Perform bulk actions in Google Ads

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.

Before I launch the new holiday campaign, apply these 50 new negative keywords to all existing shopping campaigns to prevent irrelevant clicks. Flag any campaigns where these keywords might accidentally block legitimate traffic or where the list seems incomplete for their specific targeting.

I need to update bids for hundreds of keywords, but the automated rules aren't catching them all.
I'm trying to update bids for hundreds of keywords across multiple campaigns to hit a new CPA target, but the automated bidding rules aren't adjusting them quickly enough or for all the specific keywords. I'm worried we're overspending on some and missing opportunities on others, and Friday's performance review is looming. What's the best way to efficiently make these widespread bid changes without breaking anything, and what's the most common mistake people make when doing this at scale?

I spend too much time manually updating ad copy, bids, or budgets across many campaigns.
I frequently spend hours manually updating ad copy, adjusting bids, or tweaking budgets across dozens of campaigns. This repetitive work eats into my time and delays more strategic tasks. What habit should I change in how I approach these recurring campaign optimizations to leverage bulk actions more effectively, reducing manual effort and improving the speed and accuracy of my changes?

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.
