To create a shared negative keyword list in Google Ads with Claude or ChatGPT, connect your Google Ads account to PaidSync.ai and ask the assistant to create a shared negative keyword list and fill it, which gives you one list you can reuse across campaigns. First you create the list, then you add terms to it. Applying the list to campaigns is a separate step.

Which Tools Do the Work

A shared negative keyword list is one set of blocked terms that many campaigns can use, so you fix a bad term once. Claude builds it in two calls and can check what exists first:

list_shared_sets only reads your account. create_negative_keyword_list and add_to_negative_keyword_list change it.

How the Workflow Is Built

ToolWhat it does
list_shared_setsShows the shared lists already in the account
create_negative_keyword_listCreates the list
add_to_negative_keyword_listAdds terms to the list

Creating a list does nothing on its own. It only blocks traffic once it is applied to a campaign. A plain string is added as broad match, so give the match type for any term you want tighter control over.

How to Create a Shared Negative Keyword List in Google Ads With Claude in 5 Steps

These steps use Claude to create a shared negative keyword list. 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 shared negative keyword list.

2

Add PaidSync.ai to Claude

Install PaidSync.ai from Claude's connector directory and sign in. Ask "list my Google Ads accounts" and select the account to create a shared negative keyword list in.

3

Check for an existing list

Ask for the shared sets in the account. Reusing a list you already have keeps your negatives in one place.

4

Create and name the list

Pick a clear name such as Job Seekers or Free Intent, and ask the assistant to create the list. It returns a preview.

5

Add the terms

Give the assistant the terms with their match types and ask it to add them to the list. Approve the preview and list the set again.

How to Check the Result

List the shared sets again and open the new list to check the terms and match types. The list is only active once it is applied to a campaign, which is the next task.

Use these two prompts to create a shared negative keyword list, in this order.

"List the shared sets in my account."
Reads your account and changes nothing.
"Create a shared negative keyword list called Job Seekers and add jobs, careers and salary to it."
Comes back as a preview before it is applied.
