Here’s a message that popped up in one of my clients’ accounts\u00a0on Friday late afternoon<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“Your ads have stopped running – You reached your monthly account spend limit. To get your ads running again, increase your ad spend”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The client hires me to advertise his products.

But… the ads stopped running… and could potentially not have been running for the whole weekend!

Luckily, I have my ‘account down alert’ script monitoring my accounts on an hourly basis.\u00a0

Without it, I wouldn\u2019t have caught the issue until my client called me on Monday, raging about the revenue drop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s what saved me:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to the script, I was able to notify the client and fix the issue before the Friday beers were poured\u00a0\ud83c\udf7b<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PHEW…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THE SCRIPT: <\/strong>
Account Down Alerts for both individual Client Accounts and Google Ads Manager (MCC) Accounts <\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHAT IT DOES:<\/strong>
The script checks your account(s) every hour, and if an account is down, it will send you an alert via email, SMS, and WhatsApp. You can configure the number of alerts per account you want to receive per day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a thank you for being a loyal subscriber, I am offering an exclusive $100 discount for the first 20 buyers<\/strong> of the script. Be among the first to grab this deal before it\u2019s gone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
