To remove a keyword in Google Ads with Claude or ChatGPT, connect your Google Ads account to PaidSync.ai and ask the assistant to remove a keyword by its resource name, which deletes it from the ad group. Removal is permanent, so it returns as a preview and needs your confirmation. If you only want it off for a while, pause it instead.
Removing a keyword deletes the criterion. The tool also removes campaign-level negatives and shared list entries, and Claude finds the right one first:
list_keywords lists keywords with their resource names, match types and bids.list_negative_keywords lists negative keywords at campaign and ad group level, each with the resource name a removal needs.remove_keyword removes a keyword criterion by its full resource name. It works for ad group keywords, campaign keywords and negatives. It runs as a preview and needs confirmation.list_keywords and list_negative_keywords only read your account. remove_keyword changes it.
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| list_keywords | Finds the keyword to remove |
| list_negative_keywords | Finds a negative keyword to remove |
| remove_keyword | Deletes the criterion after you confirm |
Account-level negatives made by PaidSync.ai live in a shared list, and the tool can remove an entry from that list. Account-level negatives through customer negative criteria are not supported. Prefer pausing when you may want the keyword back.
These steps use Claude to remove a keyword. PaidSync.ai also works in ChatGPT, and the prompts are the same.
Register at paidsync.ai and connect Google Ads with Google's own sign-in screen. It needs no developer token and no Google Cloud project. Pick the Google login that manages the account you will remove a keyword in.
Open Claude's connector directory, add PaidSync.ai and sign in. Ask "list my Google Ads accounts", then pick the account where you will remove a keyword.
List the keywords or the negatives and note the one to delete. The list includes the resource name.
Ask the assistant to remove it. The first call is a dry run that shows what would be deleted.
Confirm the removal, then list again to check it is gone.
List the keywords or negatives again and check the criterion no longer appears. A removed keyword cannot be restored, so you would add it again from scratch.
