To update an ad group in Google Ads with Claude or ChatGPT, connect your Google Ads account to PaidSync.ai and ask the assistant to change an ad group name, bid or status, which updates the setting you name. A bid change of more than 50 percent needs an explicit confirmation. The change returns as a preview first.
Three things are editable on an ad group: its name, its status and its maximum CPC bid. Claude reads the group, then changes what you ask:
list_ad_groups returns the ad groups with their IDs, status and current settings.update_ad_group updates an ad group's name, status or CPC bid. A bid change of more than 50 percent needs confirm_large_change.list_ad_groups only reads your account. update_ad_group changes it.
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| list_ad_groups | Finds the ad group and its current bid |
| update_ad_group | Writes the new name, status or bid |
The large-change guard exists to catch typos such as 25.00 for 2.50. If you really mean a bigger move, say so and the assistant passes the confirmation. Smaller changes go straight to the preview.
These steps use Claude to update an ad group. PaidSync.ai also works in ChatGPT, and the prompts are the same.
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 update an ad group.
Open Claude's connector directory, add PaidSync.ai and sign in. Ask "list my Google Ads accounts", then pick the account where you will update an ad group.
Ask for the ad group with its current CPC bid and status so you have the starting point.
Tell the assistant the new name, bid or status. If the bid moves by more than half, say you confirm the large change.
Ask it to run update_ad_group. Check the old and new values in the preview, approve, and list the group again.
List the ad group again and check the name, bid and status. Review its results after a week to see whether the new bid changed volume or cost.
Use these two prompts to update an ad group, in this order.
