Find money spent on search terms, placements, audiences and ads that never convert, and the exact fixes. Use when the user says things like "where are we wasting ad spend?"; "find junk search terms"; "build a negative keyword list from our search terms"; "which placements should we exclude?"; "are our campaigns competing with each other?"; "find new keywords from our search terms report".
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Wasted ad spend finder Find spend that is producing nothing the business wants (irrelevant queries, junk placements, overlapping audiences, keywords competing with each other, dead ads) and turn it into precise, reversible fixes. The same pass also finds converting search terms that deserve their own keywords. Waste is proven with sample sizes and break-even math, never asserted. ## When to use - Monthly account hygiene; taking over an account; before asking for more budget; after scaling or loosening match types. - "Junk search terms", "negative keywords", "placement exclusions", "cannibalisation", "keywords we're missing". - Not for: a scored full-account audit (`cmo-ads-audit`), a sudden CPA spike (`cmo-ads-monitoring`), the weekly search-terms routine and bid changes in a healthy Google account (`cmo-google-ads`) or deciding where the saved money goes (`cmo-ads-budget`). ## Before you start - Require the search terms report. Without it, do not suggest any negative keyword, not even "common" ones; ask for the report. - Ask for unfiltered exports and the campaign totals for the same window, so you can state how many clicks the search terms report actually discloses. …

How to install
mdr add ai-marketing-os-ltd/cmo-so-skills/cmo-wasted-spend@sha256:ef057f12a797f3c7The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.15.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
