To create a portfolio bidding strategy in Google Ads with Claude or ChatGPT, connect your Google Ads account to PaidSync.ai and ask the assistant to create a portfolio bidding strategy, which several campaigns can share. Types include target CPA, target ROAS, maximize conversions, maximize conversion value and target impression share. The change is previewed first.

Which Tools Do the Work

A portfolio strategy applies one bidding goal across many campaigns. Claude lists what exists, then creates the new one:

list_bidding_strategies only reads your account. create_bidding_strategy and update_bidding_strategy change it.

How the Workflow Is Built

ToolWhat it does
list_bidding_strategiesShows strategies you already have
create_bidding_strategyCreates the shared strategy
update_bidding_strategyAdjusts the targets later

The target must match the type. Target CPA takes a CPA, target ROAS takes a ratio such as 4.0 for 400 percent, and target impression share takes a location, a fraction and a CPC ceiling. Creating a strategy does not attach it, so campaigns stay as they are until you do.

How to Create a Portfolio Bidding Strategy in Google Ads With Claude in 5 Steps

These steps use Claude to create a portfolio bidding strategy. PaidSync.ai also works in ChatGPT, and the prompts are the same.

1

Connect Google Ads to PaidSync.ai

Start at paidsync.ai, then link Google Ads through Google's own sign-in screen. No developer token and no Google Cloud project are involved. The login you choose must reach the account where you will create a portfolio bidding strategy.

2

Add PaidSync.ai to Claude

Open Claude's connector directory, add PaidSync.ai and sign in. Ask "list my Google Ads accounts", then pick the account where you will create a portfolio bidding strategy.

3

Check existing strategies

List the strategies in the account so you reuse one instead of creating a near copy.

4

Choose the type and target

Pick the type and the value, based on the cost per conversion or return you want across the campaigns.

5

Create it and attach

Ask for create_bidding_strategy, approve the preview, then attach the strategy to campaigns with update_campaign.

How to Check the Result

List the bidding strategies and check the new one shows its type and target. Let it run for its learning period before changing the target.

Use these two prompts to create a portfolio bidding strategy, in this order.

"List my portfolio bidding strategies with their performance for the last 30 days."
Reads your account and changes nothing.
"Create a portfolio bidding strategy called Lead Gen CPA 25 using target CPA with a target of 25."
Comes back as a preview before it is applied.
