To set location bid adjustments in Google Ads with Claude or ChatGPT, connect your Google Ads account to PaidSync.ai and ask the assistant to set a bid adjustment for a location, which raises or lowers your bid there. A modifier of 0.5 halves the bid and 1.5 adds 50 percent. This never excludes a location, so use geo targeting for that.
Location bid adjustments let you pay more in places that convert and less in places that do not. Claude finds the place, then sets the modifier:
search_geo_targets finds the location ID for a place by name.set_location_bid_adjustment sets a bid adjustment for a location on a campaign, in the range 0.1 to 10.0.search_geo_targets only reads your account. set_location_bid_adjustment changes it.
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| search_geo_targets | Turns a place name into an ID |
| set_location_bid_adjustment | Writes the modifier |
The valid range is 0.1 to 10.0, which is Google's limit. The tool never excludes a location. To stop showing ads somewhere, use the geo targeting tools to exclude it instead.
These steps use Claude to set location bid adjustments. PaidSync.ai also works in ChatGPT, and the prompts are the same.
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 set location bid adjustments.
Open Claude's connector directory, add PaidSync.ai and sign in. Ask "list my Google Ads accounts", then pick the account where you will set location bid adjustments.
Ask the assistant to search for the city or region and show the match.
Decide the change, such as 1.25 for a strong city and 0.8 for a weak one.
Ask it to run set_location_bid_adjustment. Approve the preview and read the campaign targeting back.
Compare cost per conversion by location after a couple of weeks and tune the modifier. Avoid changing many locations at once.
Use these two prompts to set location bid adjustments, in this order.
