Best Google Ads Scripts for Customized Control

Scripts can intimidate you if you are not a programmer, at first sight, they intimated me anyway, so I decided to write this article to share my journey and findings. Let’s go!

Writing JavaScript requires knowledge and if you don’t have it, you may think it is impossible for you to implement Google Ads Script for your PPC Campaigns.

I didn’t know how to use JavaScript either, but I learned how to master Google Ads Scripts, so don’t worry if you are a beginner with this, let me show you some tricks which will get you up and running with scripts in a flash.  The good news is that the majority of Google Ads Scripts are available for free. You can copy, paste, and tweak if needed.

So why use Google Ads Scripts?

Google Ads Scripts can help you control your PPC Campaigns at scale. JavaScript code is key to being able to interact with external data and automate tasks that work for your benefit when it comes to advanced Google Ads practices. Therefore the empowering nature of the scripts allows you to dominate your Google Ads which will directly improve your ROAS.

What Are Google Ads Scripts? 

Very shortly put, Google Ads scripts are bits of code that can do wonders for your Google Ads campaigns. There’s nothing magical about those wonders though, mind you. These bits of scripts will tell Google Ads that you need some things done in a certain way, and in return, this will ease your job as a PPC marketer, so that you can focus on what matters.

PPC scripts can run a variety of automated tasks, from pausing ads with a low click-through rate to complex stuff like creating heat maps based on the times of the day your ads are most clicked on. 

Types of Google Ads Scripts 

Without going into too much detail (and giving you a headache), you should still know there are different types of Google Ads scripts. Namely, these are some of the most common ones: 

  • Third-party data scripts
  • Pausing/ Deleting scripts
  • Bid modifiers/ bidding/ budgets scripts
  • Alerts scripts
  • Tools scripts
  • Reporting scripts
  • Maintenance scripts
  • Labeling scripts
  • Tracking scripts
  • Keyword scripts
  • Shopping Campaign scripts
  • Google Display Network Scripts

While this might not be an exhaustive list of types of Google Ads scripts, it is, however, a pretty good point of orientation. In short, Google Ads scripts falling in the aforementioned categories will help you tremendously — which is precisely what we’ll chat about in the following section of this article. 

With Google Ads Scripts, you can put yourself in the driver’s seat and manage your marketing activities in a way that substantially enhances your performance.

Benefits of Using Google Ads Scripts

Marketers have much to gain from getting well-acquainted with Google Ads Scripts. Learning this skill will boost your results and open new opportunities for your PPC marketing career, now or later.

The best Google Ads scripts perform many tasks for you including:

  • Creating reports
  • Producing tools for analysis
  • Sending automatic alerts and notifications
  • Automatically update your bids
why use google ads scripts

That’s just a hint of what ads scripts can do for you. When you become more skilled at layering on ads scripts, it will save you time from doing the tasks shown in the bulleted list.

The longer list of benefits of using Google Ads scripts includes the following: 

  • They help you optimize performance by moving your focus point from repetitive actions (which would be hell to sift through manually) to concentrating on data and campaign adjustments based on it 
  • They help you keep your Google Ads campaigns neat and organized 
  • They can provide you with insight Google Ads might not be able to provide on its own 
  • They can remove tediousness and super-dull tasks you have to run as a PPC marketer by simply automating them 
  • They can help you remove human error (because sometimes, the aforementioned tedious tasks can very easily lead to mind slips)
  • They help you be more productive (if you have ever dreamed of having something work for you as you sleep, this is your way to shine, fellow PPC marketer!)
  • They help you focus less on reports and more on strategy (which, let’s face it, is the most interesting part, right?)
  • They are pretty cool to show off (can you hear the “OMG, you’re a genius!” directed at you yet?)

When you can save time by automating tasks, it frees up lots of time for the other items on your “to-do” list like doing keyword research, analyzing data, developing bid strategies, and more.

Google Ads Scripts Components

If you know the coding basics you can easily tell that a Google ad script consists of different components. As a PPC advertiser, you don’t have to necessarily understand the ins and outs of these scripts but you should know the basics.

Why?

Because it helps you identify components and this helps in tweaking and adjusting scripts. If you don’t know what a function or a variable is, you’ll be left with one option – use the script as-is.

Or send emails (and reminders) to the script creator for a minor tweak that you need in the script.

Let’s figure out the core components of an ad script so that you can identify these components, know what each does, and make basic-level tweaks yourself:

  1. Functions
  2. Variables
  3. Objects and entities
  4. Methods
  5. Selectors.

1. Functions

A function or a procedure is used to achieve a specific task in the script. It consists of all the instructions and the crux of any script you’ll see. A function is easy to find in an ad script because it goes by its name “function” and it is followed by parentheses “()” that may or may not consist of parameters. The code that this function executes is enclosed inside the curly brackets “{}”.

Here is an example:

Google Ads Scripts components

A single ad script can have several functions and each one of them performs a different task. For example, the above function gets a list of campaigns that have a particular label text. You can get an idea of what a function does from its name and the parameters that it is using.

2. Variables

A variable is a container that stores variable data. These are created by the coders and being variable, they vary greatly. Variables are represented as “var” that’s followed by the name of the variable:

Google Ads Scripts variables

3. Objects and Entities

The objects and entities are the building blocks of JS. An object is a standalone collection of entities. An entity refers to any table or a row or a column in a database. Google Ads has identified all the entities that developers can use in scripts. Here is a list of the entities.

Each entity in this list belongs to an object. Google Ads has four objects: AdsApp, SpreadsheetApp, MccApp, and UrlFetchApp. These objects and entities are predefined and can’t be changed by the coders.

If you click any entity from the list above, you’ll see what object it belongs to along with a list of methods:

Google Ads Scripts Objects and Entities

Objects and entities are joined by a “.” and here is how these two work together in a script:

Google Ads Scripts Objects and Entities joined

4. Methods

Methods represent tasks that are used as commands in scripts. The methods are used for fetching, querying, and accessing information. Google Ads has a complete list of methods available here. You can see methods, their types, and what it does in this list:

Graphical user interface, application

Description automatically generated with medium confidence

5. Selectors

These are used to filter data that you want to access. Selectors act as advanced filtering options (if you have ever used advanced search, you’ll know what I mean).

Here is an example:

Google Ads Scripts Selectors

This code uses the “with” selector to get campaigns with their IDs.

Here is another example:

Google Ads Scripts Selector Example

It defines the selection criterion for getting a list of campaigns that are enabled or paused. Here is a list of the jQuery selectors to help you understand and tweak scripts as needed.

Here’s a look at my top 150 most useful Google Ads Scripts, conveniently divided by sections.

How to Use Google Ads Scripts 

Most people run scared when they hear the word “code” (and yes, digital marketers are people too).

1. Copy the code from wherever you are taking it and go to your Google Ads account. Click Tools & Settings in the top right of your account dashboard. Click Scripts under Bulk Actions:
