Quick start

The first commands to try once you're connected — all in plain language.

Start with reporting

Optimize

Create a campaign

Query Google data sources

A sensible first hour

Start by reading, not writing. Ask for the last 30 days of performance, then for the search terms that spent without converting, then for an account audit. Those three answers usually tell you more about an account than an afternoon of clicking, and none of them changes anything.

When you do make a change, make one and check it. Add a negative keyword, approve the preview, then ask for the search-terms report again. Seeing the effect of a single change is what builds the judgement to approve bigger ones later.

Getting better answers

Remember. Every command that makes a change returns a preview first. It's only applied once you confirm — nothing changes by accident.

Common questions

Do I have to use the exact tool names?

No. Plain language is the interface, and the assistant maps what you said to a tool. Tool names appear in this documentation so you can be precise when you want to be, not because you have to type them.

The assistant answered without using the connector. How can I tell?

Real answers name your accounts, campaigns and numbers; a general answer talks about Google Ads in the abstract. If you get the second kind, the connector is usually not enabled in that chat. Asking it to list your accounts is a free way to check.

Nothing shows up when I ask for reports. What is wrong?

Most often the ad account is connected but empty for the period you asked about, or the campaign was created so recently that no data exists yet. Ask for a longer window first; if the account list itself is empty, the problem is the connection rather than the report.
