Client work

A platform report is not client proof

Product announcement for AI Max reporting

What happened

Google Ads announced the report on 23 September. It will connect a search term, the creative a person saw and the landing page. Google says availability details will follow later this year.

This records a path through an ad journey. It does not show whether a conversion was valuable, whether the creative was right or what the client should change.

What it joins

The report joins the search term, shown creative and landing page. It still cannot explain client intent, lead quality or why a result moved.

What it misses

What it misses: Client intent, quality of the lead and the reason a result moved. A report cannot provide those on its own.

Why it matters here

Big media teams can add this view to a reporting stack. A small agency may let it become the report. Keep the client’s original question beside it.

Pick three checks before the view arrives: the search term, the landing page and the business result. Name what would change the next decision. Otherwise, the neat screen wins.

Do this by Friday

The account lead and media buyer spend 30 minutes on one live campaign. Write the three checks that must appear before a client recommendation.

Try it now

Using this campaign report, list the search term, creative and landing page for each result. Then state which result supports our client decision, which does not, and what must be checked before we recommend a change.

Opens a new chat with the prompt in it, and copies it too. Connected to Viravesso, your AI already knows the client.
