Can Gemini make changes to my live Google Ads campaigns?

Can I connect other ad platforms to Gemini through PaidSync?

Yes. The same PaidSync API key works across Gemini, Claude, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Copilot. See the Google Ads to Claude page for Claude-specific setup.

What Google Ads OAuth scopes does PaidSync request?

PaidSync requests https://www.googleapis.com/auth/adwords. This gives read and write access to all campaigns, ad groups, keywords, and reports under the connected Google Ads account.

Does Gemini support MCP servers?

Yes, in several places. In the Gemini app on a personal account, add PaidSync under Settings, Connected Apps, Custom apps for Spark. Gemini CLI adds it with one command, Gemini Code Assist and Antigravity read an httpUrl entry in ~/.gemini/settings.json, and on Gemini Enterprise Business an admin adds it under Connected apps, Add MCP Server. Once PaidSync is added, Gemini can call its 152 Google Ads tools in a normal chat.

Is Google's own AI in Google Ads not enough?

Google's AI inside Google Ads works inside that interface. With PaidSync, Gemini can pause campaigns, restructure ad groups, compare custom date ranges, and reach Meta or LinkedIn from the same chat.

Can PaidSync break my Google Ads campaigns?

PaidSync runs the changes you ask for. Gemini's own confirmation prompt is the check before a change runs, new Search campaigns start paused, and a budget change of more than 50 percent needs an explicit confirm. Every change also shows in your Google Ads change history, where you can review and reverse it.

Connect Google Ads to Gemini in 2 Minutes

5-Step Setup

Sign up at paidsync.ai/signup

Takes 10 seconds. Google or email sign-in. Free plan is 15 tasks per month at $0.

Connect your Google Ads account via OAuth

In your PaidSync dashboard, click Connect Google Ads. Sign in with the Google account that owns your ads. PaidSync requests the https://www.googleapis.com/auth/adwords scope for read and write access. Takes 60 seconds. Your credentials are never stored by PaidSync.

Copy your PaidSync API key

From the dashboard, copy your API key. It starts with ps_ and is unique to your account.

Add PaidSync to Gemini

Gemini app, personal account. Open gemini.google.com, go to Settings, then Connected Apps, and under Custom apps for Spark choose Add a custom app. Paste the PaidSync server URL and sign in. PaidSync registers itself, so there is no API key to copy and nothing to fill in under Advanced features.

https://mcp.paidsync.ai/mcp

Add it on the web once and it works in the Gemini mobile app too. Google limits custom apps to personal Google accounts, age 18 and over, in the US, with Keep Activity turned on. A work or school account cannot add them, so use Gemini Enterprise below instead.

Gemini CLI. Run the command, then type /mcp auth paidsync and sign in with your PaidSync login:

gemini mcp add --transport http paidsync https://mcp.paidsync.ai/mcp

Gemini Code Assist and Antigravity read the same settings file. Add this to ~/.gemini/settings.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "paidsync": { "httpUrl": "https://mcp.paidsync.ai/mcp" }
  }
}

Gemini Enterprise, Business edition. A team admin adds PaidSync under Settings and help, then Manage team, then Connected apps, then Add MCP Server. PaidSync serves the Streamable HTTP transport Gemini requires and OAuth 2.0 at https://api.paidsync.ai/authorize and https://api.paidsync.ai/token. Email support@paidsync.ai for the client credentials that form asks for.

Test the connection

Ask Gemini: "List my Google Ads accounts and show last 30 days spend"

Gemini responds with your account names, IDs, and spend data. The connection is live.

What Gemini Can Do with Google Ads

Once connected, Gemini has live access to your Google Ads data and can act on it in the same conversation.

Audit campaigns. Gemini reviews your ad groups, keywords, bids, and conversion tracking. It flags the 3 highest-impact fixes with specific numbers.
Find wasted spend. Gemini pulls your search terms report and identifies irrelevant clicks. It can add negative keywords immediately after your approval.
Create campaigns. Describe your product and target audience. Gemini builds the campaign structure, ad groups, keywords, and responsive search ads in one conversation.
Generate performance reports. Ask for any date range. Gemini returns spend, clicks, CPA, and ROAS in a readable table format.
Adjust budgets and bids. "Increase budget on my top 3 campaigns by 20%" runs as a budget change with an explicit confirm flag, and Gemini's own confirmation prompt is the human check.

PaidSync gives Gemini 152 Google Ads tools from a total of 630+ tools across all 14 connected platforms including Meta Ads, LinkedIn Ads, TikTok Ads, GA4, and more.

Google Ads prompts to try in Gemini

Each prompt runs on the PaidSync tools named after it and uses one or more of your tasks. Prompts 2, 3, 4 and 6 change your account, so check the preview before you confirm.

"Show me my campaigns and their ROAS this month. Which ones should I cut?" Runs get_campaign_performance, which returns cost, conversions and conversion value per campaign, so Gemini can work out ROAS.
"Pause every keyword with a CPA over $80 in the last 14 days." Runs get_keyword_performance on your top 100 keywords by cost, then pause_keyword, which previews each pause before it applies.
"Create a new Search campaign called 'Summer Sale' for running shoes with a $75 daily budget." Runs create_search_campaign, which creates the campaign paused, then create_ad_group, add_keywords and create_responsive_search_ad for the rest.
"Add 30 negative keywords to my brand campaign to block competitor terms." Runs add_negative_keywords at campaign or ad group level, as a preview first.
"Audit my Performance Max campaigns. What is weak?" Runs get_pmax_insights, which returns results by channel, Google's asset performance ratings and the top search themes.
"Increase budgets by 20% on my top 3 campaigns by ROAS." Runs get_campaign_performance, then update_campaign_budget for each campaign. A change of more than 50 percent needs an explicit confirm.
"Compare my Search campaigns with my YouTube campaigns. Where is the better return?" Runs get_campaign_performance, which includes each campaign's type.
"For my manager account, summarize spend by client account this month." Gemini lists the accounts under your manager (MCC) account with list_google_ads_accounts and reads each one with get_campaign_performance.
