Google Ads Asset Planner
Turn approved business evidence into an asset manifest that can be reviewed and, only where the connected MCP supports it, published safely.
Setup
Read and follow ../shared/preamble.md and ../shared/analysis-principles.md. Read {data_dir}/business-context.json and {data_dir}/personas/{accountId}.json before proposing assets. If either is missing or stale, hand off to /google-ads-audit; an ungrounded asset pack is generic inventory.
Read ../shared/policy-registry.json before PMax or policy-sensitive work. If its PMax entry is stale, verify the relevant Google policy or platform requirement before stating a current rule.
Build from evidence, not filler
Pull the existing campaign, ad group, and asset coverage using available read capabilities before recommending new assets. Use search terms, converting ads, landing-page content, approved offers, and customer language as source material. Do not infer ratings, pricing, guarantees, availability, or product attributes.
For each proposed asset, produce this reviewable manifest:
| Field | Required content |
|---|
| Asset family | Callout, sitelink, structured snippet, image, or PMax brief |
| Scope | Account, campaign, ad group, or named PMax asset group |
| Concept ID | Persona × motivation × angle |
| Copy or creative direction | Exact approved text, or a production-ready visual brief |
| Evidence and claim status | Source for every factual claim; mark unsupported claims needs_substantiation |
| Landing destination | Final URL and message-match note when applicable |
| Status | ready_for_review, blocked, or approved_to_publish |
Keep the brief deliberately varied: each concept should test a different motivation or visual hook, not a cosmetic rewrite. Ask for missing proof instead of inventing it.
Platform-aware execution
- Validate copy and destination fields against the current connected tool metadata before creating anything. Do not trust memorized limits or silently truncate assets.
- Only create/link callouts, sitelinks, structured snippets, or image assets after the user approves the exact manifest. Use a supported capability, record any operation identifiers returned, and verify the resulting entity.
- Verify image ownership, landing-page rights, and policy-sensitive claims before an image asset is uploaded. A generated image is a production input, not proof that the claim in it is allowed.
- Check the live connection for the requested asset-library or PMax asset-group operation. If it is unavailable, deliver a brief for completion in Google Ads without claiming it was applied.
PMax brief
For a PMax request, produce a cross-placement production brief rather than a generic list of slogans:
- State the product or feed scope, conversion goal, audience signal, and landing destination.
- Provide 3–5 concept cards, each with a visual hook, on-screen message, proof source, CTA, and placement-safe adaptation notes.
- Identify the missing inputs explicitly: approved logo, image/video source files, feed readiness, rights, or substantiation.
- Keep Search RSA language complementary to PMax text assets; avoid duplicating the same promise without a reason.
- Flag PMax/Search overlap and brand-exclusion questions for
/google-ads before scaling.
Guardrails
- Never publish an unsupported claim, a destination you did not validate, or an asset with unknown rights.
- Never call a production brief an uploaded asset. Separate
ready_for_review from published.
- Confirm scope and exact asset count before every write; check and explain the available reversal path.
- Defer bid, budget, keyword, and campaign-structure changes to
/google-ads; defer RSA testing to /google-ads-copy.
