All the essential information for your setup

Customize your setup

Adapt Adalysis for your specific needs

Getting started

Welcome to the Adalysis Help Center

Whether you're just getting started or looking to go deeper, you're in the right place.

  • New to Adalysis? Start with our Quick start guide to get up and running in no time.

  • Ready to explore more? The TOOLS section (in the left hand side navigation menu) walks you through Adalysis’ most essential features.

  • Looking to automate routine work? Head over to the MANAGE section (in the left hand side navigation menu) for tutorials on streamlining tasks like handling search terms, optimizing ads, managing placements, and more.

Usage

Where to find important information

Access & structure

Make PPC accounts easy to access for your team

Number format

Choose between international and European number format

Numbers are rendered differently in Europe compared to the rest of the world. You can choose your preferred option from the Settings > Number format screen.

This setting is per email address, so each team member can choose their preferred option. The chosen number format will apply to all linked PPC accounts.

Account filters

Filter your accounts by audit alert type and other criteria

Prebuilt audit filters

On your Audit view, use the filters under Find accounts by alert type to quickly find all accounts with a specific alert type, e.g. search terms to be added as keywords.

Define your own filters

You can also create your own filters to find accounts with specific names, labels or tags. For example, some PPC teams tag each account with the name of the analyst responsible for it. This makes it easy to filter and review each team member's work.

Save your filter to reuse it later. Once saved, it will appear under Your filters.

Click on a saved filter to open it and display the relevant accounts.

Use to organize your accounts based on your own labels/tags. Then, create a matching filter to find matching accounts quickly.

Change history

Get a full change history for your whole team

To see your Adalysis change log, go to My account in the bottom-left menu. Then, select Change history.

This log doesn't show changes made outside Adalysis, e.g. directly in Google Ads.

User login history

View all logins by your team

To see your login history of all team members, go to the Teams screen as shown below.

Customize Adalysis for your team

Get your team up and running in Adalysis with a few quick setup steps

Adalysis is built for teamwork. Here are three quick steps you can take to get your team up and running quickly.

Team access

Choose Settings > Team to configure at the account and MCC level.

Find out more

Notifications

Make sure the right people stay informed with email and/or Slack notifications. Choose Settings > Notifications to configure your setup.

Account tags and filters

Adalysis tags work exactly like Google account labels, but without the visibility challenges. Use account tags and filters to easily pull up specific sets of accounts.

These are one-time setup tasks we recommend completing during onboarding, but you can always tweak them later as your team grows or changes.

Slack integration

Get your alerts directly in your Slack channel

Adalysis notifications can be sent via email and/or Slack. The settings can be accessed from Notifications in the bottom-left menu.

To integrate Slack with Adalysis, use the Connect option on that screen. You'll be redirected to Slack where you need to choose the relevant channel and grant Adalysis access.

There can be only one Slack channel per Adalysis account. All team members will share the channel for all notifications.

Quick start

Everything you need to know to hit the ground running

This quick start guide will show you how to navigate Adalysis and introduce core features that’ll help you hit the ground running. You’ll also complete a few one-time setup steps to customize your account.

Essential features to explore first

There are many ways the platform can help you scale your PPC campaigns, but we'd recommend starting with these core feature sets:

Notifications

Get the alerts you need without getting overwhelmed

To configure your email and Slack notifications, go to the bottom-left menu and choose Notifications.

Here you can:

  • Choose which Google Ads accounts you want to receive notifications for.

  • Amend the email address that will receive the notifications.

Team members

Set up access for your team

You can give your team access to either individual Google Ads accounts or MCCs linked to Adalysis. If given access to an MCC, the team member will be able to see and manage all accounts within that MCC and its sub MCCs.

Team members will have access to all features except for billing or managing other team members.

There are two settings to define when adding a new team member:

Account tags

Like Google account labels, but better

Tags are an Adalysis configuration that you won't find in Google Ads or Microsoft Ads. They work in exactly the same way as Google account labels, but they get around the visibility challenges Google labels have.

Creating & assigning an account tag

To create and apply a tag to an account, select the account and click the account tags icon on any overview screen. You can then use to find accounts with specific tags.

For example, team leads might create a tag for each PPC analyst in their team. During one-to-ones or account reviews, this makes it easy to pull up the accounts that analyst is responsible for.

Global settings template

Apply your preferred settings automatically to all new accounts linked to Adalysis

Apply your preferred settings automatically to all new accounts linked to Adalysis. This builds a consistent yet tailored approach for your whole team. You can find the Global template under Settings in the bottom-left menu.

Adding or removing settings from the global template doesn’t affect existing accounts. The changes will only apply to accounts linked in the future.

Here are the settings you can add to the global template:

PPC accounts

Link and unlink PPC accounts from your Adalysis plan

You can link/unlink accounts from the Custom view, both during the free trial or your paid subscription. Click the link icon on any overview screen.

You can link Google Ads accounts that are directly accessible in Google with the email address used to create the Adalysis account. In other words, the visibility of the accounts in Adalysis is the same as in Google Ads. See below if you want to link accounts that belong to a different email address.

Access level:
  • View only — can see all data but can’t make changes. Use this option if you want to give someone read-only access.

  • View & edit — can make changes in Adalysis.

Changes appear in Change History under:

  • Admin user: Changes made by this team member will appear in Google's Change History under the Adalysis admin user (account owner). This setting is useful when you want to keep the team permissions in Adalysis independent of those in Google Ads. In other words, team members don't need direct access to Google Ads accounts for them to be able to make changes to it in Adalysis.

  • Team member: Changes made by this team member will appear in Google's Change History under their own email address. The team member email address must also have access permission in Google Ads to the relevant account or MCC.

Please note: If a team member has access to an MCC in Google Ads, they must also be added at the MCC level in Adalysis. The access permissions in Adalysis and Google Ads must match exactly for this setting to work correctly.

With the above settings, and combined with account tags and filters, team leads can set up a flexible environment for their teams that supports collaboration while keeping responsibilities clear.

All enabled campaigns in your accounts will be linked. No paused campaigns are linked as no audit or analysis is done for them (unless this workaround is used).

Linking accounts that belong to different email addresses

If you have Google Ads accounts or MCCs under different email addresses, then you'll need one Adalysis account for each address. There's no extra charge for having multiple Adalysis accounts. Once combined for billing purposes, you simply pay one bill based on the total spend of all your Adalysis accounts.

To create a new Adalysis using another email address, simply start a new free trial. Once that's done, please combine the billing of the new Adalysis account as described here.


Please rest assured that we take privacy and security very seriously. We guarantee that:

  • Adalysis won't make any changes to your PPC account without your explicit permission.

  • It won't appear as a 'User' or 'Manager' of your PPC account. Only you will know that Adalysis has been connected.

account tags
Your starting point: the accounts overviews

When you log in to Adalysis, you'll be greeted by your accounts overviews. This is where you'll see summaries of the audit, performance, and budget recommendations for all your accounts. Check out the video on this page for more.

The audit results are summarized in the Audit view:

The budget data is summarized under the Budget view:

You'll find performance trends and alerts in the Performance view:

Combine columns you and your team need the most often in the custom view.

    Login email address

    Update your login email address at any time

    To change your login email address, go to My account.

    Adalysis uses the permissions of the admin user email address to access the API. This means it can see only the Google Ads accounts that are directly accessible with that email address.

    If the admin email address changes, the new admin user needs to re-grant Adalysis access for the API usage to remain uninterrupted.

    Ad groups with duplicate ads

    Alert name: Ad groups with duplicate ads

    Adalysis will alert you if you have duplicate ads in the same ad group. You'll see the alert under Ad groups on your Audit > Alerts screen. Click on it for a list of ad groups or to automatically pause lower-volume ads.

    Choose View duplicate ads to select and pause individual ad groups. You can also click on an ad group name to create a new ad.

    Alternatively, you can create ads for multiple ad groups at once. Simply select your ad groups and choose an option from the Tools > Create ads menu.

    Ad groups with too many keywords

    Alert name: Ad groups with too many keywords

    Adalysis will alert you to ad groups with more than 50 keywords. It's much harder to maintain the relevance of keywords to ads with such a large number of keywords. We would recommend splitting them into smaller, more focused ad groups.

    You'll see the alert under Ad groups on your Audit > Alerts screen. Click on it for a list of affected ad groups.

    Click on any ad group name to view its ads, and switch to Manage > Keywords to review the keywords.

    To split the keywords into smaller ad groups, select them individually or in bulk. The Move/Copy tools allow you to create more focused ad groups, with better ad relevance.

    You can also pause or delete keywords in bulk, by clicking on Status.

    You can change the number of keywords that trigger the alert under Audit > Settings > Ad groups.

    Google's own recommendations

    Alert name: Account has one or more Google recommendations

    Google may make some recommendations in your account, which it uses to calculate its Optimization score.

    Adalysis now alerts you to these recommendations and lets you dismiss them directly within Adalysis. Dismissing within Adalysis will also dismiss these recommendations in Google Ads directly i.e. it saves you having to do this in Google Ads.

    Contact email address

    Update your contact email address at any time

    User location targeting

    Alert name: Underperforming user location

    User location targeting controls whether your ad is shown to:

    1. Customers who are physically in your target location

    2. Customers who are in your target location, as well as customers who express an interest in that location. For example, if Chicago is your target location, this could be a user from outside Chicago searching for [keyword] in Chicago.

    If Adalysis detects a significant difference in the CPA of these two groups of customers, you'll see an alert. By default, a 25% difference in the last 30 days will trigger an alert.

    View the performance data straight from your alert to decide if you want to exclude users who aren't physically in your target location.

    You can also customize your alert under Audit > Settings > Campaigns.

    Disapproved keywords

    Alert name: Disapproved keywords

    Adalysis will alert you to any disapproved keywords. You'll see the alert under Keywords on your Audit > Alerts screen. Click on it for a list of affected keywords.

    1. You can see the disapproval reason by clicking the eye symbol.

    2. Select several keywords to pause them in bulk or delete them using the buttons at the top of the list.

    3. You can also fix individual keywords by clicking on the pencil icon:

    Text ads that are not fully approved

    Alert name: Text ads that are not fully approved

    Adalysis will alert you to any ads with Eligible Limited status in Google Ads. You'll see the alert under Ads on your Audit > Alerts screen. Click on the alert for a list of affected ads.

    Hover over the icon under Approval status to see the reasons for the limitations.

    Then, hover over your ad for the pencil icon and edit your ad.

    You can update your alert to automatically label the ads in Audit > Settings > Ads.

    Keywords with poor conversions

    Alert name: Keywords with poor conversions

    Adalysis will alert you to keywords that aren't converting well. By default, this is based on zero conversions and 150 clicks in the last 30 days.

    Go to Audit > Settings > Keywords to customize the alert thresholds.

    You'll see the alert under Keywords on your Audit > Alerts screen. You can then pause the keywords straight from the alert or click View keywords.

    Automatic text asset creation setting

    Alert name: Campaigns that have opted in to Google automatically creating your text assets

    Google automatically opts advertisers in for automatic text asset creation. This means that Google can adjust your ads without your direct input, giving you less control over your ad messaging.

    You'll see an alert in Adalysis (under Audit > Alerts > Campaigns) if Google is automatically creating ads or assets for your campaigns. Click on it for a list of affected campaigns.

    To opt out of this setting, you’ll need to update it directly in Google Ads:

    1

    Keywords with poor ad relevance (quality score)

    Alert name: Ad groups with poor relevance between keywords and ads

    Ad relevance is part of Google's quality score. Adalysis will alert you to high-volume keywords in an ad group with mixed relevance ratings — some above-average and some below-average. (We've defined high-volume as 100+ impressions in the last 30 days.)

    This is because it suggests the below-average keywords aren't as relevant to the ads as the above-average ones in that ad group. For example, if the below-average keywords include the word “agent” but the above-average ones don’t, this mismatch might explain the poor ad relevance.

    To improve relevance, move the below-average keywords into a different ad group and create more tailored ad copy.

    Viewing the ad groups and keywords

    You'll see the alert under

    Account auto-apply settings

    Alert name: Auto-apply settings are enabled

    When auto-apply settings are enabled, Google can make changes to your Ads account without notifying you. If Adalysis detects this, it will show an audit alert listing the enabled changes, like automatic RSA creation, switching keywords to broad match, or adjusting bids.

    Sometimes, the alert shows "various" if the specific settings aren’t visible via the API. Since these settings can’t be changed in Adalysis, you’ll need to update them directly in Google Ads:

    1. Open Recommendations > Auto apply in your Google Ads account.

    2. Uncheck any settings you don’t want applied automatically.

    Disapproved image ads

    Alert name: Disapproved image ads

    Adalysis alerts you to any disapproved image ads. You'll see the alert under Ads on your Audit > Alerts screen. Click on it for a list of affected ads.

    1

    View the disapproval reason

    Ads using unsecure URLs

    Alert names: Text ads with Final URLs that don't use secure landing pages, and Text ads with Mobile Final URLs that don't use secure landing pages

    Google Ads recommends using secure URLs. Adalysis will flag ads with a Final URL or a Mobile Final URL still uses http instead of https.

    You'll see the alert under Landing pages on your Audit > Settings screen. Click on the alert to see a list of affected ads, along with their URLs.

    Click on the alert to review the list of affected ads. Select the ads you want to update and click Switch to using secure URL. The Final URLs will be updated to start with https.

    You can set an

    High volume keywords with a quality score drop

    Alert name: High volume keywords with a quality score drop

    Adalysis will alert you to high-volume keywords with significant quality score drops. By default, this is based on 100+ impressions in the last seven days and a negative quality score trend. However, you can edit these thresholds in Audit > Settings > Keywords.

    You'll see the alert under Keywords on your Audit > Alerts screen. Click on it for a list of affected keywords and quality score data.

    The view will switch to the Manage > Keywords screen. Here you can review your expected clickthrough rate, ad relevance, and landing page experience to identify how to improve your results.

    For a full history of all quality score components, click the icon in the Quality score history column. This can help you to identify the reasons behind the drop.

    Ads with misspellings

    Alert names: RSA assets with spelling issues, and Text ads with spelling issues

    Adalysis uses AI to spell-check the ad text in RSAs, expanded DSAs, call-only ads, and Performance Max assets.

    We support spell-checking in most world languages. The language is automatically detected, which means you don't need to specify it manually.

    When a misspelling is detected, you'll see one of the following alerts under Audit > Alerts > Ads:

    • RSA assets with spelling issues

    • Text ads with spelling issues

    Campaigns without negative keywords

    Alert name: Search campaigns not using any negative keywords

    Negative keywords are one of the most effective ways to minimize irrelevant traffic to your website. Adalysis will alert you to campaigns without negative keywords.

    You'll see the alert under Negative keywords on your Audit > Alerts screen. Click on it for a list of affected campaigns.

    You can then add a negative keyword list straight from the alert, or add poorly performing search terms as negatives (see below).

    Add poorly converting search terms as negative keywords

    Onboarding a new account

    Suggested workflow to onboard a new account within Adalysis

    When linking a new account to Adalysis, it's likely you'll want to customize its settings.

    Automatically apply your preferred settings

    The easiest way to customize new accounts is the . All the settings you save in the template will appear automatically in the newly linked account without any further steps. These settings include:

    Broken URLs

    Alert name: Broken URLs

    Adalysis automatically checks your Final URLs and Mobile final URLs in ads, keywords, ad extensions, and asset groups once a week. We'll alert you if any URLs are broken.

    You'll see the alert under Landing pages on your Audit > Alerts screen. Click on it for a list of URLs and make any changes in the Edit URL column.

    Keywords with unsecure Final URL

    Alert name: Keywords using unsecure landing pages

    Google Ads recommends using secure URLs. Adalysis will flag keywords with a Final URL or a Mobile Final URL that still uses http instead of https.

    You'll see the alert under Landing pages on your Audit > Settings screen. Click on the alert to see a list of affected keywords, along with their URLs.

    Select the keywords you want to update and click Change keyword URL to secure one. The Final URLs will be updated to start with https.

    You can set an in Audit > Settings

    Ad groups with no ads

    Alert name: Ad groups with no active ads

    Adalysis will alert you to any ad groups that don't have active ads. You'll see the alert under Ad groups on your Audit > Alerts screen. Click on it to pause the affected ad groups in bulk or to see a list.

    From the list view, you can select ad groups and pause them with the Status menu.

    You can create ads for . Simply select your ad groups and choose an option from the Tools > Create ads menu.

    Alternatively, click an individual ad group name and create a single ad.

    Repeated ad group negative keywords

    Alert name: Repeatedly used ad group negative keywords

    Adalysis will alert you to negative keywords in multiple ad groups. Simplify your account maintenance by moving repeated negative keywords at the ad group level to the campaign level.

    You'll see the alert under Negative keywords on your Audit > Alerts screen. Click on it for a list of affected negative keywords.

    To resolve this alert, select the keywords and click Migrate negative keyword to campaign level. Adalysis will create new campaign-level negative keywords, and delete all repeated ad group negatives.

    You can move your negatives to the campaign level automatically under

    Keywords with potential for higher impression share

    Alert name: Keywords with potential for higher impression share

    Adalysis will alert you to keywords with a lower cost per conversion compared to their ad group. You'll see the alert under Keywords on your Audit > Alerts screen. Click on it for a list of affected keywords, with cost per conversion and impression share data.

    Important: We only consider keywords without bidding changes in the analyzed time frame. By default, Adalysis will check for keywords with a cost per conversion that's half of their ad group average, with an impression share below 70%.

    Data refresh frequency

    Learn how often your data is updated and how to run manual updates

    All data in Adalysis is updated daily (at around 4 am in the account's time zone) except for keywords, search terms, and landing pages, which are updated once a week.

    However, for the data that's refreshed weekly, you can run an on-demand update anytime by clicking the Last update button.

    Please note that only one refresh is possible per day.

    Ad groups with no keywords

    Alert name: Ad groups with no active keywords

    Adalysis will alert you to ad groups with no active keywords. (This excludes DSAs.) You'll see the alert under Ad groups on your Audit > Alerts screen. Click on it to pause ad groups in bulk or to see a list.

    Based on the list, you can also select and pause individual ad groups by updating their Status.

    You can create an to pause ad groups without keywords in Audit > Settings > Ad groups.

    Placements with poor conversions

    Alert names: New negative placements suggestions, including from aggregate campaign and account data

    Adalysis will alert you to placements that aren't converting well, so you can choose whether to exclude them and boost campaign performance.

    You'll see the alert under Placements on your Audit > Alerts screen. Click on it to view a list of affected placements or select an action.

    By default, the audit check is based on zero conversions and 100 clicks in the last 90 days. However, you can edit these thresholds in Audit > Settings > Placements.

    Poorly performing RSA assets

    Alert name: RSA assets with poor performance rating

    Adalysis will alert you if any of your active RSA assets (headlines or descriptions) has a poor performance label. You'll see the alert under Ads on your Audit > Alerts screen.

    Click on the alert for a list of affected assets. The view will switch to Manage > Ads.

    View asset details shows you which asset is performing poorly:

    Hover over your ad for the pencil icon. You can then replace this asset:

    Search partner traffic

    Alert name: Search partners traffic with a significantly higher CPA

    Google can show your search campaigns across two areas:

    1. Google Search: Ads appear on Google-owned properties like Google.com, Google.co.uk, and similar domains across countries and properties.

    2. Search Partners: Ads can appear on non-Google-owned and Google-affiliated sites, including YouTube, Google Local, directories, and other pages related to user searches.

    While some campaigns perform well on Search Partner sites, others may struggle due to ads being triggered on non-search sites, like directories displaying products. This can lead to lower performance compared to Google Search.

    Adalysis helps you track performance differences between Google Search and Search Partners. If your Search Partner data is significantly worse, you'll see an alert allowing you to disable the search partner network.

    Broken DSA landing pages

    Alert name: Broken DSA landing pages

    For expanded dynamic search ads (DSAs), Google will choose which landing pages on your site to drive traffic to. These landing pages aren't specified when creating the ads, as there are no final URLs in DSAs. A common issue is visitors being sent to broken landing pages.

    Adalysis will alert you to any broken DSA landing pages. You'll see the alert under Landing pages on your Audit > Alerts screen.

    You can either fix the broken page on your site or exclude that landing page from your campaign in Adalysis. This notifies the search engine to avoid driving traffic to that page.

    You can exclude pages individually or in bulk.

    Network targeting

    Alert name: Campaigns running on both Search and Display simultaneously

    The Search network consists of users actively searching for goods, services, and information. This clear intent allows your search ads to focus on presenting options and encouraging users to take action.

    The Display network is made of up publisher sites that show ads. The user's primary purpose on that page is to watch a video or read an article. Your ad must grab their attention and persuade them to visit your site.

    As the user intent and the networks are so different from each other, it's best to run your ads only on Search or only on the Display network.

    When you have a campaign running on both networks, you will see an alert under Campaigns on your Audit > Alerts screen. To change your settings, select the campaign(s) and click Run on the Search Network only.

    Wrong use of modified broad

    Alert names: Negative ad group keywords using modified broad, Negative campaign keywords using modified broad, and Negative list keywords using modified broad

    Adalysis will alert you if any of your negative keywords (at the list, campaign, or ad group level) use modified broad match. This match type isn't supported for negative keywords and can lead to inconsistent results.

    You'll see the alert under Negative keywords on your Audit > Alerts screen. Click on it for a list of affected negative keywords.

    To resolve this alert, simply select the keywords you want to change and click Fix match type.

    You can automate this fix under

    Paused campaigns workaround

    Learn how to analyze paused campaigns

    Paused campaigns are not included in any of the Adalysis audits or analysis. You can, however, follow the below steps to include them if needed.

    Assigning an Adalysis-specific label to those campaigns keeps them enabled only within Adalysis (while they remain paused in Google Ads).

    You'll need to first create a label called AdalysisKeepEnabled (case-sensitive) from the Manage > Labels screen.

    Disapproved RSA assets

    Alert name: Disapproved RSA assets

    Adalysis will alert you if any of your active RSA assets (headlines or descriptions) are disapproved. You'll see the alert under Ads on your Audit > Alerts screen.

    Click on the alert for a list of affected assets. View asset details shows you which asset is disapproved:

    Hover over your ad for the pencil icon. You can then replace the disapproved asset:

    • Your ads are being shown for new search terms that are less relevant than previous ones.

    • Changes in targeting mean the ads are reaching a less relevant audience.

    • Competition from other advertisers who have better ad copy and are winning more clicks.

    • Recent changes to the ad copy could have affected the ads' effectiveness.

    Keywords with a falling ROAS

    When enabled, broad match settings prevent the use of other match types in your campaigns. Turning this setting off gives you more control over your keyword targeting.

    Adalysis will show an alert under Audit > Alerts > Campaigns if you’re using the broad match keyword setting in your campaign. Click on it for a list of affected campaigns.

    Since the setting can't be changed via the API, you’ll need to update it directly in Google Ads.

    Ad groups with one ad

    Alert name: Ad groups with only one active ad

    Adalysis will alert you to any ad groups that only have one active ad. This is because it can't be included in automatic daily testing. An ad test needs at least two active ads to compare performance.

    You'll see the alert under Ad groups on your Audit > Alerts screen. Click on it for a list.

    You can create ads for . Simply select your ad groups and choose an option from the Tools > Create ads menu.

    Alternatively, click an individual ad group name and create a single ad.

    For example, if you manage an account with low traffic, you may want to receive keyword bid recommendations after 25, rather than 50 clicks. You may also want to consider data from the last 90 days as opposed to the last 30 days.

    Here's how you can customize an alert:

    Customized alerts have a grey Customized label in the audit settings. The updated settings will apply to all future alerts. Alerts already generated that day won’t update immediately.

    Popular customizations for prebuilt alerts

    Here are some of the most common changes Adalysis customers make to prebuilt alerts:

    • Duplicate search terms: minimum impressions (default: 50).

    • Underperforming keywords, segments, or search partner network traffic: minimum conversions and/or CPA.

    • New keyword suggestions from search terms: minimum conversions.

    • New negative keyword suggestions: minimum conversions and clicks.

    • Placement exclusions: maximum CPA.

    You can also enable automatic actions for an alert or save the updated setting in a global template to apply to future accounts.

    When saving your settings, you can choose to apply the changes to other linked accounts at the same time. This way, you don't have to repeat the process unnecessarily.

    Switch off unwanted alerts

    Not all alerts will be relevant to all accounts. For example, the alert about ad groups with only one ad might not be needed in some cases. To turn off an alert, simply switch the toggle next to its title in the list.

    Need an alert that isn't available yet? You can also create your own custom alerts with automatic actions.

    Customize prebuilt alerts

    You can find the alerts in Audit > Settings and the Prebuilt alert list. These alerts are active by default, but you can snooze or disable any that aren’t relevant to your workflow.

    Audit thresholds

    You can adjust many audit checks for your accounts and strategy. For example, with the Keywords with poor conversions alert, you can set your own thresholds for date range, click volume, and conversion volume.

    Global settings templates

    You can apply your updated alert settings to multiple accounts at once. We also recommend creating a global settings template, so any future accounts you connect will follow the same audit rules.

    Create custom alerts

    If there are specific audit checks your team relies on that aren’t covered by the prebuilt alerts, you can build your own. Custom alerts let you tailor the audit process even further to your agency’s strategy and priorities. Here are some common examples:

    • Campaign CPA or ROAS trending in the wrong direction

    • Budget increases when a performance threshold is crossed

    • Keywords failing to meet minimum performance thresholds

    You can also add automatic actions and notifications to your custom alerts.

    Duplicate search terms

    Alert names: Duplicate search terms within a search campaign, and Duplicate search terms within a shopping campaign

    Adalysis will alert you if search terms have been shown from two or more ad groups. This is an opportunity to improve your ad serving control.

    You'll see the alerts under Search terms on your Audit > Alerts screen, with separate notifications for Search and Shopping campaigns.

    Find duplicate search terms

    Click on the alert to see sets of duplicate terms, as well as the cannibalization rate. This indicates how significantly the impressions for a search term are diluted across different ad groups. The higher the cannibalization rate, the more attention you should pay to those terms.

    Then, click on a search term to view the affected ad groups or choose Expand all.

    Duplicate search terms are reported at the campaign level only (not the account level).

    By default, the alerts are based on a minimum of 50 impressions in the last 90 days. However, you can edit these thresholds in Account > Settings > Search terms.

    Fix duplication issues

    To resolve this issue, add search terms as negatives to the less relevant/efficient ad groups. As well as performance metrics, we recommend looking at these three columns:

    Added as keyword?

    For Search campaigns, this column shows if the keyword already exists in this ad group. Hover over Yes for the keyword match type. If the search term hasn't been added to any of the ad groups yet, click the plus icon next to the most relevant ad group.

    Matched keywords

    This column shows you which keywords and ads were triggered for the search term, as well as performance and quality score data. The data can help you decide whether to add the search term as a negative keyword to any of the ad groups it was triggering.

    Add as negative

    Click the icon in the Add as negative keyword column to add the search terms to your negative keyword list. This opens a preview.

    By default, the chosen search terms will be added as exact-match negative keywords at the ad group level. However, you can change the match type and level as needed. Once your negative keyword list is ready, click Add negative keywords.

    Adalysis will also alert you to potential conflicts between negative and regular keywords in an ad group (in the same match type). Click the ad group name to remove the conflicting keywords.

    Resolve duplicate search terms in bulk

    You can also add duplicate search terms as negative keywords in bulk.

    1. Select your duplicate sets and click Add as a negative keyword the duplicate search term.

    2. Select your preferred criteria. For example, you may want to add your new negative keywords to ad groups with the lowest CTR or fewest conversions.

    Shared negative keywords at the campaign level

    Alert name: Sets of search campaigns using common campaign negative keywords

    Adalysis will alert you to negative keywords shared by multiple campaigns. Avoid a potential impact on your impression share by creating a single negative keyword list.

    You'll see the alert under Negative keywords on your Audit > Alerts screen. Click on it for details.

    1. Details of campaigns and common negative keywords: click the icon for a list of campaigns and shared negative keywords.

    2. To reorganize negative keywords into a shared list, select one of two options: – Create a new list – Use an existing list

    After you've added the keywords to your chosen list, they'll be applied automatically to the campaigns.
