Analyze and fix wasted ad spend
Identifies non-converting keywords and campaigns, then adds negative keywords to reduce wasted budget while maintaining conversion volume.
How it works
The agent first calls the appropriate wasted spend analysis tool (e.g., google_analyze_wasted_spend) for the target platform. It reviews the results to identify queries or campaigns that spent money without conversions. Before acting, it checks the list of suggested negatives to ensure they are relevant. If approved, it calls the add negative keywords tool (e.g., google_add_negative_keywords) at the campaign level. The agent must verify the user's approval before executing the write operation, as this modifies account settings.
