New from Arclight Digital

Google Ads management,
run by AI, signed off by humans.

Daily anomaly monitoring. Weekly Claude-powered optimisation. Every change reviewed by a human before it goes live. From $399 a month — roughly half what a traditional agency charges.

No lock-in contract. Month-to-month. Cancel anytime.

The Problem

Most ad agencies are slow and expensive

You hire an agency, pay $1,500+ per month, and an account manager glances at your account once a week. Half the optimisation opportunities get missed. Costs creep up. Results plateau.

Slow iteration

Weekly check-ins at best. Anomalies and budget overruns can run for days before anyone notices.

Expensive overhead

You're paying for someone's office, their account manager's salary, their layers of admin — not for the work itself.

Opaque reporting

Generic monthly PDFs full of jargon. You can't tell what was actually changed, why, or whether it worked.

How It Works

Daily AI analysis. Weekly human approval. Continuous optimisation.

A closed loop that catches more opportunities than a human alone — without ever giving an algorithm a blank cheque.

01

Daily snapshot & anomaly check

Every night, we ingest your campaigns, ad groups, keywords, ads, and conversion data into a private database. An automated check flags spend spikes, CTR drops, conversion drought, and budget pacing issues.

High-severity anomalies trigger an instant alert. No more paying for a wasted week.

The Magic Step
02

Weekly Claude-powered review

Each week, Claude analyses 90 days of performance against your business goals and proposes specific changes — pause this keyword, increase that bid, add these negatives, test this ad copy.

Every recommendation comes with reasoning, supporting data, and a one-click approve / reject / modify.

03

Approved changes go live

A human reviewer (us) approves each recommendation. Approved changes are pushed to Google Ads via the official API and logged with full before/after state.

If anything underperforms, one-click rollback restores the previous state in seconds.

FAQ

Common questions

How is this different from a traditional Google Ads agency?

Traditional agencies charge $1,500+ per month and an account manager glances at your account once a week at best. We use AI to monitor your account daily and surface specific optimisation opportunities every week, with every change reviewed and approved by a human before it touches your account. You get faster iteration, more attention, and pay roughly half what a traditional agency charges.

Does the AI make changes to my account automatically?

No. Every recommendation — pausing a keyword, adjusting a bid, adding negatives, testing new ad copy — is reviewed and approved by a human before it touches your Google Ads account. Every approved change is also logged with a one-click rollback, so anything underperforming can be reverted in seconds.

Is there a lock-in contract?

No. Arclight Ads is month-to-month with no minimum term. Cancel any time with 30 days notice. You retain full ownership of your Google Ads account, audit log, and historical data.

What does the weekly review actually look at?

Search terms reports for new negative keyword opportunities, keyword performance against 90-day baselines, ad copy fatigue, budget pacing, conversion tracking integrity, device and audience bid adjustments, and quality score trends. Each recommendation comes with the supporting data and the AI's reasoning, so approving or rejecting takes minutes, not hours.

Do I need to switch from my current ad agency immediately?

No. Google Ads accounts can be co-managed by multiple agencies through the standard manager account (MCC) link. We typically run alongside your existing agency for the first 30 days as a no-risk parallel test, then you decide whether to keep us, them, or both.

What ad platforms do you support?

Google Ads (Search, Shopping, Performance Max, YouTube, Display) on all tiers. Meta Ads (Facebook + Instagram) on the Scale tier. Microsoft Ads, LinkedIn Ads, and TikTok Ads available on the Enterprise tier — get in touch for custom pricing.

How quickly do I see results?

Onboarding takes 3–5 business days (account linking, baseline analysis, brand brief). The first weekly review fires the following Sunday. Most clients see measurable changes in cost-per-conversion within 30 days as wasted spend is trimmed and bids are reallocated. Full impact is usually visible by the 60–90 day mark.

Who actually owns the account and the data?

You do. Your Google Ads account stays in your name. We connect through Google's standard manager account (MCC) link, which you can revoke at any time. On cancellation, we hand over a full export of the audit log, recommendations history, and 90-day baseline data so you keep everything we built.
