Don't see the purpose of keeping this tool with its limitations
So.. Yeah there's some decent features and can help with getting ideas for ads quicker but you have to manually copy and paste into your google ads account. I thought this tool would allow you to create ads and automatically update to your G ads account but that's not the case. You can create ads here but you have to publish manually via ads editor.
Everything you do costs credits. Credits are not lifetime but one time. I may have a good year using this but after a year this will be no use for me. This does quicken the ad process but it's primarily for search ads.

Dec 12, 2024Hey there.
Sorry that the tool didn't do as you hoped. I do want to clarify a couple of things, however, as what you said is incorrect.
There are only a couple of things that require credits. They are things that use either the SEMRush API (which is a very expensive API if you've ever worked with it, but one of the best for PPC data) and a few of the things that require AI models to run that are expensive.
However, the reality is you don't need to use those things and very few people have exceeded the number of credits that are in their allocation. Even if they do, they can just buy one-time credits.
To cover off on your statement about uploading directly into Google, this is deliberate for two reasons.
Serious search advertisers don't want another company connecting to their MCC via an API as they then get access to all their data. We deliberately put a wall in between via Google Ads Editor.
Secondly, most people need the GAE guardrails so they don't blow out their accounts. New accounts often only get 10,000 keyword limits. Using GAE, you can check everything locally, and then when you are ready to deploy, you deploy once. If you do an API sync, then everything is in your account and is way harder to manage than when it's in GAE.
I hope that clarifies things.
