Skill Content

## Goal Pull the search-terms report, identify spend that isn't producing, group it intelligently, and add negatives at the right level — without nuking legitimate intent. ## Inputs to confirm (batch) 1. Account name (substring) — required. 2. Scope — single campaign, list of campaigns, or "all Search campaigns" — required. 3. Lookback — default 30 days; user can override (60 / 90). 4. Waste thresholds — defaults; allow override: - **No-converter**: spend ≥ $X over lookback AND 0 conversions. Default $X = 2× target CPA, or $50 if no target. - **Low-CVR offender**: spend ≥ 3× target CPA AND CVR < 25% of account CVR. - **Off-brand / off-intent**: terms that match a denylist of words (e.g. `free`, `jobs`, `careers`, `tutorial`, `review`, `salary`, `download`, `cheap`, `pirate`, `crack`) — calibrated to vertical. 5. Negative scope preference — default behavior: - Recurring junk seen across multiple campaigns → **account-level shared negative list**. - Waste seen only in one campaign → **campaign-level**. - Single-theme misintent (e.g. "free" only hurts a paid product ad group) → **ad-group-level**. - Default match type: **phrase**, except for single-word obvious junk → **broad** isn't an option (negatives have no broad), so use **exact** for single tokens like `free`. ## Workflow 1. **Discover** ops: `gads_select_accounts`, `gads_list_report_fields`, `gads_get_report`, `gads_create_negative_keyword_list`, `gads_attach_negative_list_to_campaigns`, `gad...

negative-keyword-builder

Turns wasted search queries into an approval-ready negative keyword list — picks the right match type, groups queries into single phrase negatives using n-gram analysis, and safety-checks every proposal against converting queries before recommending it. Use whenever someone mentions negative keywords, blocking bad searches, match types for negatives, "stop showing for X", building an exclusion list, or already has a set of wasted queries to turn into exclusions, on Google Ads, Microsoft Ads, or Amazon Ads. If it has not yet been established which queries are wasted, run search-term-miner first.

negative-keyword-engine

The single skill for all Google Ads negative keyword and search term work, with three modes: Audit (find wasted spend in a search terms report), Leakage (find systematic gaps in existing negative lists), and Mine (proactively build a comprehensive negative list for new campaigns or overhauls). Use this skill whenever the user wants to analyze, audit, or clean up search terms, find wasted ad spend, identify irrelevant queries, build or expand a negative keyword list, audit their negatives, or asks anything like "why is my CPA bad", "where is my budget leaking", "review my search terms", "what negatives should I add", "what should I be blocking", "negative keyword gaps", or uploads a Google Ads search terms report (CSV/Excel). Trigger even when the user doesn't say "negative keywords" explicitly: any request involving search terms data, PPC waste reduction, or blocking irrelevant traffic qualifies.
