For Google Ads pros and agency teams

A stolen laptop shouldn't expose the accounts you manage.

Connect Claude to your Google Ads accounts the safe way, with the keys held somewhere a thief can never get them. Real answers in seconds, on the live account, with the maths done by code instead of guessed by a chatbot.

I ran a Google Ads agency in Australia for over a decade, so I understand the risks. This is the exact way I would want to connect AI to my own clients' accounts, whether you manage ads for a single business or oversee an MCC with 500+ accounts.

17 lessons · 49 ready-to-run reports · Lifetime access · No subscription on the course (you also need a Claude plan, the $20/month one works, paid to Anthropic, not me).

sample session · your account

Find every search term over €50 with no sales in the last 90 days, across this client's account.

CLAUDE

That report runs to tens of thousands of rows, too many to read in a chat, so I saved them to a file and ran the maths there. On this account, that's a meaningful chunk of spend going to terms that have never converted. Want the same sweep across every account you manage?

Yes. Then group the worst by intent so I can decide which to negative, and save all that to a new Google Sheet.

CLAUDE

Done across all of them. Each is sorted into off-topic, tyre-kickers, and competitor terms so you can easily find what you need. The sheet's ready, and nothing was changed in any account.

That's one question, answered in seconds, on the real account. No screenshots, no pasting, no guessing. Ask it once and it works through every account you need it to.

The payoff

What changes the day you connect this.

Setup is the means. This is the point. Once Claude is wired safely into your account, here's what's different from day one, whether you run one account or 400.

A full account audit in minutes, not a morning.

Point it at an account and it pulls the data, builds the charts, and writes up the audit. The report that used to eat half your day is ready while you make a coffee. (The audit skill that does this is one of your two bonuses, further down.)

Reports your client or your CMO actually reads.

“I sent the report to a new client who hasn't even onboarded yet. They replied, this report is absolutely amazing.” That's a real quote, further down the page. The numbers are worked out by code, so you can defend every one.

More accounts in the same hours, without hiring.

The reports are ready to fire, and “Claude reports, you decide” keeps the account safe, so you (or an account manager, or a junior) can run real analysis without it eating your day.

One question across your whole book, or just the one account you've got.

Ask once and it works through everything you manage while you wait, instead of repeating yourself account by account.

The simple version of the payoff is this. One account audit that used to take a morning now takes a couple of minutes. Do that once and the €47 has paid for itself in time. If you run three audits a month, that's most of a working day back, every month, off a single payment.

Where this fits

You already know Google Ads. This is about connecting AI to it without exposing your accounts, and getting answers you can trust in front of a client or your CMO.

Maybe you've pasted some data into a chat and asked a question. That's fine for a quick look, but it's the slow lane. Wiring AI straight into your account, so it pulls the data itself and runs the analysis, is the part that might feel like it could get technical or risky. It doesn't have to be either, and that's what this course walks you through, one safe step at a time. By the end of your first sitting, you're working in your own account.

What this solves

Two problems: keep the accounts safe, and get every number right.

The big one

Where your account keys live.

To let AI into a Google Ads account, the login keys have to live somewhere. The quick way drops them in a plain text file sitting in a folder on your machine. But there's no 2FA. Lose that laptop, or have it nicked at a café, and whoever finds it has access to every account those keys can reach. This course is how you skip that entirely and start safe.

The other one

Trusting the maths.

You've already experienced this. A chatbot can confidently hand you a wrong number. A language model doesn't calculate, it predicts the next bit of text, so it treats a number like a word and guesses. This course does it the reliable way. Your data saves to a file, and code does the maths part, so the numbers you put in front of a client or your CMO are calculated correctly. Not guessed at.

The map

Three ways to connect. I walk you through yours.

Which one is right depends on what you're doing and where you want your account keys to live. Pick your row, and the course walks that one with you, step by step.

START HERE
Your Google Ads account
Whichever you pick, the first step is the same: Google has to let you in.
If you just want to ask questions
The quick way in

You ask, and the answer comes straight back in the chat. It's the fastest way to start, and where most people begin.

KEYSYour keys stay on your own computer
If you pull big reports
The big-report way

Thousands of rows land neatly in a spreadsheet instead of jamming up the chat, so nothing breaks.

KEYSYour keys sit in a file you keep
If you share with a team, or just want it safest
The shared vault

Your keys live in one locked place, off everyone's laptop. It's the safe choice, and the one to pick for a team.

KEYSKeys locked away, off every laptop
Your keys stay safe.

A file of keys sitting on a laptop has no second password. Lose the laptop, and someone could reach every account it can see. The shared vault keeps those keys off every machine, so that can't happen.

30k+

A single search-term report can run to tens of thousands of rows. That's far too much for a chat, so it goes into a file instead.

For your security team

Your IT geeks will finally smile.

The hard part of bringing AI to client accounts is usually the sign-off, not the setup. So here are the lines, ready to hand to the people who have to approve it.

Give these to your IT team
  • The actual keys live in one locked-away place, encrypted, off the laptop, never in a plain file on the machine.
  • Each person's machine carries only a link and a read-only token, nothing sensitive.
  • Access can be cut off for one device on its own, so a lost or stolen laptop is shut out without touching anyone else.
  • “Claude reports, you decide,” so it never changes the account without an explicit ask plus a manual review step.
If a client asks “is my account safe with you?”

Your account keys never sit on any of our team's machines. They're held encrypted in one place we control, and any laptop's access can be removed instantly.

Why this, not just pasting into ChatGPT

A real connection beats copy-pasting into a chat, and it's safer too.

It works on the whole account, not just the data you paste.

Claude reads the account directly, so it's never guessing from the slice of data you managed to fit into a chat window.

It remembers your accounts.

One file in your setup teaches Claude how your accounts work, and it carries across every session, so you stop repeating yourself.

You own what you build.

It's a one-off setup you understand and control. No seat fees, nothing to renew, and no third-party tool holding your keys.

The setup

Set it up once, in about 30 minutes, and it's yours for life.

There's nothing to download. You do it all in your browser, I walk you through one step at a time, so you're never left guessing what comes next, and you can't accidentally skip the part that keeps you safe.

You build the connection yourself, so by the end you understand exactly how it works and where your keys are. That understanding is the difference between trusting a black box and knowing your accounts are locked down.

The full 17 lessons will take longer if you choose to go through every one. That's optional, not homework, and you don't need to find eight free hours to get value. You're working in your own account after the first 30-minute sitting, and from then on this gives you time back every week.

01

All in your browser.

You do the whole thing by clicking. Nothing to download.

02

Stop and pick up where you left off.

You're busy, so the setup saves your progress as you go, so you can split it across two sittings without needing to start over.

03

About 30 minutes.

That's all it takes, plus a short wait while Google approves your access on its side (often minutes, sometimes a few hours). The course tells you which step to do first so that wait runs in the background and doesn't slow you down.

By the end, three things are true
Your keys stay off every laptop.

Held in one place you control, ready to share with your whole team.

The numbers are calculated, not guessed.

Large chunks of data save to a file and get worked out by code, instead of going into a chat.

You understand how the whole thing works.

Because you built the connection yourself.

What you get

Everything you need to do this safely, in one place, for €47.

You get more than lessons. The reports, the code, and the checklists come with it, so you're working in your own account by the end of the first sitting instead of still reading.

Honest fit

This assumes you already know Google Ads. It teaches you to connect AI to it, safely.

It is not a course on Google Ads itself.

Right for you if
  • You run paid in-house on your company's own account, and you want to use AI without your IT team, or your own neck, being exposed.
  • You're an agency managing client accounts, and you want your team sharing AI access without client credentials sitting on every laptop.
  • You're a one-person shop and you want the same safe setup the agencies use.
  • You know Google Ads cold, but you've never wired an AI straight into an account, and you want to do it without it becoming a coding project.
  • You care about where the login keys end up.
  • You'd rather understand the system you build than rent someone's tool.
Skip it if
  • You've never worked in the Google Ads UI as a professional.
  • You want a literal one-button tool. This is still all clicking, with every step walked through, but you do follow along to set it up, which is why you end up understanding it.
  • You want something that changes bids for you, because the course holds a firm “Claude reports, you decide” line.
  • You're not willing to spend about half an hour on a guided setup.
From the Ads to AI community

People already working this way, in their own words.

I got 4 new clients last week, one bigger than I have ever had. The only reason I'm comfortable dealing with them all at once is because of the Brain.

Speaking as a guy who doesn't have coding experience and runs an agency, yes, all of this is true. Unbelievable stuff that has changed the way we operate.

Claude reports. You decide.

It fetches the data, runs the maths, and writes the report. The judgement, and every decision that reaches a client or your CMO, stays yours. Claude never changes a campaign unless you explicitly ask, and even then only after a manual review step. The course covers exactly what's safe to automate and what isn't.

Why €47

Priced so you can just buy it. Today.

€47 is one small one-off payment, less than an hour of your time, with no subscription on the course and nothing to renew. The only ongoing cost is a Claude plan, which you probably already have.

So buying the course is a simple, expense-it-on-a-card decision that commits nobody and puts nothing live.

What €47 buys is bigger than the price. It changes how you, or your whole team, work on every account from now on: audits in minutes instead of mornings, numbers you can defend, reports your clients or your CMO actually read.

For the conversation with your boss or your client

“This is the safe, approved way to put AI to work on the account. The keys are held encrypted in one place, off every laptop, and any device's access can be cut off on its own (in case someone leaves). I'm the one bringing AI to our paid search, done properly.” That's two sentences you can paste into an email to get it signed off.

Then weigh what doing nothing costs.

Common questions

The things people ask before buying.

I'm not very technical. Can I really do the setup?+

Yes. You do the whole thing by clicking in your browser. There's nothing to download, no command to type, and nothing to install. The Click-Along Setup walks you through every step one screen at a time, the checklists save your place so you never start over, and the Ads to AI community is there if you get stuck on a step. If you can follow a recipe, you can do this.

Where do my account keys actually end up?+

Without this they're on your own machine, in a plain text file. Once you've gone through the steps and set this up, they're in a private vault on the web that you set up with a few clicks, not my servers. If you manage client accounts, the shared vault is the one you need, and the course walks you through that.

I've tried chatting to my data and it broke. Why?+

Two reasons. A chat can only hold so much, so a big report fills it up and the answers go flaky. And a language model predicts numbers rather than calculating them, so the maths can be wrong without you knowing. The course does it the reliable way: your data saves to a file, and real code does the analysis, so the totals are calculated, not guessed.

What's the difference between an API and an MCP?+

An API is the door Google opens so software can read your account. An MCP is one tidy way to hand that door to an AI so you can just talk to it. You don't need to memorise either. The course explains both in plain English and tells you which one you want for what you're doing.

Do I need to know how to code?+

No. Claude writes and runs every script and explains what it did. You read the output. You'll understand how the connection works because you set it up yourself, not because you learned to program.

What if my company's tools are locked down by IT?+

This is the path built for that. The keys live encrypted in one locked-away place off the machine, and you only carry a link and a read-only token, so nothing sensitive sits on a locked-down laptop. Access can be cut off per device, and “Claude reports, you decide” means it never touches the account without an explicit ask. It was set up and tested on a live account in June 2026. The IT and client lines further up the page are the exact text to hand your security lead.

Which Claude do I need, and what does it cost for a team?+

Any Claude with a project workspace works: Cowork (in the Claude desktop app) or Claude Code. A paid plan (the $20/month one works) covers it, and that's the only ongoing cost. Each person who'll actively run analysis needs their own paid Claude plan, the way each person needs their own seat in any tool, paid to Anthropic, not me. The shared vault is what they share, so you set the safe connection up once and the whole team uses it without anyone's keys landing on a laptop. The free Claude.ai chat won't do it, because it has no project context or file access.

Do I need a Google Ads manager account (MCC)?+

No. An MCC makes multi-account work easier, but a single Ads account is fine, and plenty of people do this with one account. The first section covers both paths.

What if Google changes the UI again?+

Google redesigned the login screens while this course was being written, so it already covers the current Google Auth Platform UI and its gotchas. Google moves things from time to time, and the steps stay the same even when a button moves. The course teaches you what each step is for, so you can follow it even if a screen looks a little different.

Will Claude change my campaigns automatically?+

Only if you explicitly ask, and only after a manual review step. The course is firm: Claude reports, you decide. It covers exactly what's safe to automate and what isn't.

Is this affiliated with Google or Anthropic?+

No. It's independent. I run ads2ai, an Australian agency that's managed Google Ads for over a decade. The course is what I actually do with my own clients.

Your first bonus

A Google Ads audit skill, yours to keep.

I could sell this on its own; it's included. Point it at an account and it pulls the data, builds the charts, and writes up a full audit: campaigns, search terms, assets, geography, trends, and a list of prioritised actions. The kind of report that takes a morning, ready in a couple of minutes.

An honest note

It's a head start, not a replacement for your judgement as a marketer. It does the gathering and the first pass, fast, so your time goes on the thinking instead of the spreadsheet.

Yours to change

Add a section, drop one you don't use, or change where it lands. Want an interactive web report instead of a PDF, or the numbers in a Google Sheet? You just tell Claude, and it does it.

Your second bonus

The whole course on one page.

A mind map of every module and section, so you can see the layout of the whole course at a glance and find your way back to any lesson. Yours to keep when you join, as an interactive version you can click through.

The Google Ads and Claude course as a mind map: twelve modules and a question appendix branching from the centre.
