To apply a negative keyword list to a campaign in Google Ads with Claude or ChatGPT, connect your Google Ads account to PaidSync.ai and ask the assistant to apply a shared negative keyword list to a campaign, which starts blocking every term on the list for that campaign. Applying a list changes what the campaign can show for, so PaidSync.ai previews it and asks for your confirmation.
Once a shared list exists, applying it puts every term on it to work for a campaign. Claude reads the lists and the campaign, then makes one change:
list_shared_sets returns the shared sets and their IDs, so you can pick the list to apply.list_campaigns returns campaigns and their IDs.apply_negative_keyword_list applies a shared negative keyword list to a campaign. It runs as a preview and needs your confirmation.list_shared_sets and list_campaigns only read your account. apply_negative_keyword_list changes it.
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| list_shared_sets | Finds the list and its ID |
| list_campaigns | Finds the campaign and its ID |
| apply_negative_keyword_list | Attaches the list to the campaign after you confirm |
Read the list before you apply it. A term such as free or cheap can cut real demand on a campaign that sells budget products, so apply a list only to campaigns where its terms are wrong for you.
These steps use Claude to apply a negative keyword list to a campaign. PaidSync.ai also works in ChatGPT, and the prompts are the same.

Add PaidSync.ai from Claude's connector directory and sign in. Ask "list my Google Ads accounts" and choose the one to apply a negative keyword list to a campaign in.
Ask for the shared sets and the campaigns, and note the ID of each. Check the list contents so you know what it will block.
Ask the assistant to apply the list to the campaign. The first call is a dry run that shows what will change.
