These Google Ads scripts do various things to your ads that would otherwise require you to do them manually. By utilizing these scripts, you can spend less time doing the boring stuff and more time on the changes that will get you results.
But before we look at the best Google Ads scripts, what exactly are they and how do they work?
What Are Google Ads Scripts?
For those that haven’t come into contact with Google Ads scripts before, these scripts can sound confusing and sometimes scary. But rest assured, these scripts won’t do anything harmful to your ads if you use them correctly, in fact, they’ll actually improve your campaigns and save you time.
At a basic level, the scripts are just code that can be easily pasted into Google Ads and do a range of helpful things.
This can be anything from pausing ads with low click-through rates to increasing bids on cheap conversion keywords.
Anyone can create a Google Ads script; you just need some programming knowledge and an idea of what you want the script to do. Because of this, there are literally hundreds of free Google Ads scripts available online with new ones being made all the time.
The chances are if you have a task that you want automated, then someone has probably already made a script for it.
Now you understand what a Google Ads script does, what do they look like and how do you make one?
Google Ads Scripts Examples
If you’ve never seen a Google Ads script before then don’t worry, they’re not as scary as they sound.
To understand how these scripts work, here’s an example of a one that you can paste into your Google Ads account right now.
function main() { var THE_VALUE_OF_ONE_CONVERSION = 10; var DECREASE_BIDS_BY_PERCENTAGE = .5; var kw_iter = AdWordsApp.keywords() .withCondition("Status = ENABLED") .get(); while (kw_iter.hasNext()) { var kw = kw_iter.next(); var kw_stats = kw.getStatsFor("LAST_30_DAYS"); var cost = kw_stats.getCost(); var conversions = kw_stats.getConversions(); if (conversions == 0) { if (THE_VALUE_OF_ONE_CONVERSION * 5 > cost) { kw.pause(); } else if (THE_VALUE_OF_ONE_CONVERSION * 2 > cost) { kw.setMaxCpc(kw.getMaxCpc() * (1 - DECREASE_BIDS_BY_PERCENTAGE)); } } else { //no conversions on this keyword //we will deal with that later continue; } } }
If you don’t have any programming experience, then this probably looks pretty confusing, but don’t worry, you don’t need to understand what every line does. This script actually pauses keywords that are underperforming based on certain metrics which in this case is the value of one conversion. If the value of one conversion multiplied by 5 is greater than the cost then the ad is paused.
Now you’ve got a good idea of what a Google Ads script looks like, here are some of our favorites from around the web.
