What are Claude skills for Google Ads?
Claude skills for Google Ads are prompt templates that turn Claude AI into a specialized PPC analyst. Each skill is a structured instruction set that tells Claude exactly how to perform a specific Google Ads task — from diagnosing why your CPA spiked 40% last Tuesday to building a budget reallocation model across 12 campaigns. Unlike generic ChatGPT prompts, these skills include role context, expected inputs, and structured output formats.
This guide covers 15 skills organized into three categories: Diagnostics (5 skills that identify problems), Optimization (5 skills that fix them), and Reporting (5 skills that communicate results). Each skill includes the actual prompt you can copy-paste, what it does, and a practical tip. For the complete overview of all 30 Claude marketing skills across Google Ads and Meta Ads, see the Claude Marketing Skills Complete Guide.
You can use these skills two ways: upload them to Claude Projects with exported CSV data (no API needed), or connect Claude to your Google Ads account via MCP for real-time data. Both methods work with all 15 prompts. If you want a broader walkthrough of using Claude for Google Ads management beyond just skills, see How to Use Claude for Google Ads.

Diagnostic skills: find what’s broken
Diagnostic skills answer one question: what is going wrong in my account? Run these first. They analyze your campaign data and surface specific problems with severity ratings, affected spend, and root causes. The average Google Ads account has 3–5 diagnosable issues at any given time — most go unnoticed for weeks.
Skill 01
Wasted Spend Audit
Scans your search terms report and flags every term that spent money without converting. Google’s own data shows 28% of search ad clicks come from irrelevant queries. This skill finds them in under 2 minutes and outputs a prioritized negative keyword list with estimated monthly savings.
Tip: Export your search terms report for the last 30 days with all columns. The more data you give Claude, the more accurate the waste identification.
Skill 02
CPA Spike Diagnosis
Identifies the root cause when your cost per acquisition suddenly jumps. CPA spikes have 6 common causes: audience saturation, bid strategy changes, competitor entry, landing page issues, seasonal shifts, and Quality Score drops. This skill checks all six systematically.
Tip: Include both the spike period and a baseline period (the previous 30 days of normal performance) so Claude can compare.
Skill 03
Quality Score Analysis
Breaks down Quality Score components (expected CTR, ad relevance, landing page experience) across all keywords and identifies which ones are dragging down your account. A 1-point QS improvement reduces CPC by 13% on average. This skill finds the highest-impact keywords to fix first.
Tip: Export keywords with the Quality Score columns (overall QS, expected CTR, ad relevance, landing page experience) from the Google Ads interface.
Skill 04
Search Term Leakage Scan
Goes deeper than the Wasted Spend Audit by identifying patterns of search term leakage — systematic gaps in your negative keyword lists that let irrelevant traffic through repeatedly. Accounts with over 50 keywords typically have 15–25 negative keyword gaps that bleed $200–$2,000/month each.
Tip: Export both your search terms report AND your existing negative keyword lists. Claude can find gaps only if it knows what you already block.
Skill 05
Impression Share Gap Finder
Identifies exactly where you’re losing impression share — and whether the cause is budget, rank, or both. Most advertisers leave 30–50% of available impressions on the table. This skill calculates the revenue opportunity of closing each gap and prioritizes which campaigns to fund first.
Tip: Include impression share columns (search IS, IS lost to budget, IS lost to rank) when exporting campaign data. These metrics are hidden by default in Google Ads.
Tools like Ryze AI automate this process — adjusting bids, reallocating budget, and flagging underperformers 24/7 without manual intervention. Ryze AI clients see an average 3.8x ROAS within 6 weeks of onboarding.
Optimization skills: fix what’s broken
Once you’ve diagnosed the problems, optimization skills tell you exactly what to change — and how. Each skill outputs actionable recommendations with expected impact estimates so you can prioritize by ROI. These 5 skills cover the optimizations that drive 80% of Google Ads improvement: negative keywords, bids, budgets, ad copy, and landing page alignment.
Skill 06
Negative Keyword Mining
Generates a comprehensive negative keyword list from your search terms data, industry knowledge, and semantic analysis. Goes beyond simple waste identification — it proactively suggests negatives you haven’t triggered yet based on your keyword themes. Well-maintained negative keyword lists reduce wasted spend by 15–30%.
Tip: Describe your business in detail. The more Claude knows about what you sell, the better it can identify irrelevant terms proactively.
Skill 07
Bid Strategy Selector
Evaluates your current bid strategy against alternatives and recommends the optimal approach based on your conversion volume, budget, and goals. Google offers 7 automated bid strategies — choosing the wrong one costs 15–40% in performance. This skill matches strategy to account maturity.
Tip: Include at least 90 days of campaign data. Bid strategy recommendations need historical conversion volume and variance data to be accurate.
Skill 08
Budget Reallocation Model
Analyzes performance across all campaigns and builds a reallocation plan that shifts spend from low-performers to high-performers. Most accounts have 20–40% of budget trapped in underperforming campaigns. This skill models the impact of reallocation before you make changes — showing projected conversions and ROAS at different budget splits. For a deeper look at budget optimization approaches, see 30 Claude Skills for Google & Meta Ads.
Tip: Include impression share data. Campaigns with IS lost to budget are the best candidates for additional spend — they already convert well but are starved for volume.
Skill 09
Ad Copy A/B Generator
Generates responsive search ad variations optimized for your keywords, audience, and competitive landscape. Google requires 15 headlines and 4 descriptions per RSA — most advertisers reuse the same messaging. This skill creates differentiated variations using proven copywriting frameworks (PAS, AIDA, social proof) and pins them strategically.
Tip: Paste your competitors’ ads (search for your keywords and screenshot the results). Claude writes better copy when it knows what the market is already saying.
Skill 10
Landing Page Match Scorer
Evaluates how well your landing pages align with the keywords and ads driving traffic to them. Keyword-to-landing-page mismatch is the #1 cause of low Quality Scores and high bounce rates. This skill scores each landing page on relevance, intent match, and conversion optimization — then tells you what to change.
Tip: If using MCP, Claude can fetch your landing page directly. Otherwise, paste the full page text — headers, body copy, CTA text, and form fields.

Reporting skills: communicate results clearly
Reporting skills turn raw Google Ads data into narratives your team, clients, or C-suite can act on. The average PPC manager spends 5–8 hours per week on reporting. These 5 skills reduce that to under 30 minutes — and produce more actionable reports than most humans write.
Skill 11
Weekly Performance Digest
Generates a structured weekly report with trend analysis, anomaly flags, and next-week action items. Includes week-over-week and month-over-month comparisons. Designed to be sent directly to stakeholders without editing — uses plain language, not jargon.
Tip: Export this week and last week as separate CSVs with identical column structure. Include a note about any known changes (new campaigns launched, paused ads, budget shifts).
Skill 12
Anomaly Detection Alert
Scans your account for statistical anomalies — metrics that deviate from their historical baseline by more than 2 standard deviations. Catches problems that daily monitoring misses: gradual CPC creep, slow conversion rate decay, impression share erosion. Most anomalies are invisible until they’ve been bleeding budget for 7–14 days.
Tip: Daily-level data for 60 days gives Claude enough history to calculate meaningful baselines. Weekly data is too coarse for anomaly detection.
Skill 13
Executive Summary Generator
Creates a one-page executive summary from your Google Ads data — written for CMOs and VPs who have 2 minutes and need the “so what.” Translates PPC jargon into business impact: not “CPA dropped 12%” but “we’re acquiring customers for $8 less each, saving $4,200/month at current volume.”
Tip: Tell Claude who will read this summary. “Write for a CEO who cares about revenue” produces different output than “write for a CMO who cares about brand awareness.”
Skill 14
Competitor Benchmark Report
Analyzes your auction insights data alongside industry benchmarks to show how you stack up against competitors. Answers the questions advertisers ask most: “Are we paying too much?” “Are our competitors outspending us?” “Where are we winning and losing?” The average Google Ads industry CPC varies from $1.16 (ecommerce) to $6.75 (legal) — context matters.
Tip: Export the Auction Insights report at the campaign level. Include both search and shopping auction insights if you run both campaign types.
Skill 15
ROAS Forecasting Model
Projects your ROAS for the next 30, 60, and 90 days based on historical trends, seasonality, and planned changes. Helps answer the budget question every advertiser faces: “If I increase spend by 25%, will ROAS hold or decline?” The model accounts for diminishing marginal returns — the curve that makes doubling budget rarely double results.
Tip: 90 days of daily data is ideal for seasonality detection. If you have year-over-year data, include it — Claude can identify annual patterns like Q4 spikes or summer dips.
How do you connect Claude to Google Ads for live data?
All 15 skills above work with exported CSV data — no API connection needed. But if you want Claude to pull live campaign metrics, query search terms in real time, and check impression share without manual exports, you need MCP (Model Context Protocol).
MCP is a universal adapter that lets Claude call Google Ads API tools directly inside the conversation. Instead of downloading and uploading CSVs, you ask Claude “pull my campaign performance for the last 7 days” and it returns live data. Setup takes 2 minutes with the Ryze AI managed MCP connector, or 30 minutes if you self-host an open-source server.
With MCP connected, the diagnostic skills become especially powerful. The CPA Spike Diagnosis skill can pull data from the last 48 hours and compare it to the prior 30-day baseline — all in one conversation, no exports needed. The Anomaly Detection Alert skill can check every campaign daily and flag statistical outliers before they become expensive problems. For a step-by-step MCP setup tutorial, see the OpenClaw Google Ads Setup Guide.
- CSV exports — Best for weekly audits and one-off analysis. No setup required. Upload any Google Ads report as CSV.
- MCP connector — Best for daily monitoring, real-time diagnostics, and teams managing $50K+/month. 2-minute setup via Ryze AI.
- Ryze AI autonomous — Best for teams that want 24/7 optimization without any prompts. Ryze AI runs diagnostics, makes bid changes, and reallocates budgets automatically. Average 3.8x ROAS within 6 weeks.
