[Google Ads Script] New converting search terms alert

Fellow Dutch PPC friend Geert Groot showed absolute magic in a post on LinkedIn yesterday. Without any scripting knowledge, he was able to use ChatGPT to create this script for us.

[Google Ads Script] Alerts for new converting search terms

What it does: This script looks at the search term report and sends an email with converting search terms that aren’t yet added as keywords in your account.

Why you care: Adding converting search terms as keywords to your account allows for…

  1. higher CTR and improved quality score (especially when you are using Dynamic Keyword Insertion)
  2. higher quality clicks from your broad match keywords (because broad matching takes other keywords in the ad group into account)
  3. more relevant impressions, more converting clicks

Back in the days when Hagakure was a thing in account structures, I created sort of a similar script. My script automatically adds the converting search terms to the most relevant ad group before it sends a report. I still use it today, with great success, for many of my setups. 

If you’re interested in adding that functionality, just ask ChatGPT to assist you. 🙂

Happy scripting!
