What is Google Ads Account Monitor?
Google Ads Account Monitor is a monitoring agent that scans your entire Google Ads account for budget pacing anomalies, campaign status changes, spend spikes, and optimization score drops every 4 hours. It is report-only with no write actions. Built for teams managing accounts with multiple active campaigns.

The problem — and how this kit solves it.
The Problem
When you manage 10+ campaigns across a Google Ads account, anomalies hide in plain sight. A campaign silently pauses, spend spikes 40% above the 7-day average, or optimization scores drop — and nobody notices until the weekly review.
The Solution
The agent monitors your entire Google Ads account every 4 hours. It detects budget pacing anomalies, campaign status changes, spend spikes and drops versus the 7-day average, and flags low optimization scores. All findings are delivered as notifications — no write actions are taken.
The Outcome
Detect account-level anomalies within 4 hours instead of waiting for the next manual review.

Who is this for?
Agency managing 15+ client campaigns in one account
Automated scans catch status changes and spend spikes across all campaigns without manual tab-switching. Anomalies surface in notifications instead of weekly reviews.
In-house team with seasonal campaign surges
During peak periods when campaign count doubles, the monitor ensures no campaign silently overspends or pauses without the team knowing.
Frequently asked questions
It detects 4 anomaly types: budget pacing deviations, campaign status changes (e.g. a campaign silently pausing), spend spikes or drops versus the 7-day average, and low optimization scores. Each anomaly triggers a notification.
No. Account Monitor is strictly report-only. It has no allowed actions — it scans, detects, and notifies. It never pauses, resumes, or adjusts any campaign.
The agent compares each campaign's current spend against its 7-day rolling average. Spikes or drops that exceed the threshold trigger an alert so you can investigate before the anomaly compounds.
Yes. Account Monitor provides visibility and alerts, while optimizer kits like General Google Optimizer or Search Optimizer take action. They complement each other — monitoring catches what optimization misses.
Pairs well with.
These kits complement each other. Deploy them together for coverage no single agent can provide.
General Google Optimizer

Google Ads Campaign Health Check
This is the smallest viable Google Ads action agent for Zimmer. Instead of asking for raw GAQL or pasted OAuth tokens, it uses your existing Google Ads integration. You choose one synced campaign, the agent fetches the latest campaign details and today's metrics through an internal integration-backed health endpoint, computes budget utilisation, and writes a structured summary into the run log.
Google Ads Portfolio Monitor
Compares all campaigns side-by-side: who is over/under target KPI, where budget is concentrated vs. performance, which campaigns are scaling well. Produces a structured recommendation report. Does NOT directly execute changes — pair with an optimizer agent for execution.
Google Ads Optimization Digest
Pulls 7-day and 30-day performance data, Google recommendations, search term reports, and change history. AI generates a structured digest with executive summary, campaign-by-campaign analysis, keyword insights, and recommended next steps.
