To copy an ad group to another campaign in Google Ads with Claude or ChatGPT, connect your Google Ads account to PaidSync.ai and ask the assistant to copy an ad group into another campaign, which is how you move an ad group, since Google cannot change an ad group's campaign. You preview the whole copy first. The copy is created paused, and a separate cutover step enables it and pauses the original.

Which Tools Do the Work

Google cannot move an ad group between campaigns, so PaidSync.ai copies it and then switches over. It splits the job into three tools:

plan_ad_group_copy only reads your account. copy_ad_group and cutover_ad_group_copy change it.

How the Workflow Is Built

ToolWhat it does
plan_ad_group_copyShows exactly what the copy would contain
copy_ad_groupCreates the paused copy
cutover_ad_group_copySwitches serving from the original to the copy

The plan lists anything that cannot be copied, so read that section first. The cutover can wait until the copy shows impressions before the source is paused, which keeps you from going dark if the copy has a problem.

How to Copy an Ad Group to Another Campaign in Google Ads With Claude in 5 Steps

These steps use Claude to copy an ad group to another campaign. PaidSync.ai also works in ChatGPT, and the prompts are the same.

1

Connect Google Ads to PaidSync.ai

Sign up at paidsync.ai, then connect Google Ads on Google's own sign-in screen. There is no developer token and no Google Cloud project. Use the Google login that has access to the account where you want to copy an ad group to another campaign.

2

Add PaidSync.ai to Claude

Add PaidSync.ai from Claude's connector directory and sign in. Ask "list my Google Ads accounts" and choose the one to copy an ad group to another campaign in.

3

Preview the copy

Ask the assistant to plan the copy of the ad group into the destination campaign, and read the list of what is and is not copied.

4

Create the copy

Ask it to run copy_ad_group. After the preview, approve it and the copy is created paused.

5

Cut over

When you are ready, ask for the cutover. Confirm it, and the assistant enables the copy first and pauses the original after.

How to Check the Result

Check that the copy has impressions before you rely on it, and that the original is paused. Read both ad groups side by side if anything looks different.

Use these two prompts to copy an ad group to another campaign, in this order.

"Plan a copy of the ad group Emergency Repair into the campaign Lead Gen Spain and show me everything it would include."
Reads your account and changes nothing.
"Copy the ad group Emergency Repair into Lead Gen Spain and show me the preview."
Comes back as a preview before it is applied.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I copy an ad group to another campaign in Google Ads?

In Google Ads, you rebuild the ad group in the other campaign by hand, as the platform cannot move it. With PaidSync.ai, ask Claude or ChatGPT to plan, copy and cut over, and each step is previewed.

Why can the original not just be moved?

Google cannot change which campaign an ad group belongs to, so the supported route is to copy it and switch serving over.

Can ChatGPT copy an ad group to another campaign in Google Ads?

Yes. PaidSync.ai connects Google Ads to ChatGPT and to Claude, and the same tools run in both, so you can ask it to copy an ad group to another campaign the same way you would in Claude.

What do I need before I copy an ad group to another campaign?

A connected Google Ads account, the source ad group and an existing destination campaign in the same account.

How much does it cost?

PaidSync.ai is free for 15 tasks a month with no card, enough to copy an ad group to another campaign and see the result. Pro starts at $99 a month. See pricing.
