Start here

Dashboard

Open page

Your starting point: the state of your Google Ads account and website at a glance, and what to do next.

  1. Check the Google Ads and Website cards — both should be connected and analyzed.
  2. Work through "What to do next" from the top.
  3. Open the AI Command Center for anything that needs attention.

Data refreshes automatically; you don't need to sync by hand.

Things Gexad noticed

Facts Gexad checked in your Google Ads account and website. Red ones first — click a row to see what it means and what to do.

Waiting for you

Improvements Gexad found in your account. Nothing changes in Google Ads until you approve it.

  1. Press Review to see what changes and why.
  2. Approve it — Gexad applies it and checks the result.
  3. "You fix it" items come with step-by-step instructions.
This week

Your last 7 days compared with the 7 days before, read from Google Ads.

  1. Spent: what your ads cost.
  2. Customers & leads: the conversions Google Ads counted.
  3. Cost per customer: spent ÷ customers — lower is better.

Green arrows are good news, red ones need attention.

Suggestions

Open page

Every change Gexad recommends — budgets, bids, keywords, ads, tracking fixes — in one list. Each waits for your approval, unless you've let Gexad make that kind of change on its own.

  1. Open a suggestion to see why Gexad recommends it and the evidence behind it.
  2. Approve it to apply, or reject it if it doesn't fit.
  3. Follow its progress until it's applied and verified.

"Block irrelevant searches automatically" (here) and the automation level in Budget decide what Gexad may do without asking.

Block irrelevant searches automatically

Every day Gexad reads the searches your ads showed for and finds the ones that aren't what you sell — job seekers, students, people looking for a competitor or something else entirely.

  1. On: Gexad adds them as negative keywords itself, and what's already waiting is applied.
  2. Off: each one waits here for your approval.
  3. Either way, a negative that would block one of your own keywords is never added, and one that already does is removed.

A competitor's name or a job word is blocked on its own; other words only together with the rest of the search, so good searches that share a word keep showing.

All websites

Open page

Every website, business or client you manage in Gexad on one screen — last 30 days' spend, conversions and cost per conversion against the 30 days before, what's waiting for you, what Gexad changed, the plan — and the last 24 hours of Gexad's work across all of them.

  1. Scan the list: anything waiting or with a problem is marked.
  2. Press "Open" to go to that website's dashboard.
  3. "Add a website" for another business or client — each gets its own Google Ads account, campaigns and reports.

Agencies: one website per client. Each client's PDF report carries your logo.

Website details

Open page

What Gexad read on your website. The AI uses it to write campaigns and ads that match your pages.

  1. Scan your website (homepage + up to 20 linked pages), or add specific pages by hand.
  2. Check the pages that were read.
  3. Scan again after big changes to your site.

If your site blocks bots, allow "GexadBot" in your firewall or robots.txt.

Google Ads

Campaigns

Open page

All your Google Ads campaigns plus drafts you're planning. Campaigns stay in sync with Google Ads automatically.

  1. Open a campaign to see and change its settings.
  2. Create a new one with AI or as a manual draft.
  3. Use the trash icon to remove a campaign from Gexad or from Google Ads.

"Sync campaigns" brings everything from Google Ads, including campaigns you removed from Gexad.

Ad groups

Google Ads organises a campaign into ad groups. Each ad group is one topic, with its own keywords (what people search) and its own ads (what they see).

  1. Open an ad group to see its ads and keywords.
  2. "Check these ads" or "Write new ads" opens Ad Studio on that ad group.
  3. "Manage keywords" opens its keywords.
  4. "Pause ad group" or "Remove ad group" at the bottom stops it in Google Ads.

Gexad writes Google Ads for you, or checks the ads you already run and tells you what to fix.

  1. Choose "Write new ads" or "Check my current ads".
  2. Pick the campaign and ad group.
  3. Write: press "Write ads for me", approve the ad you like and send it to Google Ads. Check: press "Analyze" and open each colored row.

The blue "What to do now" bar always tells you the next step.

Which ads?

Ads are written for one ad group at a time, so Gexad can use that ad group's keywords, landing page and results.

  1. Pick the campaign.
  2. Pick the ad group you want new or better ads for.
Write new ads or check current ones

Create writes new ad variations with AI. Analyze reviews the ads already running in this ad group and shows what to improve.

Tell Gexad about your offer

What Gexad knows about this ad group and uses while writing: keywords, landing page, your goal and past results. "Partial data" means some of it is missing — the ads are still written, just with less to go on.

  1. Check the facts are right.
  2. Fill in your offer, goal, market and tone below — they make the ads specific.

Gexad never invents an offer or a price; it only uses what you write here or what's on your site.

Message strategy

The plan for the ads: the main message, a supporting point, what makes you different and the call to action.

  1. Generate it with AI, or write your own.
  2. Edit anything that doesn't sound like you.
Message angle

The angle of the first variation — e.g. outcome-led, price-led or local. Different angles let you test which message works best.

Pick the ad you like

Complete ads (headlines and descriptions) written from the strategy. Approve the ones you like; only approved ones can go to Google Ads.

  1. Select a variation to see why it was written that way.
  2. Edit, regenerate a line, or approve it.
  3. Apply the approved version to Google Ads.
Why this ad

The facts from your account and website the selected variation is based on, with their source.

Ready for Google Ads

Checks every version against Google Ads rules (length, capitalization, repeated text, claims) before you can apply it.

Fix red items first; yellow ones are warnings.

Send it to Google Ads

Sends the approved version to Google Ads as a new ad in this ad group, then reads it back to confirm it's exactly what you approved. Nothing changes in Google Ads until you press apply.

  1. Google allows at most 3 active ads per ad group. If it's full, tick the ad to pause — it's paused just before the new one goes in.
  2. With "Pause the weakest ad automatically" on, Gexad ticks the weakest one for you (fewest conversions, then clicks).
  3. If Google rejects the new ad, the paused one is turned back on.
Version history

Every saved version of the selected variation, newest first — what changed and when.

A/B tests

Run two ads against each other in this ad group and let real results decide which message wins.

  1. Pick the ad to test against your current one.
  2. Let it run until Gexad has enough clicks to call a winner.
  3. Keep the winner; pause the other.
Your live ads

The ads running in this ad group right now, read from Google Ads, with their clicks, conversions and cost.

  1. Press Analyze to let Gexad review them.
  2. Read what works and what to improve.
  3. Turn an opportunity into a new variation or an A/B test.
Gexad's take

Gexad's short summary of how these ads perform and why.

Opportunities

Specific improvements Gexad found, each with the evidence behind it. Turn one into a new ad or an A/B test with one click.

Keywords

Open page

The keywords your ads run on and the real searches (search terms) that triggered them, with what each costs and earns.

  1. Choose a campaign.
  2. Find search terms that spend without converting — add them as negative keywords.
  3. Find searches that convert but aren't keywords yet — add them as keywords.

Gexad screens these searches every day and protects your keywords: a negative that would block one of them is never added, and one that already does is removed.

Budget

Open page

How each campaign spends its daily budget, whether budget or bids are holding it back, and where money could move to bring more customers.

  1. Choose a period and check each campaign's spend and limits.
  2. Read Gexad's budget and max-CPC recommendations.
  3. Set your strategy, your guardrails (including a daily spend ceiling) and how much Gexad may change on its own.

The daily budget is the most a campaign spends in a day; the max CPC is the most one click costs. A higher max CPC wins more auctions without raising the budget.

Bid optimization and max CPC

Whether a campaign is held back by its budget or by its price per click. The max CPC (the most one click may cost) only exists on Maximize clicks campaigns; with Maximize conversions or a target CPA / ROAS, Google sets each click's bid itself.

  1. Start: a new Maximize clicks campaign starts at the typical top-of-page bid of its keywords (Google Keyword Planner) — or about $2 when Google doesn't share that estimate. Your daily budget never decides the price of a click.
  2. Every day Gexad reads yesterday's auctions (the last 7 days when one day says too little). Raise: the ads lose searches to ad rank — the price doubles when they hardly show and lose most searches, but never goes above twice what clicks for these keywords cost on the market (about $10 until that price is known).
  3. Lower: toward the price clicks actually converted at, or after 50+ clicks in 14 days with no conversion — only while conversion tracking is verified, and never while the ads hardly show.
  4. Graduate: 10 conversions in 14 days with verified tracking → the campaign moves to Maximize conversions at the cost per conversion it achieved.
  5. At most one change a day per campaign, at most ×2 up or 30% down. A max CPC you set in the campaign's settings is left alone until a full day has run at it. Changes follow your automation level below.

Google needs time to learn after each change — let a new price run a few days before judging it.

Account budget guardrails

Limits no budget change can cross — whether you approve it or Gexad applies it on its own.

  1. Maximum daily spend: a ceiling for the whole account's daily budgets. Leave it empty for no ceiling.
  2. Max increase / decrease per change: the largest step for one campaign's budget (never more than 25%).
  3. Max account total change: how far the account's total daily budget may move in one change.
  4. Require approval above: under limited autonomy, bigger changes than this still wait for you.
  5. Minimum confidence and protected campaigns: how sure Gexad must be, and the campaigns whose budgets it never touches.

Budget changes also wait while conversion tracking can't be trusted.

Budget automation

How much Gexad does on its own with budgets and with the max CPC of Maximize clicks campaigns. New ads and campaign settings always wait for you; blocking irrelevant searches has its own switch in Suggestions.

  1. Recommendation only: Gexad suggests; nothing reaches Google Ads.
  2. Approval required: every change waits for your approval in Suggestions. Every account starts here.
  3. Limited autonomy: small, high-confidence changes apply on their own; larger ones wait for you.
  4. Full autonomy: any change your guardrails allow applies on its own, including increases — and every step is recorded.

The strategy above decides the direction: Maintain current spend never raises the total; Controlled growth may raise it gradually when a campaign wins customers cheaply but runs out of budget.

Results

Money history

Open page

Where your Google Ads budget goes: the period's spend against the one before, day by day and by website, with every spend, change, sync and payment in one list. Under it, a look back over the last 12 months of your Google Ads — paused and removed campaigns included: what was spent each month and on which campaigns, the searches you paid for, the ones that never brought a customer and what they cost, and which of those had nothing to do with your business (judged by Gexad's AI, with the reason).

  1. Pick a period and a website (or all of them) at the top; Export saves it as a spreadsheet.
  2. Hover the chart to compare a day with the same day of the period before.
  3. "Searches that never converted": the costliest first, each with Gexad's verdict.
  4. "Words that would have blocked them": add them as negative keywords so it doesn't happen again.

Nothing in your account is changed. It's made once when your trial or plan starts; you can make it again once a day.

Conversions

Open page

Checks that your conversions (sign-ups, purchases, calls) are counted correctly — without that, Google Ads can't optimize. It runs on a schedule, and whenever you run it yourself.

  1. Start with the next step shown at the top.
  2. Settings Google lets Gexad change — like counting a sign-up once per click — are fixed for you; the rest come with step-by-step instructions.
  3. Run it again after a fix to confirm.

A healthy tracking setup is the base for every other recommendation: budget changes wait while tracking can't be trusted.

Conversion settings Gexad fixes for you

Google Ads optimizes toward what it counts, so Gexad keeps your conversion actions counting the right thing.

  1. Leads and sign-ups are set to count once per click, so one person signing up twice isn't two customers.
  2. If your goal is sign-ups and no action measures them, Gexad creates a "Sign-up completed" action and shows you the code to put on your site.
  3. Actions made without code in Google Ads, or by Google itself, can't be changed through the API — Gexad tells you exactly what to change, and where.
  4. A setting you changed yourself is respected; Gexad doesn't undo it.

Revenue

Open page

What your ads bring in: revenue, cost per customer and return on ad spend by campaign.

  1. Set your revenue model (e.g. value of a customer).
  2. Compare campaigns by revenue and cost per customer.
  3. Move budget towards campaigns that return the most.

Analytics

Open page

Your account's performance over time: what changed, why, and how locations and devices perform.

  1. Pick a period.
  2. Read "what changed" and the anomalies.
  3. Check locations and devices to see where results come from.

Reports

Open page

A plain summary of a day, week or month — results, changes Gexad made and what's recommended next — and a detailed PDF of it with your own logo, ready to send to a client.

  1. Choose daily, weekly, monthly or your own dates.
  2. Read the summary and key figures.
  3. "Report branding": your logo, name and colour.
  4. "Download PDF" and send it to your client or team.
PDF report with your logo

A detailed PDF of the period on screen: key figures against the previous period, daily spend, conversion and click charts, every campaign's share of spend and cost per conversion, what was improved and what's next. Your logo, name and colour are on every page — not Gexad's.

  1. Pick the period.
  2. Press "Download PDF".
  3. Send it to your client.

Every figure comes from synced Google Ads data — nothing in the report is invented.

Report branding

How your PDF reports look: your logo (PNG, JPEG or WebP up to 2 MB), your name, your brand colour, who the report is prepared for and a footer note such as your contact details — and whether last month's report is emailed automatically each month (to the owners and admins, and to your client if you add their address).

  1. Open "Report branding" in Reports.
  2. Upload your logo and fill in the fields.
  3. Save — the next PDF uses it.

Without an uploaded logo, your website's logo is used; an empty field uses the default shown under it.

Pages & competitors

Landing Pages

Open page

The pages your ads send people to, with the clicks and conversions of the ads pointing there and any problems found.

  1. Look for pages with issues (unreachable, no conversion tag).
  2. Open a page to see its campaigns, keywords and facts.
  3. Use "Check now" after fixing something.
How landing pages are checked

Landing pages come from your ads' final URLs automatically — you never add them by hand.

  1. Reachability: opened by the website scan, or right now with Check now.
  2. Conversion tag: the Conversion Tracking Doctor looks for your Google Ads, GA4 or Tag Manager tag on the homepage and every page your ads use, on its schedule (weekly by default).
  3. Check now: re-checks one page (or all shown with "Check all pages now") — up to 30 checks an hour.

Tags loaded later by Tag Manager, plugins or consent tools can't be seen in the page's HTML, so "No conversion tag detected" is an observation, not proof that tracking is missing.

Competitors

Open page

Who competes with you in Google Ads, how they position themselves, and openings you can use.

  1. Review the advertisers found in your auctions.
  2. Read the keyword gaps and messaging comparison.
  3. Act on the opportunities — e.g. test a new ad angle in Ad Studio.
Competitor analysis status

Gexad looks for and analyzes your competitors every morning at 06:00 in your Google Ads account's timezone. You can also refresh it yourself once a week.

  1. Completed: every source was read and AI analysis ran. Partial: some sources were missing (e.g. auction insights), so results rest on less data. Insufficient data: nothing could be observed yet. Failed: the run stopped — it's retried the next day.
  2. Data quality: Sufficient = several independent sources; Partial = one or two; Insufficient = none.
  3. Auction insights: competitors and overlap straight from Google Ads. "Waiting for Google's approval" means Google doesn't share them with Gexad yet — Gexad checks every day and switches over automatically.
  4. AI web search: until then, Gexad finds competitors by searching the web; each one links to the page that shows it.
Observed advertisers

Everyone Gexad tracks as a competitor. Est. visibility and Overlap come from Google Ads auction insights (how often they showed, and how often next to you); they stay empty until Google allows auction insights for this account.

  1. Source: where Gexad found them — auction insights, your own entry, or AI inferred (web search).
  2. AI status: Analyzed = done; Analyzing = in progress; Partial = some data couldn't be read; Insufficient data = nothing observed yet.
  3. Click a row to open its summary; click the domain to open its website.

OBSERVED = seen directly (auction insights, a competitor's page or ad). ESTIMATED = calculated by Gexad's rules from what was observed. INFERRED = written by AI from observed data — a lead to check, not a fact.

Observed competitor ads

Competitor ads Gexad has seen — read from their pages or recorded by you. Each ad shows its headlines, offer and when it was last seen.

  1. Pick a competitor to see its ads.
  2. Saw an ad on Google? "Record an ad you saw" adds it — Gexad then compares its messaging with yours.
Message positioning

Where each advertiser's messaging sits. Left–right: price-led (cheap, discounts, plans) to outcome-led (results, ROI). Bottom–top: generic ("best", "easy") to specialized (a niche, an industry, a use case).

  1. Find "You" (blue).
  2. A crowded corner means everyone says the same thing there.
  3. An empty corner can be a positioning to test.
Keyword overlap

Your keywords where competitors were also seen, how strong the competition is, and what to do: defend (you win, keep it), contested (close fight), hold, or review.

Keyword gaps Gexad found

Searches people already make (from your search terms) that you don't target with a keyword yet, with the clicks and conversions they brought.

  1. Look at searches with conversions first.
  2. Add the good ones as keywords from Keyword Intelligence.
Search intent coverage

How your keywords spread over search intents — ready to buy, comparing options, looking for information, or brand searches — and where competitors were seen.

  1. A thin "ready to buy" row usually costs you customers.
  2. Comparing searches are where competitors win clicks.
Messaging landscape

The themes competitors use in their ads and pages (price, speed, trust, results…) and how many use each one.

  1. Saturated themes: everyone says it, it won't stand out.
  2. Rare themes you can credibly claim are worth testing in your ads.
Offer comparison

The prices, free trials, guarantees and calls to action found on competitors' pages, next to yours. Only what was actually seen — an unknown price stays unknown.

Competitor landing pages

The competitor pages Gexad read: headline, offer, proof (reviews, logos) and calls to action — compared with your own landing page.

Pages are read from the public web; a site that blocks robots or fails to load isn't shown.

Competitive risks

Where competitors could take customers from you — e.g. a lower price, a stronger guarantee, or outranking you on your best searches — with the evidence for each.

Opportunities

Things worth testing, based on what competitors do and don't say. Each one shows its evidence and confidence.

  1. Open one to see the evidence.
  2. "Use in Ad Studio" turns it into new ads to test.
Market gaps

Customer needs or angles no observed competitor covers. Recommendations to test — not facts about the market.

Agencies: give each client its own workspace (the switcher at the top of the page) and switch between them in one click.

Several websites or clients

Each business or client is its own website in Gexad — its own Google Ads account, campaigns, budget, competitors and reports — under one login. "All websites" shows them all on one screen, and Gexad works in every one, every day.

  1. Open "All websites" in the menu and press "Add a website".
  2. Connect its Google Ads account (accounts under your MCC are listed).
  3. Open any website from "All websites" or the switcher at the top.

Each client account is priced by its own ad spend. Managing many clients? Ask us about volume pricing.

Team roles

Owners and admins manage billing, members and connections; members run the account (approve suggestions, build campaigns, write ads); read-only users see everything and change nothing — a good fit for a client.

Every change is recorded in Activity with who made it.
