This agent runs a full audit of your Google Ads account. It surfaces wasted spend, structural issues, and bid strategy mismatches — then ranks fixes by estimated revenue impact.

You get a Critical / High / Medium priority list with exact actions. No spreadsheets. No manual report pulling.

This assumes Clawdbot is already running locally. Set it up first if you haven't.

What It Does

The agent works through a structured checklist covering campaigns, keywords, match types, Quality Scores, search terms, negative keywords, device bids, and ad scheduling. Everything that typically takes a paid media manager half a day to audit.

Keywords with >$50 spend and 0 conversions
Search terms report — irrelevant queries eating budget
Quality Scores < 5 on high-spend keywords
Ad schedule — are you paying for off-hours?

Once it finds issues, it ranks them by impact — so you fix what's actually bleeding budget first, not what's easiest to spot.
