Maintain Google Ads accounts

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.

Check the 'Local Services' campaign in the 'Smith Plumbing' account to ensure the daily budget is still $50 and all advertisements are active.

Before our weekly sync with the 'Acme Widgets' client, review their account for any immediate issues – check for disapproved advertisements, low budget alerts, or significant drops in impression share. Prioritize anything that could impact our end-of-week conversion goals.

The client just called, upset about a sudden drop in leads, and I see a 'Limited by Budget' alert.
The 'XYZ Retail' client just called, upset about a sudden drop in leads this morning, and I see a 'Limited by Budget' alert on their main campaign. I'm afraid to increase the budget without understanding why it ran out so fast, but I also can't afford to lose more leads. I don't know if this is a temporary spike in competition or a deeper issue. What's the best next move to stabilize performance and reassure the client?

I'm constantly reacting to client issues instead of proactively identifying and fixing account problems.
I'm constantly reacting to client issues like sudden performance drops or disapproved advertisements, instead of proactively identifying and fixing account problems before they impact the client. This makes me feel behind and less credible. What habit should I change to ensure I'm performing regular, comprehensive checks on all client accounts, catching potential issues before they become emergencies?

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.
