Rule 01
Show the Case First
Every proposal names why it exists and shows the account data behind it.
Suggestions
Suggestions is the approval queue. Changes arrive with the reason and the evidence attached. You confirm or cancel. Contrast that with tools that edit the account and explain afterwards.
The problem
Automation that applies first and notifies later trains you to distrust every change. When cost per lead jumps, you cannot tell whether a human, a script, or a recommendation engine moved the money.
An approval queue flips the order. The case is made. You decide. The account stays still until you say otherwise.
What it does
01
Proposals arrive before the account changes. Wasted clicks, search-term actions, and related Growth suggestions sit where you can see them.
02
Each proposal carries the reason it was produced and the supporting evidence: spend, clicks, conversions, match type, placement. You are not asked to trust a black box.
03
Confirm writes to Google Ads. Cancel drops the proposal and leaves the account alone. Nothing applies itself from this queue.
04
High-impact optimizer changes that need a human use Approve or Dismiss with the same evidence-first pattern. Judgment stays yours.
05
When a proposed negative would overlap a live positive keyword, you see a warning before you confirm.
The rules
Rule 01
Every proposal names why it exists and shows the account data behind it.
Rule 02
Google Ads changes from this queue only happen after Confirm.
Rule 03
Dismissing a proposal leaves the live account untouched.
Rule 04
Proposed negatives that overlap live positives are flagged before you act.
Rule 05
Growth and high-impact optimizer proposals wait in a queue. They do not silent-edit the account.
