Introduction to AdWords Scripts
• Based on the popular JavaScript language.
• Allows you to customize code to automatically
make changes or pull data.
• Used for:
– Reporting
– Bid/Budget Changes
– New Ads and Ad Groups
– And so much more.

Where to Find AdWords Scripts
#thinkppc

9.
Script #1: Create a New Text Ad
• Original Script
• Ads are pretty standard and are a great place
to start automation.
• This could save you anywhere from 15
minutes to an hour.
• Additionally, you can use scripts to tag your
URLs with custom parameters.
#thinkppc

10.
What Changes?
• Instead of using an ad group, lets select by
campaign.
• Better yet, for those of us who love using
labels, we can sort by those too.
• This will require us to change our selector
near the top of the script.
#thinkppc

11.
Script #2: Add New Metrics to the Keyword
Performance Report
• Original Script
• This script pulls keyword data and segments it
by quality score and average position.
• This shows how performance varies as these
metrics change.
• This will save you 15 minutes over completing
the task manually in excel. Better yet, you can
run it as many times as you want in the future.
#thinkppc

12.
What Changes?
• First, we need to change our header settings
in the file. If we don’t add additional columns,
our data won’t have anywhere to go.
• Second we need to calculate and grab the new
data, conversions and conversion rate.
#thinkppc

13.
Script #3: Campaign Copier
• Copies the content of one campaign into
another campaign.
• This can save a few minutes to hours,
especially for very large campaigns or those
that require a lot of changes.
• Example uses, splitting campaigns out into
different match types and labeling ad groups.
#thinkppc

14.
What Changes?
• Like the ad creator, we will change the
selector.
• Second, we will make use to labels to let us
know what parts have been successfully
copied. This is very helpful for large
operations.
#thinkppc

15.
Script #4: Pause Ad Groups with Declining Stats
• Original Script
• This script pauses an ad group based on the past
three weeks of data. If metrics continue to
decline over time, the script pauses the ad group.
• This can save you time by automatically removing
poor performing parts of your account.
• This can save over 30 minutes in any week,
depending on the size of the account.
#thinkppc

16.
What Changes?
• CTR is great but what about conversions, the
ultimate goal?
• If my traffic continues to rise but I’m not
getting conversions, I’m just wasting money.
• Let’s set up a system to check in on
conversions and pause those groups as
needed.
#thinkppc

17.
What Else is Possible?
• Create reports using Google Spreadsheets and
Google Charts.
• Automate simple account checks for major
performance changes.
• Customizable bid rules.
• You can get very adventurous and automate
keyword mining in SQR’s using AWQL.
