- How do I add Adako to Gemini?
- Open Gemini’s apps settings on a computer, choose Add a custom app under Custom apps and paste the Adako MCP URL. Sign in to Adako and accept Google’s notice about third-party MCP servers, then connect Google Ads on the Adako Accounts page. In a chat, type @ and pick Adako so the prompt reaches it.
- Can I use a personal Gemini with a Google Ads account on my work login?
- Yes. Gemini signs in to Adako, and Adako connects to Google Ads with a separate grant, given on the Adako Accounts page with whichever Google login can reach the ads. Google offers custom apps on personal Google Accounts, not on work or school ones, so the two logins are often different.
- Why is there no Custom apps section in my Gemini?
- Google is rolling custom apps out gradually. Its listed conditions are a personal Google Account with Keep Activity on, in English, in the United States, and aged 18 or over. If the section is missing, the same Adako URL works in Claude, ChatGPT and other clients.
- Can an AI agent create Google Ads campaigns?
- Yes. With Adako connected, your assistant can build a Search or Performance Max campaign end to end: keywords, ad groups, responsive search ads, locations, budget and bid strategy. It is created PAUSED, so nothing spends until you open Google Ads and turn it on. The research and validation steps are free reads; the create itself costs one task.
- Is it safe to let an AI agent change my Google Ads account?
- Every change is a proposal first: a summary, a field-level diff of the exact fields that move, and the expected impact. Nothing reaches Google until you approve it, it then runs exactly once, and Adako reads the object back so you see what Google actually stored. Reads change nothing and run immediately.
- How does Adako find wasted spend in Google Ads?
- It pulls the search terms report for the period you name, keeps the terms with no conversions that spent at least a threshold (by default the cost of 10 average clicks in your account), totals that spend, and proposes a negative keyword for each with a match type and a reason. The whole audit is a read, so it costs nothing on any plan.
- Which Google Ads campaign types does Adako support?
- It reads every campaign type in the account, including Display and Shopping. It creates Search and Performance Max campaigns, both paused. For a type it cannot create, it says so rather than guessing.
- Does Adako use the official Google Ads API?
- Yes. Adako talks to the official Google Ads API with your own OAuth grant, paced within Google’s limits. It never automates the Google Ads web interface, and you can disconnect the platform on the Accounts page at any time.
