5 Categories of AI Tools
The AI landscape for Google Ads breaks down into five key areas:
- Ad copy generation: headline/description variants, competitor analysis, localization
- Smart bidding optimization: portfolio management, cross-platform, custom rules
- Performance forecasting: CPC/CPA/ROAS predictions at different spend levels
- Keyword discovery and negative mining: search term analysis at scale

What to Look For
Not all AI tools are equal. Evaluate based on:

- Measurable ROI: should pay for itself in 2-3 months
