​

Import a GA4 key event

​

Update an existing action

Safe sequence

• Prepare the exact settings.
• Create, import, or update one action.
• Validate measurement data before making it primary.
• Read the action back and confirm the live settings.

​

Examples

​

Common failures

• A conversion action with the same purpose already exists.
• The GA4 property is not linked to the Google Ads account.
• The GA4 event is not marked as a key event.
• The event name is ambiguous across linked properties and no property ID was provided.
• The requested field is not editable for that action type or origin.
• The connected Google user lacks permission to make the change.
• The tag or offline upload pipeline has not been implemented; creating the action alone does not solve measurement.

​

Daily ops audit

​

What it checks

• Campaigns that stopped serving even though they are enabled.
• Spend spikes or drops against the recent baseline.
• Campaign and shared-budget pacing.
• Coverage gaps or partial results that may make a finding incomplete.

​

Defaults

• Audit date: yesterday in the Google Ads account time zone.
• Campaign scope: enabled campaigns. Paused campaigns can be included; removed campaigns are excluded.
• Baseline: the previous 14 days.
• Spend spike threshold: at least 1.5 times the baseline.
• Spend drop threshold: at most 0.5 times the baseline.
• Pacing thresholds: above 1.5 times or below 0.5 times expected pacing.
• Minimum baseline activity: 1 unit of account currency in average daily cost and 10 average daily impressions.
• Inline findings: 25 by default; set 1–100.
• CSV link lifetime: 30 minutes by default; set 1–1,440 minutes.

​

What it does not check

​

Example

Run the daily operations audit for customer 123-456-7890 for yesterday. Check enabled campaigns only. Show the most urgent delivery and pacing findings, include the comparison baseline, and do not make changes.

​

Limits and failure cases

• The audit never writes to Google Ads.
• A shared budget is evaluated as a group, so the result may not assign all pacing pressure to one campaign.
• Newly launched or very low-volume campaigns may not have enough baseline activity to classify a spike or drop.
• If Google Ads returns only part of the requested data, treat the audit as partial and review the coverage notes.
• Download links expire. Rerun the audit if a CSV link has expired.

​

Weekly optimization audit

​

Default windows and thresholds

• Performance window: the last 7 days.
• Comparison: the immediately preceding period of equal length.
• Search-term lookback: 30 days, excluding the most recent 3 days to allow for reporting and conversion lag.
• Negative-keyword candidate: fewer than 1 conversion, at least 3 clicks, and no minimum-spend requirement unless you set one.
• New-keyword candidate: at least 1 conversion.
• Keyword review: at least 10 clicks.
• Target CPA: optional. If omitted, HireOtto can use the account CPA when the account has at least 5 conversions in the selected period.
• High-CPA threshold: 1.5 times the target or account CPA.
• RSA review: at least 100 impressions; low CTR is 75% or less of the ad group CTR.
• Campaign performance drop: current conversions at 50% or less of the comparison period.
• Detailed rows: 500 per detailed query by default; set 25–5,000.
• Inline findings: 50 by default; set 1–200.
• CSV link lifetime: 30 minutes by default; set 1–1,440 minutes.

​

What it can surface

• Campaigns with material changes in spend, conversions, CPA, or search impression share.
• Search terms that may belong on a negative list.
• Converting search terms that may deserve their own keyword.
• Manual CPC keywords that may need a bid review.
• Disapproved or low-CTR responsive search ads.
• Findings that need more evidence before a marketer acts.

​

Example

Run the weekly optimization audit for customer 123-456-7890. Compare the last 7 days with the previous 7 days. Use the default search-term lag, rank the findings by severity, and separate Act, Investigate, and Monitor items. Do not change the account.

​

Limits and failure cases

• Candidate means review, not automatic action. Check intent, conversion lag, sample size, match type, lead quality, and business context before approving a change.
• A search-term row can be absent because of Google Ads privacy thresholds or reporting limits.
• If the account has fewer than 5 conversions and no target CPA is supplied, CPA-based classifications may be limited.
• Partial results and row limits appear in the coverage notes. Increase limits or narrow the scope when important entities are missing.
• The audit never writes to Google Ads.

​

Account health audit

​

Defaults

• Review window: the last 90 days.
• Comparison: the immediately preceding 90 days.
• RSA copy review: off by default.
• Detailed checklist: off by default.
• Keyword rows: 5,000 by default; set 100–20,000.
• Ad rows: 1,000 by default when RSA copy review is enabled; set 100–5,000.
• Inline findings: 100 by default; set 1–300.
• CSV link lifetime: 30 minutes by default; set 1–1,440 minutes.

​

What it reviews

• Auto-tagging and conversion-tracking readiness visible in Google Ads.
• Search and display network settings.
• Location targeting mode and language targeting.
• Keyword count by ad group, match-type mix, Quality Score, and Quality Score components.
• Negative-keyword coverage.
• Geographic and device performance.
• Search impression share lost to budget or rank.
• Optional RSA counts, copy review, and pinning patterns.

​

Example

Run an account health audit for customer 123-456-7890. Compare the last 90 days with the previous 90 days. Include the detailed checklist and RSA review. Return the highest-severity risks first and do not make changes.

​

Limits and failure cases

• The audit can only evaluate data available through the connected Google Ads account. It does not know CRM lead quality, competitor activity, landing-page experiments, or offline business context unless you provide that context separately.
• Enabling RSA copy review increases the amount of ad data requested and can make large-account audits slower or more likely to return partial coverage.
• A missing signal is not always a broken setup. Confirm account structure, measurement design, and campaign intent before changing anything.
• Review coverage notes whenever limits, permissions, or Google Ads reporting restrictions exclude part of the account.
• The audit never writes to Google Ads.

​

Google Search Console

Connect my Google Search Console account.

​

What you can do

• List Search Console properties available to your connected Google account
• Pull organic query reports
• Review page performance
• Break down results by country, device, date, hour, or search appearance
• Export Search Console data to CSV
• Check whether a URL is indexed in Google

​

Example prompts

​

Common access, output, and safety rules

• Account access: HireOtto only sees Google Ads accounts available to the Google identity you connect. The user’s Google Ads role determines whether a write can succeed.
• Customer IDs: use the ten-digit customer ID without guessing. Manager-account access does not remove the need to target the intended client account.
• Audit access: daily operations, weekly optimization, and account health audits are Agency-plan features and are always read-only.
• Search Console: Search Console tools require separate authorization and remain read-only.
• Inline and CSV output: large results may be summarized inline and returned as a downloadable CSV. CSV links expire; rerun the request to create a fresh link.
• Partial coverage: API limits, row limits, permissions, privacy thresholds, and unavailable metrics can produce partial results. Read the coverage notes before acting.
• Validation: Google Ads can reject writes because of account state, entity state, field compatibility, date rules, policy, or permissions. Correct the request and retry only after reviewing the error.
• Verification: for consequential changes, ask HireOtto to show the current value, proposed value, customer ID, and entity IDs; wait for approval; apply one class of change; then read the live value back.
• Pricing and credits: availability and credit use depend on the active HireOtto plan. Check the current pricing page before promising access.
