To configure your email and Slack notifications, choose Settings > Notifications from the bottom-left menu.

Here you can:

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

• Amend the email address that will receive the notifications.

• Connect a Slack channel.

• Choose how often you'd like to receive audit alert summaries.

• Toggle daily notifications for critical alerts.

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 account filters 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.

Once a tag is associated with an account (as shown above) you can filter for all accounts with that specific tag.

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.

How to add a Google Ads account to Adalysis

You can link accounts from the Audit & budget or the multi-account Performance view. Click the link icon on either screen. This applies both during the free trial or for paid subscriptions.

How to link Microsoft Ads accounts to Adalysis

Switch to Microsoft Ads in the top-left corner of the Adalysis screen and link your accounts as described above.

How to link 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 it's finished, please combine the billing of the new Adalysis account as described here.

How to unlink accounts from Adalysis

You can unlink accounts from the Audit & budget or the multi-account Performance view. Select the accounts you no longer want to see in Adalysis and click the unlink icon on either screen.

To see your account changes, go to Settings > Change history in the bottom-left menu:

Google Ads change history shows changes made in Google Ads.

To see your Microsoft Ads change history, first switch platforms in the top-right menu.

Notes in Adalysis help you stay organized by recording reminders or context for team members. Notes can be added at the account level, or individual entity level.

Account-level notes

Access Notes from the bottom-left menu.

Account notes can be disabled for a period of time before they become active again to act as reminders.

Entity-level notes

Notes can also be added to campaigns, ad groups, or ads. These notes are accessible on the relevant screens and also appear under Notes for easy reference.

To change your login email address, go to the below menu item:

You can update your contact email under Settings > Notifications.

Daily refresh

Adalysis updates its data daily, at around 4 am in the account's time zone. This happens regardless of whether it's a weekend or holiday.

Weekly refresh

The data for keywords, search terms, and landing pages is updated once a week by default.

However, you can refresh your data for these categories anytime by clicking the Last update button in the Manage screen for each of those categories.

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).

Scenario 1 — Campaign is paused after it was linked to Adalysis

1. Enable the campaign within Adalysis and assign the label AdalysisKeepEnabled to it.

2. Pause the campaign in Google Ads.

Scenario 2 — Paused campaign isn't yet linked to Adalysis

1. Enable the campaign in Google Ads.

2. Switch to the Campaigns screen in Adalysis and click Link missing campaigns. The campaign should now appear in Adalysis.

3. Assign the label AdalysisKeepEnabled to the campaign. .

4. Pause the campaign in Google Ads.

The first step when adding a new account to Adalysis is to link it. If you already have preferred Adalysis settings, it's likely you'll then want to customize it.

Automatically apply your preferred settings

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

• Performance monitors

• Customized prebuilt alerts (and associated automatic actions)

• Disabled prebuilt alerts

Manually copy your preferred settings

You can also apply your existing settings to the new account as follows:

Performance monitors: To copy an existing monitor to a new account, navigate to the existing account, open its performance monitors and use the option below.

Prebuilt audit settings: To copy a customized prebuilt alert to a new account, navigate to that account setting in the existing account. Click Save changes and you'll have the option to save the setting to your new account:

Next: Your audit workflow

Adalysis works best when it’s configured to match your goals. This guide shows you where to start and what to customize first.

Audit

Customize your prebuilt alerts

Adalysis offers over 100 prebuilt audit checks. Customizing their settings makes them more relevant and reduces unnecessary notifications.

View your alerts under Audit > Audit alerts and edit them under Prebuilt:

We recommend starting with the search terms audit checks under Prebuilt > Search terms, as these are the most important to customize.

• Keyword suggestions from search terms

• Negative keyword suggestions from search terms

• Duplicate search terms

Here’s how to customize the audit criteria:

You can change the defaults by updating the current figures, such as conversions. Select +Add another to add more criteria, like CPA or ROAS.

Create your own alerts

If the condition you want to track isn't covered by our 100+ prebuilt audit alerts, you can create your own custom alerts under Audit > Alert settings > Custom.

Enable auto-resolve settings

Resolve straightforward alerts automatically and save valuable time by enabling the automatic actions within each audit alert definition.

Here are some popular automatic actions:

• Automatically add highly converting search terms as keywords

• Automatically add poorly converting search terms as negative keywords

• Exclude underperforming display placements

Share customized settings across accounts

Apply your settings to other linked accounts

Whenever you customize an audit alert, you can apply the same changes to other accounts currently linked to Adalysis.

Apply your settings to future accounts

To apply a customized audit setting to accounts you'll link in the future, save it as a global setting by checking the box below.

You can manage global settings under Audit > Audit settings > Global.

Performance monitoring

Create your own performance monitors

Performance monitors help you track trends and spot significant changes without spreadsheets or scripts. We would strongly recommend customizing them for your account and campaigns.

On the Performance view, click on the number in the High priority or Standard priority performance monitors column. Both types work in the same way, but the split lets you highlight your most important KPIs.

A performance monitor triggers a performance alert when the condition is met. The alerts will show up in the two columns next to the monitors.

Each new account has five standard monitors by default. You can customize them, add more or remove monitors as needed.

When creating a new monitor, enter your own conditions or start with a template:

Share monitors across accounts

Apply your monitors to other linked accounts

Whenever you create or customize a monitor, you can apply the same changes to other accounts currently linked to Adalysis.

Apply your monitors to future accounts

To apply a monitor to accounts you'll link in the future, save it as a global monitor on the Performance view:

Budget

Budget pacing

Get access to automated pacing and alerts when you define your target budget under Budget > Manage.

You can also track the spend, pacing, and performance for sets of campaigns with budget groups.

Auto manage

The Auto manage tool reviews daily spend and recalculates the ideal daily budget values, based on your goals. This means no more manual monitoring or changes.

You can enable the Auto manage tool when setting your target budget. Choose the most relevant performance goal for your account, and the days of the week when budget changes can be made. Then, update the max budget adjustment percentage before saving.

Other core account settings

• Adding team members

• Linking accounts

• Notifications

You can find your team settings under Settings > Team.

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:

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.
