Is this right for you

  • You are running Search or Performance Max and nobody reviews search terms weekly
  • Your conversions in Google Ads and your actual booked jobs are different numbers
  • You want the waste quantified before someone decides what to do about it

The problem

Search term waste is reliable and ignored.

Reviewing terms properly is tedious enough that it slips. Performance Max makes it worse by reporting less than it spends.

Every week without a review is another week of paying for queries you would have excluded on sight.

What you stop losing

Every week without a review is another week of paying for noise.

Search term waste is the most reliably recoverable spend in most accounts, and the most reliably ignored, because reviewing terms properly is tedious enough that it slips.

Performance Max makes it worse by reporting less than it spends. Every week without a review is another week of paying for queries you would have excluded on sight.

Framing, not a benchmark. Run the arithmetic against your own numbers.

How it works

How your search terms get reviewed every single day.

Ingest terms, join outcomes, recommend negatives, wait for approval.

01 · Daily

Pull search terms and spend

Search and Performance Max insights are read at the level Google exposes. Where reporting is limited, the row says so.

02 · Daily

Join booked outcomes

Platform-reported conversions sit next to actual booked jobs from your CRM or call tracking. The gap is the argument.

Recommendations are grouped by intent with recoverable spend attached at campaign or account level.

Search term review

Spend next to booked reality.

Each term shows spend, clicks, platform-reported conversions, and actual booked outcomes. The gap between the last two is the whole argument.

What stays human

Strategy shifts stay with people.

The agent quantifies waste and drafts the negative list. A person decides what lands in the account.

Where Performance Max reporting is limited, we say so rather than filling the gap with an assumption.

How we handle your data

  • Customer records stay tenant-scoped in your workspace
  • Raw contact content is not used to train public foundation models
  • De-identified outcome features may improve scoring under contract
  • Full export on request, no hold and no fee
  • Every field carries provenance: where it came from and when

Questions

What people ask before they start.

How does it handle Performance Max?

It reads the search term insights PMax exposes and flags where reporting is genuinely limited rather than filling the gap with an assumption.

What about phone calls?

Calls are first-class. With call tracking connected, a call from a search term is an outcome on the record, not an untracked event.

Does it recommend negatives at campaign or account level?

Both, grouped by intent, with the spend each grouping would have saved attached.

What if we already have a Google Ads agency?

This gives them a daily review they cannot do by hand and a prioritised list of recoverable spend. Several clients run it alongside an existing team.

Does it change bids without us?

No. Recommendations wait for approval. Automated bid strategy recommendations are planned, not live.

How do you treat the gap between Google conversions and jobs?

We show both numbers. Platform conversions alone are not treated as booked reality. The gap is what makes the waste argument auditable.

Do we need API access on day one?

A search terms export is enough to run the first waste read. API access is discussed when you want the review to run continuously.

Is Google Ads verified in your connector registry?

Ads spend ingest remains credential-blocked in this environment. Engagements run on exports or credentials you provide under review. We do not claim a live verified Google Ads connector here.

Will it invent ROAS or blended metrics?

No. Those metrics are refused as product claims. We show spend, clicks, platform conversions, and booked outcomes you can audit.

Why this framing

Recoverable spend is a worked read, not a promised ROAS. The operating model is the proof.
