Search intent, account structure, conversion tracking, margins, lead quality, all of that. If they do, Claude becomes leverage. If they don’t, it just gives them very confident sounding bad ideas**😅**
Looking at Google Ads alone only gets you so far. Once the model can see CRM outcomes, landing pages, GA4, Search Console, call data, maybe even sales notes, it starts thinking about the juicy stuff. Not “this keyword converted.” More like “these leads never close” or “this ad group looks efficient in-platform but the intent is wrong once you follow it through.”
I also agree on the agency angle. If you already have a real playbook, the economics change quickly. Smaller accounts that were never worth deep manual work suddenly can get proper attention daily through automated actions. That does not replace senior buyers. It just changes how much one good operator can handle without quality slipping.
Only thing I’d add though is that the write side needs guardrails. Read-only analysis is the easy part. Letting it push changes live is where you find out fast whether your context, tracking, and operating rules are actually solid.Feels a year early for the average advertiser, but I don’t see this going backwards either.
