Move Google Ads tasks between 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.

Move all active keywords from the 'Q3 Clearance' campaign in the 'Apparel Brand X' account to the 'End of Season Sale' campaign in the 'Apparel Brand Y' account. Ensure the bids carry over, and pause the original keywords in 'Apparel Brand X' once they're moved.

Before I move these high-performing keywords from the legacy 'Blue Widgets' account to the new 'Advanced Blue Widgets' account, check for any potential conflicts. Flag if any of these keywords already exist in the new account, and suggest how to adjust bids to maintain their performance given the new account's overall budget.

I just tried to move a complex ad group, and it's throwing an error about a 'policy violation' that wasn't there before.
I just tried to move a complex ad group for 'Health Supplements' from the test account to the live one, and it's throwing an error about a 'policy violation' that wasn't there before. I'm afraid I've accidentally triggered something new or that the live account has stricter rules. The client expects this to go live by end of day. What's the most common reason for a policy violation when moving ad groups, and what's the quickest way to diagnose and fix it so it can launch today?

I'm constantly losing track of which ad groups and campaigns have been moved or duplicated across accounts.
I'm constantly losing track of which ad groups and campaigns have been moved or duplicated across accounts, leading to redundant efforts and missed optimizations. It feels like I'm always double-checking. What habit should I change to better track and manage these transfers, ensuring I always know the current status and avoid unnecessary work?

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.
