This is real work, not a feature someone invented — it comes from real job ads and real questions people asked. Below are four ready AI prompts: get it done, make it easy for the next person to say yes to, work out the right move when you are stuck, and stop it coming back.

For all campaigns containing 'shoes' in their name, add 'free returns' to the second description line. Then, pause any ad that has not received an impression in the last 30 days across all accounts.

Before the end-of-quarter push, I need to clean up our ad accounts. Identify all duplicate keywords across all campaigns and ad groups and flag them for removal, prioritizing exact match types. Also, review all ad extensions for relevance and suggest any that are underperforming or could be improved for better click-through rates.

A new competitor has emerged, and we need to quickly adjust our messaging.
A new, aggressive competitor just launched with a very similar product and a strong value proposition. My team needs to quickly update our ad copy across dozens of ad groups to highlight our unique selling points and counter their claims. I'm worried about missing a key ad or inconsistent messaging if we do this manually. What's the most efficient way to review and revise all relevant ad copy to reflect our updated competitive stance, ensuring consistency and speed?

I frequently find outdated or irrelevant ad copy still running in various campaigns.
I'm constantly discovering old promotions, outdated product features, or irrelevant seasonal messaging still active in our campaigns, sometimes months after they should have been removed. This erodes trust and wastes budget. I need a more reliable way to ensure all promotional copy is current and relevant. What habit should I change to systematically review and update or remove outdated promotional copy across all campaigns, preventing these embarrassing and costly mistakes?

Questions people actually ask

honest answers, no sign-up

Every task here was seen in the real world. Someone doing the job named it, a real job ad asked for it, or a lot of people asked about it online.

If nothing real showed a task, it is not on the page. That is the whole rule.

They are the same job approached four ways, because what you need depends on where you are.

Get it done today. Make it easy for the next person to say yes to. Work out the right move when you are stuck. Learn the pattern so the job stops coming back.

For most of these jobs it can carry the heavy thinking - draft it, sort it, check it, rehearse it with you.

It cannot sit in your chair, take the blame when a number is wrong, or notice what nobody wrote down. Let it do the first 80%. Keep the last 20% that is truly yours.

No. Copy any prompt and paste it into the AI you already use. No account, no score, no wall in the way.

Any of them. The prompts describe the work rather than naming a product, so they are not tied to one assistant.

That is also why they keep working when you switch.

Change it freely. Every prompt is a starting line, not a rule.

Put in your real numbers, your real names and your real deadline. The more you make it yours, the better the answer comes back.

The tasks come from real job ads, published job data and the questions people ask in public forums.

The steps come from Google Ads's own documentation, with practitioner sources for the traps the manual does not mention.

Push once. Ask it to sharpen the weakest part and to say what it assumed.

Most wrong answers come from a missing detail rather than a bad prompt - tell it the thing it could not know.
