Manage Google and Meta Ads with coding agents
A PPC marketer uses Claude Code and Codex connected to Google Ads API, GA4, Search Console, CRM and Meta to manage ads, not just report on them.

- What they did
- The marketer built scripts on Google’s own APIs and organized each client in a folder that exposed the models to Google Ads, GA4, Search Console, GTM, website/CMS, CRM, offline conversions, and sometimes Meta. The agents pulled files and reports for search terms, spend, CRM outcomes, conversion actions, and tracking, then drafted negatives, RSAs, restructuring ideas, and tracking audits; the human reviewed claims in the UI and approved any staged write actions.
- How it went
- It was most useful for repetitive weekly account work and for finding tracking and CRM issues that look like ad problems, but the post gives no hard performance lift numbers. The main shortcoming was hallucination risk, so the author only trusted outputs grounded in scripts, files, and cross-checks.
- Worth knowing
- The main catch was setup and guardrails: they required a manager account, OAuth credentials, a Google Ads developer token, and even used a 48-hour wait after tracking changes before trusting downstream data.
