Use for "audit my Google Ads settings", "is my account set up right", "I inherited this account, what's wrong with it", "why is my traffic showing outside my area", "check my campaign settings", "new client account review" — even when the user never says "settings". Covers search partners, Display expansion, location intent, auto-apply, ad rotation, conversion windows, budgets and bid strategies, each priced in the spend flowing through it. Most of these toggles default in Google's favour.…

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

# Google Ads Account Settings Audit

Finds the Google Ads settings quietly wasting money, like search partners and Display expansion, and shows what each one costs you. Google Ads Account Settings Audit is a Coupler.io AI agent skill that works with live data from Google Ads.

**Finds the configuration defects that cost money quietly, and puts a spend figure on each one.**

Most of these settings default in Google's favour and never announce themselves. Search partners
delivering traffic that behaves nothing like your core inventory, location targeting set to anyone
merely *interested in* your area, recommendations applying themselves — none of it looks broken, and
all of it spends. The account will run for years like this and the performance report will never say
why.

**What you get back**

- **A defect list ranked by the spend flowing through each one**, not by severity in the abstract.
  Two accounts with identical defects get completely different reports.
- **The setting's current value and what it should be**, with the evidence behind the call.
- **A passed list** — what was checked and is fine, so the reader can tell that from what was never
  looked at.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add coupler-io/skills/google-ads-account-settings-audit@sha256:44e1aef0450b8624

The line at the top of this page pins the label v2.0.0, 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.
