What google-ads-audit does

This tool inspects 30-day performance using direct GAQL queries, produces an overall score out of 100, and isolates financial leaks. When Microsoft Ads is connected, it runs a side-by-side evaluation without merging budget totals. It also confirms recorded conversions against actual store orders from Shopify, WooCommerce, or GA4 events.

The audit flags active campaigns that consume over 5% of the total budget without a single conversion. It also pinpoints bidding strategies like Target CPA running on fewer than 15 conversions per month, where algorithmic learning fails.

Running this check requires an active Cogny Agent subscription at $9/mo and the HTTP endpoint https://app.cogny.com/mcp inside .mcp.json. Without that connection, execution halts immediately.

What it helps with

  • detect campaigns spending over 5% of budget with zero conversions
  • identify automated bid strategies starved of conversion volume
  • verify conversion action configurations against actual 30-day firing data
  • cross-check reported ad revenue against real Shopify or WooCommerce orders

Example prompts for the agent

  • /google-ads-audit
  • /google-ads-audit campaigns
  • /google-ads-audit negatives
