google_ads_negative_keywords_suggest
Analyze recent search-term performance to identify keywords wasting spend above a target CPA, and get suggested negative keywords with rationale. Read-only suggestions for review before applying.
Instructions
Analyses recent search-term performance and returns suggested negative keywords that waste spend relative to a target CPA. Returns candidates with text, suggested match_type, spend, conversions, and rationale (e.g. 'spend > 3x target CPA, 0 conversions'). Read-only — suggestions are not applied. Use google_ads_negative_keywords_add / add_to_ad_group to materialize the ones you want after operator review.
Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| period | No | Analysis window for the search-term sample. Default 'LAST_30_DAYS'. This tool also reads the equal-length window immediately before the one you request, so only fixed-length windows are accepted — calendar constants such as THIS_MONTH are rejected rather than silently replaced. Also accepts an explicit range in GAQL spelling — "BETWEEN 'YYYY-MM-DD' AND 'YYYY-MM-DD'", both endpoints inclusive, in the account's time zone — for a window no trailing constant can reach (e.g. a single past calendar month). One asymmetry to know about: every constant except LAST_90_DAYS is resolved by Google Ads in the account's reporting time zone, whereas LAST_90_DAYS has no API constant and is expanded by mureo into the 90 days ending yesterday **on the server's date**, so its edges can differ by a day when the server and the account are in different zones. Pass an explicit range when the exact boundary matters. | |
| target_cpa | No | Target CPA in the account's currency. Search terms whose effective CPA exceeds this are flagged. If omitted, the campaign's configured target_cpa is used when available. | |
| ad_group_id | No | Restrict analysis to a single ad group. Omit to analyse the whole campaign. | |
| campaign_id | Yes | Campaign whose search terms are analysed. | |
| customer_id | No | Google Ads customer ID as a 10-digit string without dashes (e.g. '1234567890'). Optional — falls back to GOOGLE_ADS_CUSTOMER_ID / GOOGLE_ADS_LOGIN_CUSTOMER_ID from the configured credentials when omitted. |
