Use for "am I on track with my Google Ads budget", "will I overspend this month", "how much should I spend a day", "which campaigns are capped by budget", "we underspent and I don't know why", "where should I move budget", or a mid-month spend check — even when the user never says "pacing". Also use when someone needs to know whether adding budget to a campaign would do anything at all. Google Ads only.

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 Budget Pacing

Shows where your Google Ads spend will land by month end and which campaigns would get more conversions with more budget. Google Ads Budget Pacing is a Coupler.io AI agent skill that works with live data from Google Ads.

**Tells you whether you'll land on budget, and what to move to make sure you do.**

Google Ads has no monthly budget for standard campaigns — the number a client actually cares about
lives in a retainer or media plan, outside the platform. So the account can't tell you whether you're
on track, and the spend report can't tell you why. The trap underneath it: a campaign underspending
because nobody wants the product and one underspending because its budget is throttling real demand
look identical in a spend report and need opposite actions. Recommending more money for the first is
the classic pacing mistake.

**What you get back**

- **Where you are** — spend to date against where flat pacing would have put you, anchored to the
  last complete day.
- **Where you're heading** — two projections, linear and trailing, with the one to trust named. When
  they disagree, that's a finding: something changed mid-period, and you get the date.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add coupler-io/skills/google-ads-budget-pacing@sha256:a18e0c4967498249

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.
