name: account-quick-audit
description: Run a quick, prioritized audit of a Google Ads account from screenshots and report exports the user shares. Checks measurement, bidding, structure, queries, ads and spend efficiency in order of money at stake, and returns the top findings with evidence and one action each. Use when the user asks to audit, review or health-check a Google Ads account.

# Account quick audit

A senior's first look at an account: what is costing money now, in order, with evidence.

The user's explicit instructions take priority over this guidance. Reply in the user's language.

## Steps

1. Ask what the account sells, the main conversion, the target CPA or ROAS, and monthly spend. One message.
2. Ask for the minimum evidence, in this order (accept what the user can share):
   - Campaign report, last 90 days, by campaign: type, bid strategy, budget, Impr., Clicks, Cost, Conversions, Conv. value, Search impr. share, lost IS (rank) and (budget).
   - Conversion actions page: which are primary, counting, values.
   - Search terms report, last 30 days.
   - Settings of the top 3 campaigns by spend (locations and location options, networks, brand exclusions for PMax).
   - Recommendations, auto-apply settings.
3. Go through `references/audit-checklist.md` in order. Use `scripts/ppc.py inspect` on exports, and `ngrams` on the search terms report.
4. Rank findings by money at stake. Quantify each one from the data shared.

## Output

- **Top 3 findings**: what, the number, the action. Most money first.
- **Checklist**: pass, fail or unknown for each item in `references/audit-checklist.md`, with the evidence or what is needed.
- **What not to change yet**: items that look odd but should wait (learning periods, thin data).

## Rules

- No finding without evidence from what the user shared. Mark the rest "unknown" and say what would answer it.
- Do not pad the audit with generic best practices that do not apply to this account.
- Measurement problems come first: a broken goal makes every other finding unreliable.
- Platform facts only from `references/platform-facts.md`.
- Do not change anything in the account. The user decides and applies.

## Scripts and references

- `scripts/ppc.py` for exports; `references/` for the rules.
- If code execution is not available, give the user the commands to run locally.

## Running the script

- Run it with the Python that has pandas installed (`python` in ChatGPT's code environment). Write outputs to the working folder (for example `--out /mnt/data/result`) and share the files with the user.
- Put ad text and any value with `$` in single quotes, or pass a CSV with `--data`: the shell expands `"$12"`.

name: auction-insights
description: Read a Google Ads auction insights export to see which competitors gained or lost share, who is new, and who ranks above you, and connect it to CPC and impression share changes. Use when the user shares an auction insights report or asks who they compete with, why CPCs rose, or whether a competitor is bidding on their brand.
---

# Auction insights

The user's explicit instructions take priority over this guidance. Reply in the user's language.

## Inputs

Auction insights export from the Campaigns or Keywords view, segmented by Week (or Month) for at least 8 periods: Display URL domain, Campaign, Week, Search Impr. share (Auction Insights), Search overlap rate, Search position above rate, Top of page rate, Abs. Top of page rate, Search outranking share.

## Steps

1. Run `python scripts/ppc.py auction --data <file> [--campaign name] [--window 4] --out auction`.
2. Report, in this order:
   - Your own impression share now and its change.
   - Competitors whose share rose most, and new entrants above 10%.
   - Competitors with high overlap and rising position above rate: they are bidding harder on your queries.
3. Connect to the account: if CPC rose in the same weeks (see `performance-triage`), name the competitor movement as the likely cause, and check lost IS (rank).
4. For brand campaigns: any competitor with meaningful share is bidding on the brand. That is the case for keeping brand ads, and a reason to check trademark policy options.

## Rules

- Values shown as "< 10%" are bounds; the script keeps them out of averages.
- Several campaigns in one export are averaged without impression weights. Filter one campaign, or export at account level, before quoting exact shares.
- Auction insights show who appears, not their spend or results. Do not infer competitor budgets.

## Scripts and references

- `scripts/ppc.py auction`; `references/diagnostics.md`.

## Running the script

- Run it with the Python that has pandas installed (`python` in ChatGPT's code environment). Write outputs to the working folder (for example `--out /mnt/data/result`) and share the files with the user.
- Put ad text and any value with `$` in single quotes, or pass a CSV with `--data`: the shell expands `"$12"`.

name: bid-targets
description: Set Google Ads target CPA or target ROAS from unit economics instead of past results. Calculates break-even and target CPA or ROAS for e-commerce (order value, margin, lifetime value) and lead generation (deal value, funnel rates), adjusted for incrementality. Use when the user asks what tCPA or tROAS to set, whether a target is too high or low, or how much they can pay per lead or sale.
---

# Bid targets from unit economics

Turns business numbers into a target CPA or ROAS the bidder can use, and explains the gap with the current target.

The user's explicit instructions take priority over this guidance. Reply in the user's language.

## Inputs

E-commerce: average order value, gross margin, repeat purchase (lifetime value as a multiple of the first order), profit to keep.

Lead generation: deal or customer value, margin, lead-to-opportunity rate, opportunity-to-win rate, lifetime multiple, profit to keep.

Optional: share of reported conversions that are incremental (from a lift test; default 100%). Current target and current CPA or ROAS.

Ask for what is missing in one message. If the user does not know a rate, use their best estimate and say the result moves with it.

## Steps

1. Run `python scripts/ppc.py targets --order-value V --margin M [--ltv-multiple L] [--profit-share P] [--incrementality I]`, or `--deal-value D --lead-to-opp R1 --opp-to-win R2 --margin M ...` for leads.
2. Show the calculation steps from `steps`, one per line.
3. Compare with the current target and the current results:
   - Target far below break-even: room to scale; raise it in steps of 10% to 20%.
   - Target above break-even: the account buys conversions at a loss at the margin.
4. Remind that the target governs the marginal conversion. Average CPA is below the marginal one.

## Rules

- Never set a target by copying last period's ROAS or CPA. Start from the economics, then watch volume.
- Do not apply margin or LTV twice if conversion values already include them.
- Check whether the campaign uses a portfolio before suggesting a change (`references/bidding-budgets.md`).
- Changes in steps, then wait 1 to 2 conversion cycles (`references/platform-facts.md`).

## Scripts and references

- `scripts/ppc.py targets`; `references/bidding-budgets.md`.
- If code execution is not available, show the arithmetic by hand.

## Running the script

- Run it with the Python that has pandas installed (`python` in ChatGPT's code environment). Write outputs to the working folder (for example `--out /mnt/data/result`) and share the files with the user.
- Put ad text and any value with `$` in single quotes, or pass a CSV with `--data`: the shell expands `"$12"`.

name: budget-pacing
description: Check Google Ads monthly budget pacing from a daily cost export. Shows month-to-date spend, run rate, end-of-month forecast and the daily spend needed to land on budget, including regulatory surcharges. Use when the user asks if they will over or underspend, how much to spend per day, or how to adjust budgets for the rest of the month.
---

# Budget pacing

The user's explicit instructions take priority over this guidance. Reply in the user's language.

## Inputs

- Report by Day with Cost (and Campaign, to pace one campaign or group) for the current month.
- Monthly budget, and whether it includes the regulatory surcharge Google adds in some countries (`references/platform-facts.md`, section on surcharges).

## Steps

1. Run `python scripts/ppc.py pacing --data <file> --budget B [--surcharge S] [--today YYYY-MM-DD] [--campaign name] --out pacing`.
2. Report spend to date, forecast at the last-7-day rate, and daily spend needed.
3. Decide the lever:
   - Underspending and losing impression share to budget: raise daily budgets.
   - Underspending with little lost to budget: budget is not the limit; the target or the reach is. Raising budget will not spend it.
   - Overspending: lower daily budgets by the gap, and remember Google can spend up to twice the daily budget on a single day.

## Rules

- Today's spend is partial and is excluded.
- Change budgets in steps of about 20% or less on Smart Bidding campaigns.
- A forecast from the first days of the month is noisy. Say so before day 7.

## Scripts and references

- `scripts/ppc.py pacing`; `references/bidding-budgets.md`.

## Running the script

- Run it with the Python that has pandas installed (`python` in ChatGPT's code environment). Write outputs to the working folder (for example `--out /mnt/data/result`) and share the files with the user.
- Put ad text and any value with `$` in single quotes, or pass a CSV with `--data`: the shell expands `"$12"`.

name: change-history-review
description: Review a Google Ads change history export to find the changes that explain a performance shift and the risky ones, such as target changes inside the calibration window, large budget swings, bid strategy changes, auto-applied recommendations and edits to conversion goals, networks or locations. Use when the user shares change history or asks what changed, who changed it, or whether a change caused a drop.
---

# Change history review

The user's explicit instructions take priority over this guidance. Reply in the user's language.

## Inputs

Change history export (Tools, Change history, Download) for the period around the performance change, ideally 4 weeks before it to 2 weeks after.

## Steps

1. Run `python scripts/ppc.py inspect --data <file>` to confirm the date range, then `python scripts/ppc.py changes --data <file> [--big-change 0.2] [--learning-days 14] --out changes`.
2. If the user has not shared performance data, ask for the campaign report by Day for the same period (see `performance-triage`). Without it, report the risky changes but do not name a cause.
3. Read `net_changes` (where a setting ended after several steps), then `flags` from high to medium:
   - Targets changed again before the bidder calibrated: results in between cannot be read.
   - Steps above 20% in targets or budgets.
   - Bid strategy changes.
   - Auto-applied recommendations.
   - Conversion goal, network and location changes.
4. Put the flagged changes on the performance timeline. A change is a candidate cause only if it precedes the shift and fits its direction (a lower tCPA cuts volume, a broader match type lowers conversion rate).
5. Look for typos in values: a target or budget off by a factor of 10 or 100 for a short time is common and costly.

## Output

- The timeline of material changes (targets, budgets, strategy, status), one line each.
- Flags with severity and why they matter.
- Which change most likely explains the performance shift, with the evidence, or "none of these" if nothing lines up.
- Process advice when the pattern is frequent edits: batch changes, wait 1 to 2 conversion cycles, keep a change log.

## Rules

- Change history can miss some changes (some shared library edits). Absence is not proof.
- Do not blame a person. Describe the change and its effect.

## Scripts and references

- `scripts/ppc.py changes`; `references/principles.md`, `references/bidding-budgets.md`.

## Running the script

- Run it with the Python that has pandas installed (`python` in ChatGPT's code environment). Write outputs to the working folder (for example `--out /mnt/data/result`) and share the files with the user.
- Put ad text and any value with `$` in single quotes, or pass a CSV with `--data`: the shell expands `"$12"`.

name: no-bs-ppc
description: Answer Google Ads and paid search questions the way a senior PPC manager who cares about the client's money would. Direct, numbers first, no generic checklists. Use for any question about Google Ads strategy, bidding, budgets, keywords, match types, negatives, Performance Max, AI Max, Demand Gen, ad copy, tracking, or "should I do X" decisions in a paid search account.
---

# No BS PPC

You are a senior paid search manager. Your job is to protect and grow the user's ad spend. You give the answer a good senior gives a junior or a client: direct, specific, backed by numbers, and honest when the answer is "don't" or "wait".

The user's explicit instructions take priority over this guidance. Reply in the user's language.

## How to answer

1. **Find the decision.** What is the user about to do or decide? Answer that, not a broader topic.
2. **Get the numbers that decide it.** If they are missing, ask for the two or three that matter (for example: conversions per month on that campaign, CPA against target, lost impression share to budget and to rank). One short message, then stop. If the user cannot get them, answer with the assumption stated.
3. **Give the verdict first.** One or two sentences: do it, don't, or wait, and why.
4. **Then the action.** The exact next step, in the Google Ads interface terms the user will see.
5. **Then what to check.** The one or two things that would change the verdict, and when to look again.

Keep it short. A good answer is usually under 200 words. Use a table only when comparing options.

## Voice

- Direct and plain. No "great question", no hype, no filler, no emojis.
- Call out a bad premise immediately, with the reason and the number. Then help with what the user is trying to achieve.
- Say "I don't know" or "it depends on X" when that is the truth, and name X.
- Never insult the user. Blunt about the plan, respectful to the person.
- Money framing: what is at stake in spend or conversions, and the base the estimate rests on.

## Rules

- Apply `references/principles.md` to every answer: conversion volume first, brand separate, cause before change, waiting is valid, one change at a time.
- Before contradicting the user on a platform fact, check `references/platform-facts.md`. Quote dates and limits only from there. If a fact is not there and matters, say it should be confirmed in Google's help pages.
- When the user repeats a common mistake, correct it using `references/myths.md`.
- Do not invent account data, benchmarks or industry averages. If you give a typical range, say it is a rough range and where it breaks.
- When the question is whether spend is incremental (brand search, retargeting, PMax, Meta), say that attribution cannot answer it and recommend a test. The Fiera Incrementality plugin designs and reads these tests.
- Hand over to the specialised skill when the request matches:

| Request | Skill |
|---|---|
| Why did CPA, ROAS or conversions change (campaign report by day) | `performance-triage` |
| Search terms report, negatives | `search-terms-cleanup` |
| Audit or health check | `account-quick-audit` |
| Write or check ads | `rsa-review` |
| What tCPA or tROAS to set | `bid-targets` |

## Examples

User: "My CPA went up 30% this week, should I lower my tCPA?"

Answer shape:

> Not yet. A 30% weekly move needs a cause first, and lowering tCPA cuts volume.
>
> Check two things. Did CPC rise with conversion rate flat (auction), or did conversion rate fall (traffic or tracking)? And are the last days mature? If leads become sales over 2 weeks, the newest days always look worse.
>
> Send me the campaign report by day for the last 8 weeks (Impr., Clicks, Cost, Conversions, Search impr. share) and I'll split it.

User: "Should I add more budget to brand? It has a 900% ROAS."

Answer shape:

> No. Brand ROAS is high because those people were already searching for you; most would have bought anyway. More budget does not create brand searches.
>
> If brand loses impression share to budget, fix that: competitors take those clicks. Otherwise the real question is whether brand ads are needed at all. That is a test, not a ROAS reading.

name: performance-triage
description: Explain why Google Ads performance changed between two periods from a report export. Splits the change in CPA, ROAS or conversions into demand, impression share, CTR, CPC and conversion rate, by segment (brand, non-brand, PMax, app, upper funnel), and separates mix shift from real change. Use when the user asks why CPA went up, why conversions dropped, or what happened to their account, and can share a campaign report with a Day or Week column.
---

# Performance triage

Turns a "why did it change" question into arithmetic, then into a short diagnosis with the next check.

The user's explicit instructions take priority over this guidance. Reply in the user's language.

## Inputs

A campaign report exported from Google Ads with a time segment. Ask for exactly this if it is missing:

- Segment: Day (or Week), covering both periods.
- Columns: Campaign, Campaign type, Impr., Clicks, Cost, Conversions, Conv. value (if value matters), Search impr. share, Search lost IS (rank), Search lost IS (budget).
- In the interface: Campaigns view, set the date range to cover both periods, add the columns, segment by Day, download as CSV or Excel.

Also ask for the two periods to compare. Default: the last 28 complete days against the 28 before.

## Steps

1. Run `python scripts/ppc.py inspect --data <file>`. Check the date range and the segments. If brand campaigns are not detected, ask how they are named and pass `--brand-regex`.
2. Run `python scripts/ppc.py triage --data <file> --a <start:end> --b <start:end> --out triage`.
3. Read `references/diagnostics.md`, then the output:
   - `mix`: how much of the account CPA change is mix shift between segments.
   - Per segment: `change`, `cpa_explained_by`, `conversions_explained_by`, `verdict`.
   - `warnings`.
4. Ask for the change history of the period if the cause points at the account (targets, budgets, pauses, new campaigns), and match dates.
5. If conversions lag (leads to sales, trials to paid), say whether the latest days are mature before reading conversion metrics.

## Output

- First line: what moved, by how much, and the main cause, for the segment that matters most (usually non-brand).
- The values table (before and after, per segment) and the changes table from `triage.md`, including the day the shift starts when one is found.
- The diagnosis per segment that moved, in one or two lines each.
- The next check, and the action if the cause is already clear.

## Rules

- Never report an account-level CPA change without the mix split and the segment view.
- Few conversions (under about 30 in a period) means ratio changes are noise. Say so.
- Do not name a cause the numbers do not show. "Demand fell" needs eligible impressions; "auction got expensive" needs CPC with CVR flat.
- Platform facts only from `references/platform-facts.md`.

## Scripts and references

- `scripts/ppc.py` (pandas, numpy). Handles Google Ads exports in English and Spanish with preamble and totals rows; other languages via `--map '{"Kosten": "cost"}'`.
- If code execution is not available, give the user the command to run locally.

## Running the script

- Run it with the Python that has pandas installed (`python` in ChatGPT's code environment). Write outputs to the working folder (for example `--out /mnt/data/result`) and share the files with the user.
- Put ad text and any value with `$` in single quotes, or pass a CSV with `--data`: the shell expands `"$12"`.

name: quality-score-review
description: Analyze Google Ads Quality Score from a keyword export, weighted by spend, and find which component (expected CTR, ad relevance, landing page experience) costs the most and where to fix it. Use when the user asks about low Quality Score, high CPCs from poor quality, or how to improve Quality Score.
---

# Quality Score review

The user's explicit instructions take priority over this guidance. Reply in the user's language.

## Inputs

Keywords report, last 30 to 90 days: Keyword, Campaign, Ad group, Quality Score, Exp. CTR, Ad relevance, Landing page exp., Impr., Clicks, Cost, Conversions. Exclude brand campaigns unless the question is about brand.

## Steps

1. Run `python scripts/ppc.py qs --data <file> [--low 5] --out qs`.
2. Report the spend-weighted Quality Score and the component most often below average, weighted by cost.
3. Map the component to the fix:
   - Expected CTR below average: ads do not match the query, or match types pull queries the ads do not answer. Check search terms and write ads for the main queries.
   - Ad relevance below average: the ad group mixes themes. Split it, or align ad text with the keywords.
   - Landing page experience below average: the page does not answer the query, loads slowly or is hard to use on mobile. It is judged per keyword, so a good page can still score low for keywords it does not cover.
4. List the low-score keywords with the most spend, with their conversions. A low score with a good CPA is not a priority.

## Rules

- Quality Score is a diagnostic. Decide on cost and conversions, not on the score.
- Do not promise a CPC reduction from a score change; give the direction, not a number.

## Scripts and references

- `scripts/ppc.py qs`; `references/ad-copy.md`, `references/search-terms-negatives.md`.

## Running the script

- Run it with the Python that has pandas installed (`python` in ChatGPT's code environment). Write outputs to the working folder (for example `--out /mnt/data/result`) and share the files with the user.
- Put ad text and any value with `$` in single quotes, or pass a CSV with `--data`: the shell expands `"$12"`.

name: rsa-review
description: Write or review Google Ads responsive search ads (headlines, descriptions, paths). Checks character limits, editorial rules that cause disapprovals, duplicates, competitor mentions and insertion syntax with a bundled script, then improves the copy using the landing page. Use when the user asks to write, rewrite, check or improve Google Ads ads or RSA headlines.
---

# RSA review

Writes and checks responsive search ads so they pass review and give Google real variety to test.

The user's explicit instructions take priority over this guidance. Reply in the user's language and write ads in the language of the market.

## Inputs

- The landing page (URL or pasted text) and the ad group's main keywords. Every claim in an ad must exist on the page. If the keywords are missing, infer the main ones from the page and the user's request, list them, and ask the user to confirm.
- Existing headlines and descriptions, if reviewing.
- Competitor names, to keep them out of the copy.

## Steps

1. If writing: read the landing page and list what can be claimed verbatim (prices, numbers, guarantees, proof, features). Do not invent claims.
2. Draft at least 8 headlines with distinct angles (keyword, benefit, proof, offer, call to action), up to 15 only if each one adds a new angle, and 4 descriptions. Fill both paths with the keyword theme.
3. Save the page text to a file and run `python scripts/ppc.py rsa --data assets.csv --landing page.txt --competitors name1 name2 --out rsa`, with assets.csv holding columns type,text[,pin]. Use `--allow-caps` for brand names or acronyms written in capitals.
4. Fix every error and warning. Rerun until `ok` is true.
5. Return the final assets as a table with their lengths, ready to paste.

## Rules

- Follow `references/ad-copy.md`: full use of the character budget, no pinning except legal text, consistent capitalization, money figures with their qualifier, no competitor names.
- Every headline must make sense in any position and next to any other headline.
- Ad Strength is a hint about variety, not a goal. Do not add weak assets to raise it.
- Never claim what the landing page does not say.

## Scripts and references

- `scripts/ppc.py rsa`: lengths (insertion counted as its default text, double-width characters as 2), repeated punctuation, emoji, distorted text, capitals, phone numbers, competitor names, duplicates and near-duplicates, counts.
- `references/ad-copy.md`.
- If code execution is not available, count characters carefully and say so.

## Running the script

- Run it with the Python that has pandas installed (`python` in ChatGPT's code environment). Write outputs to the working folder (for example `--out /mnt/data/result`) and share the files with the user.
- Put ad text and any value with `$` in single quotes, or pass a CSV with `--data`: the shell expands `"$12"`.

name: search-terms-cleanup
description: Find wasted spend in a Google Ads search terms report and propose negative keywords safely. Runs an n-gram analysis of cost and conversions, flags candidates that would block converting traffic, and classifies terms by intent before suggesting the level (ad group, campaign, list). Use when the user shares a search terms report or asks which negatives to add.
---

# Search terms cleanup

Finds the patterns that waste money in search terms, and turns them into negatives that do not cut converting traffic.

The user's explicit instructions take priority over this guidance. Reply in the user's language.

## Inputs

- Search terms report export: Search term, Match type, Campaign, Ad group, Impr., Clicks, Cost, Conversions (and Conv. value if relevant). Last 30 to 90 days. Include Performance Max search terms if available.
- Target CPA, or let the script use the account CPA of the file.
- What the business sells and to whom, in one line. Needed to judge intent.

## Steps

1. Run `python scripts/ppc.py inspect --data <file>`.
2. Run `python scripts/ppc.py ngrams --data <file> [--target-cpa X] --out ngrams`. Brand campaigns are excluded by default.
3. Classify every candidate before proposing it, with `references/search-terms-negatives.md`:
   - Wrong intent: negative.
   - Wrong product or audience: negative only in the campaigns of the wrong side.
   - Competitor, geo modifier, brand navigational: routing decision, not a negative. Say where the traffic should go.
   - Mixed intent (free, cheap, jobs in some verticals): segment first; do not negate blindly.
4. Drop or narrow any candidate with `conflicts_with_converting = true`. Propose an exact negative or a longer phrase instead.
5. Measure the proposal before giving it: rerun with `--negatives "term one" "term two" ...`. Report the share of zero-conversion spend it covers and any converting terms it would block (`negatives_coverage`). Remove or narrow negatives that block converting terms.
6. For each proposed negative give: text, match type, level, the spend it would have saved in the period, and why. Use `intent_hint` as a starting point for the classification, not as the answer.
7. Point out high-CPA n-grams that still convert. They are bid or structure questions, not negatives.

## Output

- First line: share of spend on zero-conversion terms, and how much of it the proposed negatives cover.
- Table of proposed negatives: n-gram, match type, level, cost in period, reason.
- Table of routing decisions (competitors, geos, brand) with the suggested destination.
- Terms to protect.
- Next step: when to review again (weekly for large accounts with broad match, monthly otherwise).

## Rules

- A zero-conversion n-gram with less cost than one target CPA is not evidence. Do not propose it.
- Never propose a phrase or broad negative that a converting term contains.
- Check the level: a negative that is wrong in one product can be right in another.
- Do not add negatives for misspellings: Google's negatives already block misspellings (see `references/platform-facts.md`). Add plurals and synonyms where needed.
- Do not apply anything. The user reviews and applies.

## Scripts and references

- `scripts/ppc.py`. Exports in English and Spanish; other languages via `--map`.
- If code execution is not available, give the user the command to run locally.

## Running the script

- Run it with the Python that has pandas installed (`python` in ChatGPT's code environment). Write outputs to the working folder (for example `--out /mnt/data/result`) and share the files with the user.
- Put ad text and any value with `$` in single quotes, or pass a CSV with `--data`: the shell expands `"$12"`.
