Start with these 4 Google Ads prompt types

If you only use a few prompts from the pack, start with the ones closest to money: search terms, wasted spend, Performance Max and account audits.

Search terms prompts

Use these when you need to turn raw search query data into decisions: irrelevant queries, new keyword ideas, negative keyword candidates and mismatches between intent and landing pages.

Wasted spend prompts

Use these when spend is moving but the account story is unclear. They help you check budget waste across campaigns, keywords, placements, devices, locations and audiences.

PMax prompts

Use these when Performance Max feels like a black box. They help you review asset groups, feed quality, audience signals, search themes, landing pages and reporting gaps.

Audit prompts

Use these before a bigger account review, client call or internal decision. They structure what is working, what is risky, what needs more data and what should change first.

How to use these Google Ads prompts

The quality of the answer depends on the quality of the context you give to the model. Before using a prompt, collect the key facts about your business, offer, audience, budget, campaign structure, current results and constraints.

Use specific numbers and examples instead of broad labels. For example, e-commerce store selling premium dog food with a 150 PLN average order value and 15,000 PLN monthly ad budget will produce a better answer than online shop.

If you do not know what information to put into a placeholder, use reverse prompting: paste the prompt into your AI tool and ask what data it needs from you to produce a useful answer. Then fill in the missing context and run the prompt again.

If you want to go deeper after downloading the PDF, these guides connect the prompt pack to a broader Google Ads workflow:

When Google Ads prompts are not enough

Prompts are useful, but they are still manual work. You need to collect the data, paste it into the model, verify the answer, decide what matters and turn it into action.

That is why the bigger operating model matters. If you want to understand how AI fits into Google Ads strategy, Smart Bidding, Performance Max, conversion tracking and account diagnosis, read the AI in Google Ads agency playbook.

AdLume is being built around the same idea: fewer noisy account checks, clearer diagnosis and better next actions for advertising accounts.
