What this template does

This template runs the Google Ads agent through a structured account checkup. It reads campaigns, ad groups, keywords, ads, assets, search terms and conversion actions, then looks for the problems that most often sit unnoticed in an account: conversion actions that stopped recording, campaigns limited by budget while others underspend, disapproved or low-strength ads, keyword conflicts with negatives, search terms burning budget with no conversions, and settings that drifted from the goal.

Every finding comes with the number behind it and a proposed fix. Fixes that can be made through the API, such as adding negatives, pausing a keyword or moving budget, are staged in a review card; nothing changes until you approve. Say "Analyze my Meta Ads account" instead and the Meta agent runs the same kind of check on pixels, ad set delivery, frequency and creative fatigue.

Schedule it as a weekly Autopilot and the check repeats on its own, so a broken conversion tag or a runaway search term is caught within days instead of at the end of the quarter.

Inputs and outputs

What you provide

  • A connected Google Ads account (or a Meta ad account for the Meta variant)
  • The goal the account is run toward: leads, sales, calls or sign-ups, with a target CPA or ROAS if you have one
  • Optional: which campaigns to focus on, or a date range to compare against

What you get

  • A health report grouped by severity: tracking, delivery, waste, structure and creative
  • Conversion tracking status per action, with any action that has stopped recording flagged
  • Campaigns limited by budget, campaigns underspending, and the reallocation that fits the goal
  • Search terms and keywords spending without converting, with negatives ready to add
  • Disapproved ads, ads with poor ad strength and ad groups running a single ad
  • Each fix staged as an approvable change in your account

How it runs

  1. Step 1

    Read the account

    Sprites pulls the account structure, settings, conversion actions and the last weeks of performance through the official Google Ads API. Nothing is written at this stage.

  2. Step 2

    Check tracking first

    Conversion actions are checked for recent activity and counting settings. An account optimizing to a conversion that stopped firing is the most expensive fault, so it is reported before anything else.

  3. Step 3

    Find the waste

    Search terms, keywords, placements and ad groups are ranked by spend without conversions. Match type drift and keyword conflicts with existing negatives are listed with the affected campaigns.

  4. Step 4

    Review delivery and creative

    Budget-limited campaigns, campaigns that never spend, disapproved ads, low ad strength and single-ad ad groups are flagged with what each one is costing you.

  5. Step 5

    Stage the fixes

    Negatives, pauses, budget moves and status changes are prepared as a review card. You edit or drop any line and approve the rest. Structural changes that need a rebuild are written up as a plan.

  6. Step 6

    Repeat on a schedule

    Turn the check into a weekly Autopilot so the same report lands every Monday with new findings staged for approval.

Frequently asked questions

What does the ad account health check actually look at?

+

Conversion tracking, budget pacing, disapproved and weak ads, keyword and search-term waste, negative keyword conflicts, campaign settings and account structure. Each finding is reported with the spend or conversions it affects, so you can see what matters most before approving a fix.

Does it work for Meta ads as well as Google Ads?

+

Yes. The template runs on Google Ads by default. Send "Analyze my Meta Ads account" and the Meta agent checks pixel and event setup, ad set delivery, frequency, creative fatigue and audience issues, with fixes staged the same way.

Will Sprites change anything in my account without asking?

+

No. The check is read-only. Every proposed fix is staged as a change you approve line by line, and only then is it applied through the official API. You can also run the report and make the changes yourself.

Does it monitor billing or send real-time alerts?

+

No. This is a scheduled account audit, not a monitoring service. Run it on demand or as a weekly Autopilot; the report lands in your workspace with new findings and staged fixes. Billing problems are handled in the ad platform itself.

Can I run the health check from Claude or ChatGPT?

+

Yes. Connect Sprites through its official MCP server and ask for the account check from Claude, ChatGPT, Grok or any MCP-compatible assistant. The same integrations and approval gates apply.

Is this a replacement for an agency audit?

+

For most accounts, yes. An agency audit is a document; this template finds the same issues and stages the fixes for approval in your account, then repeats weekly. Teams use it to run the account in-house without the retainer.
