to it and suggest changes; SpringBrand reads your exports and public ad data from SpringBrand or your AI assistant, per request. The comparison table above sets them side by side.
Does Google have its own AI agent for Google Ads?
Yes. Ask Advisor is Google's AI assistant inside Google Ads. Google's own FAQ says "It cannot execute account changes on your behalf, access restricted private info or other customer accounts, or violate strict safety guardrails."
Can I connect Claude to Google Ads?
Google offers an Ads MCP server that third-party reviewers describe as read-only. SpringBrand also runs over MCP in Claude Code and Cursor, where you can look up competitors' Google ads and keyword data and audit the reports you export.
Is there a low-cost Google Ads audit tool?
New SpringBrand accounts get 100 credits a month with no card. Export your search terms, keywords and campaigns reports, ask the Google Ads AI agent for an audit, and you get a prioritised list of fixes to review.
How do I see my competitors' Google ads?
Google's Ads Transparency Center lists the ads an advertiser runs. SpringBrand can search it by advertiser name or domain and return each ad's format, first and last shown dates and link, for one competitor or several in one request.
