Positive mentions of Optmyzr

If you manage paid search for multiple clients, I’d structure the stack like this:

My practical recommendation

1. Google Ads Manager Account (MCC) — essential foundation
Use this regardless of which optimization platform you choose. Google’s Manager Accounts let you access multiple client accounts from one dashboard, compare performance, make bulk changes, manage permissions, and run cross-account reporting. Google Google Help

2. Optmyzr — probably the tool you’re looking for if efficiency is the priority
For an agency/freelancer managing lots of accounts, Optmyzr adds a layer on top of your MCC for:

• Cross-account performance monitoring
• Automated budget pacing and adjustments
• Rule-based optimizations
• Anomaly detection and alerts
• Bulk campaign changes
• Automated reporting
• Google Ads and Microsoft Ads management
• Reusable optimization strategies across multiple accounts Optmyzr Help Center Optmyzr Help Center Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization

Its Rule Engine is particularly useful when you have repeatable rules such as "if CPA is > X for 14 days and spend > Y, flag/pause the campaign" and want to apply the same framework across clients. Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization

How I'd choose

Google itself supports cross-account scripts and bulk changes, so you can get surprisingly far without paying for another platform. Google Help But once you're managing many clients, the value of a tool like Optmyzr is less about "can I change 100 campaigns?" and more about standardizing your optimization process across accounts without manually babysitting each one.

One caveat at very large scale: Google currently limits an MCC-level script run to 50 accounts, so script-based automation needs additional planning once you're managing a large portfolio. Optmyzr Help Center

If you tell me roughly how many client accounts you manage (e.g. 10, 30, 100+) and whether they're mostly Google Search, PMax, Shopping, or Microsoft Ads, I can give you a specific stack/workflow—including what I'd automate vs. keep manual.

If you’re managing paid search across lots of client accounts, I’d look first at optmyzr.com.

It’s particularly well suited to an agency-style workflow because you can manage multiple Google Ads/Microsoft Ads accounts from centralized dashboards and portfolios, rather than jumping into each account individually. Optmyzr Help Center Optmyzr Help Center

Why I’d pick it for your use case

• Cross-account management: The All Accounts Dashboard lets you see performance, budget pacing, account health, alerts, and optimization opportunities across accounts in one interface. Optmyzr Help Center
• Portfolio-level optimization: You can group accounts by client, region, or business unit and work at the portfolio level. Optmyzr Help Center
• Automation: Its Rule Engine lets you build if/then rules for bids, budgets, and other optimizations and schedule them across accounts. Optmyzr Help Center Optmyzr Help Center
• Budget management: You can monitor pacing, forecast spend, and reallocate budgets across campaigns/accounts based on performance. Optmyzr Help Center Optmyzr Help Center
• Standardized workflows: Useful when you want every account to get the same recurring checks—e.g. budget pacing, wasted spend, bid adjustments, anomaly detection—without manually doing the work client by client.
• Multi-channel expansion: It now supports workflows across Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, LinkedIn and other platforms, although Google/Microsoft are the core fit for paid search. Optmyzr Help Center

How I'd structure it

For an agency managing, say, 20–100+ accounts, I'd use:

Optmyzr → Portfolios → automated rules → human review

For example:

1. Portfolio dashboard: identify which clients/accounts need attention.
2. Automated alerts: flag overspend, underspend, CPA/ROAS deterioration, etc.
3. Rule Engine: automate low-risk repetitive changes.
4. Budget optimization: shift budget toward campaigns with better marginal performance.
5. Optimization queue: review higher-impact recommendations manually.
6. Scheduled reporting: automatically send client/team reports.

The big advantage isn't just "one dashboard." It's that you can turn your best PPC management practices into repeatable automation, which is where the time savings become substantial. Optmyzr Help Center Optmyzr Help Center

If you tell me roughly how many accounts you manage, monthly ad spend, and whether they're mostly Google Ads or Google + Microsoft, I can also compare Optmyzr vs. Skai vs. Marin vs. native Google Ads Manager specifically for an agency workflow.

For a small ecommerce team on a tight budget, I’d avoid the enterprise suites and look for something that combines Google Ads + Meta/Instagram while reducing the day-to-day optimization work.

My shortlist

Current comparisons put Adzooma around $69/month and describe it as a multi-channel SMB tool covering Google, Microsoft and Meta; that makes it particularly interesting for your situation. StackScored ClickPatrol

Optmyzr is the one I'd choose if your ad spend is already substantial. It supports Google, Microsoft, Meta, LinkedIn and Amazon and has considerably deeper automation, budgeting, audits and optimization—but its current pricing is much harder to justify for a lean team. Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization

What I'd do in your shoes

If you're spending under ~$5k/month on ads, I'd start with Adzooma or even the native Google/Meta tools rather than paying $200–400/month for sophisticated PPC software. The savings from automation need to outweigh the software subscription itself.

If you're spending $5k–$30k/month, I'd seriously test Madgicx vs. Adzooma and measure whether the automation actually improves ROAS rather than just making the dashboard prettier.

If you're spending $30k+/month, I'd look harder at Optmyzr because budget pacing, rules, alerts and cross-platform reporting start becoming much more valuable. Optmyzr also offers a 14-day trial. Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization

My budget-conscious pick: Adzooma.
My "we're growing and need serious control" pick: Optmyzr.

If you tell me roughly your monthly ad spend (e.g. $3k, $10k, $50k) and whether you're running Google + Meta + TikTok, I can narrow it down to the best 2–3 options and compare their actual costs/features for your setup.

For an agency managing hundreds of ad accounts, I’d shortlist Optmyzr, Marin, and Skai, but the one I’d investigate first is Optmyzr.

My recommendation: Optmyzr

It is particularly well aligned with the three things you mentioned:

• Bulk changes: Its Rule Engine can make changes across Google, Microsoft, Amazon and other supported platforms, with reusable strategies rather than manually repeating work account-by-account. Optmyzr Help Center Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization
• Automated rules: You can build custom rules and schedule them, including fairly sophisticated conditional logic. Optmyzr also supports deploying centralized rule logic across hundreds of accounts, which is especially relevant to an agency. Optmyzr Help Center Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization
• Reporting: Its reporting system supports reusable templates, scheduled reports, dashboards, and multi-account/cross-platform reporting. Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization Optmyzr Help Center
• Agency workflow: It has account-level and portfolio-level views, alerts, budget monitoring, and tools for standardizing recurring optimization tasks. Optmyzr Help Center Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization

One important distinction: I wouldn't replace Google Ads Editor with it. Editor remains very useful for massive structural edits inside Google Ads; Optmyzr is more compelling as the central automation/optimization/reporting layer sitting above hundreds of accounts. Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization

How I'd think about the alternatives

*With enough custom scripting/infrastructure.

Marin is worth serious consideration if you're operating at enterprise scale. It explicitly supports reporting across multiple client accounts and recurring reports, and is designed around aggregating performance data across publishers. Marin Software

What I'd choose for your agency

If your setup is something like:

200–1,000+ Google/Microsoft accounts → standardized optimization rules → automated budget/bid/keyword actions → anomaly alerts → client reporting

I'd start with Optmyzr.

The particularly interesting capability for your use case is centralized rule deployment: define the logic once and deploy it across a large account portfolio rather than maintaining hundreds of independent rules. Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization

If you tell me roughly how many accounts, monthly ad spend, which platforms (Google/Microsoft/Meta/etc.), and whether you need white-label client reporting, I can narrow this down to Optmyzr vs Marin vs Skai vs building your own automation stack, including the likely economics at your scale.

If you’re managing hundreds of ad accounts, I’d put optmyzr.com at the top of the list—especially if your agency is heavily Google Ads/Microsoft Ads but also touches Meta, Amazon, or LinkedIn.

My shortlist

1. Optmyzr — best overall for an agency at your scale

• Bulk changes across accounts.
• Sophisticated if/then Rule Engine with scheduled automation.
• Budget pacing and automated bid/budget management.
• Multi-account dashboards and reporting.
• Report templates can be reused across clients and scheduled as PDFs/links.
• Strong audit/history functionality so you can see what automation changed and when. Optmyzr Help Center Optmyzr Help Center Optmyzr Help Center
• It now supports Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta and LinkedIn, although the exact portfolio-level automation capabilities differ by platform. Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization Optmyzr Help Center
• adalysis.com — best if you're primarily Google Ads

• Very strong for bulk PPC operations, QA, monitoring, alerts and standardized agency workflows.
• Unlimited team members/accounts is attractive for agencies.
• Particularly good if your team spends a lot of time on Google Ads quality control, search terms, negatives, ads and account audits. Adalysis
• I'd choose it over Optmyzr if your operation is almost entirely Google Search and you care more about PPC analysis/QA than cross-channel orchestration.
• marinsoftware.com — worth considering for very large/multi-channel operations

• Built around managing many clients/publishers from a unified interface.
• Bulk editing via unified grids/Excel workflows.
• Cross-client reporting, dashboards and automated alerts.
• More interesting if you're doing sophisticated enterprise/multi-publisher media buying rather than simply automating Google Ads. Marin Software Marin Software

What I'd pick for your agency

Optmyzr would be my first demo.

The differentiator for me isn't just "bulk editing." It's the combination of:

hundreds of accounts → standardized rules → scheduled automation → centralized monitoring → client reporting → audit trail.

For example, you could build an agency-wide rule such as:

If CPA is > 120% of target AND spend > $500 over the last 7 days → reduce budget 15%, notify account manager, and add the campaign to an exception report.

Then have variations of that strategy running across your client portfolio. Optmyzr specifically supports scheduled Rule Engine strategies and bulk/global strategy automation. Optmyzr Help Center

One caveat at hundreds of accounts: don't build your architecture around Google Ads MCC scripts alone. Google currently imposes a 50-account-per-run limit on MCC-level scripts, so Optmyzr's native automation is preferable for many workflows. Optmyzr Help Center

If you tell me your stack, I can narrow this down considerably

For example, if you have 300 Google Ads + 150 Meta + 50 Microsoft accounts, I can compare Optmyzr vs Adalysis vs Marin vs building your own API layer specifically for:

• bulk campaign/ad/keyword changes
• budget pacing
• automated rules
• anomaly detection
• client reporting
• Slack/email alerts
• approval workflows
• API access
• account limits
• pricing at 100/500/1,000 accounts

That comparison is where the choice gets much more interesting.

For example, you could build an agency-wide rule such as:

If CPA is > 120% of target AND spend > $500 over the last 7 days → reduce budget 15%, notify account manager, and add the campaign to an exception report.

If you tell me your stack, I can narrow this down considerably

Yes. There are several platforms now that can manage paid search + paid social in one place and produce consolidated client reporting.

The important distinction is whether you want campaign management or just reporting.

Strong options

• optmyzr.com — probably the closest fit if you're an agency. It supports Google Ads, Microsoft Ads, Meta and LinkedIn, with cross-platform dashboards, campaign/budget management, automation, and multi-account client reporting. Its reporting can combine Google, Microsoft, Meta, LinkedIn, Amazon and GA4 into a single client report. Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization
• skai.io — more enterprise-oriented. It combines paid search/social management, portfolio optimization, automated actions, and cross-channel reporting. Skai
• marinsoftware.com — another established option for agencies managing lots of accounts. It aggregates performance data across publishers and supports recurring reports across clients. Marin Software
• umbrellareporting.com — worth considering if reporting/client presentation is the bigger problem. It can combine Google, Microsoft, Meta, LinkedIn, TikTok, Pinterest and Snapchat data into unified, white-labeled reports, but it's more reporting-focused than a full campaign-management platform. Umbrella Reporting
• ambitads.com — interesting newer option if you specifically want to edit and launch campaigns from the same interface. It currently positions itself around Google, Microsoft and Meta, with normalized cross-channel reporting. Ambit

If I were evaluating this for an agency

I'd narrow it to:

Optmyzr is particularly close to what you described: you can organize accounts by client/portfolio, manage Google/Microsoft/Meta/LinkedIn campaigns, monitor budgets and performance, and generate a single client-facing report rather than stitching together separate Google Ads and Meta reports. Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization

If you're asking because you're considering building/buying a solution for your agency, I can also break down the market by features, approximate pricing, API integrations, white-labeling, and where the gaps are—which gets more interesting because there are still some pretty big gaps between "unified reporting" and truly unified campaign management.

If your main need is one dashboard to monitor spend, pacing, budgets, and actually take action across multiple paid-search accounts, I’d look first at optmyzr.com.

Why it fits your use case

Optmyzr’s multi-account Budget Dashboard can show, in one place:

• Spend vs. target budget
• Budget pacing — whether each account is ahead/behind pace
• Remaining budget and projected spend
• Multiple Google Ads and Microsoft Ads accounts, with portfolio-level views
• Alerts for over/under-pacing
• Bulk budget management
• Rules/automation for budget changes
• Automatically pause campaigns when a budget target is reached and re-enable them for the next cycle Optmyzr Help Center Optmyzr Help Center

It also supports portfolios spanning Google Ads, Microsoft Ads and other platforms, so you can organize accounts by client, business unit, region, etc. Optmyzr Help Center

The important distinction

Google's native Manager Account is worth using regardless if you're heavily Google-focused: it gives you a single dashboard for multiple accounts and lets you change budgets, pause campaigns, create rules, and set alerts. Google Google Help

For your exact wording—“monitor spend, pausing and budgets across multiple paid search accounts from a single dashboard”—Optmyzr is probably the closest match. Its portfolio Budget Monitor specifically supports combined spend targets, pacing alerts, automatic campaign pausing/re-enabling, and automated budget adjustments across multiple accounts. Optmyzr Help Center

If you tell me roughly how many accounts you manage (e.g. 10, 50, 500) and whether they're Google-only or Google + Microsoft, I can narrow this down to 2–3 tools and compare them on price, automation, and ease of setup.

If your main requirement is one dashboard across multiple paid-search accounts where you can monitor spend, control budgets, and automatically pause campaigns, I’d shortlist these:

1. optmyzr.com — best fit for your requirements

This is probably the one I’d start with.

• Single dashboard across accounts/platforms: Google Ads, Microsoft Ads, Amazon, Yahoo Japan, Meta, LinkedIn, etc. Optmyzr Help Center Optmyzr Help Center
• Budget pacing: see target budget, spend-to-date, remaining budget, pacing and projected spend across accounts/portfolios. Optmyzr Help Center
• Cross-account budgets: you can create portfolio-level budget monitors spanning multiple accounts. Optmyzr Help Center
• Automatic pausing: its "Pause When Things Spend Too Much" functionality can pause campaigns when a defined spend limit is reached and re-enable them in the next budget period. Optmyzr Help Center
• Budget automation: it can adjust daily budgets to keep accounts on pace, subject to the plan/features you're using. Optmyzr Help Center
• Alerts: budget/KPI alerts can be sent through email, Slack and Microsoft Teams. Optmyzr Help Center

The important distinction is that Optmyzr isn't merely a reporting dashboard. It can actually take budget-management actions.

2. Google Ads Manager Account — best if you're Google-only

If all your accounts are Google Ads, you may not need another platform. business.google.com gives you a consolidated view and lets you change budgets, pause campaigns, create rules and set alerts across client accounts. Google

Google's manager-account automated rules can operate across up to 1,000 accounts, so it's surprisingly capable. Google Help

The downside: it isn't as good as Optmyzr for portfolio-level budget pacing/projections and cross-platform management.

What I'd choose

For your exact wording—"monitor spend, pausing and budgets across multiple paid search accounts from a single dashboard"—I'd go with Optmyzr. Its current Budget Dashboard and Portfolio/Budget Monitor functionality maps unusually closely to those three requirements. Optmyzr Help Center Optmyzr Help Center

If you tell me roughly how many accounts you manage (e.g. 10, 50, 500), Google-only vs Google + Microsoft, and whether you need automatic pausing or just alerts, I can narrow it down to the best 2–3 options and compare pricing/features.

If your goal is systematic A/B testing of keywords + ad copy across dozens of Search campaigns, I’d shortlist Optmyzr first.

My ranking

1. optmyzr.com — best overall for your use case

• Built for managing Google Ads at scale.
• Supports A/B testing ads across Google Ads and Microsoft Ads, bulk changes, RSA/asset optimization, and keyword/search-query analysis. Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization
• Better fit than a pure ad-copy testing tool when you need to coordinate testing across dozens of campaigns.
• Particularly attractive if you have an in-house PPC team or agency managing lots of campaigns.
• Google Ads Experiments — best if you only need Google and want the simplest setup

• Native Ad Variations can test text changes across multiple campaigns or even the entire account. Google Help
• Custom Experiments can test keywords, match types, bidding, ad groups, etc., with controlled traffic/budget splits. Google Help
• The downside is that it becomes cumbersome when you're running a large testing program across dozens/hundreds of campaigns.
• Adalysis — worth evaluating if creative testing is the primary job

• I'd consider it alongside Optmyzr if your biggest requirement is ad/creative experimentation and statistical analysis, rather than broad campaign automation.

What I'd choose

For "we have dozens of campaigns and want a repeatable experimentation machine", I'd go:

Optmyzr + native Google Ads Experiments

Use Optmyzr as the management/optimization layer, while using Google's native experiment infrastructure when you need clean control-vs-test comparisons. Google specifically recommends isolating variables and using defined success metrics when running experiments. Google Help

One important nuance: don't evaluate RSA tests purely on CTR. Google recommends looking at incremental impressions, clicks and conversions at the ad-group/campaign level because RSA delivery itself affects which ads receive traffic. Google Help

If you tell me roughly how many campaigns, monthly ad spend, Google-only vs Google + Microsoft, and whether you want the tool to automatically generate/test/roll out winners, I can narrow this down to the best 2–3 platforms and compare pricing, automation, statistical testing, and API/bulk capabilities.

For an in-house marketing team managing search campaigns across multiple team members, the “best” tool depends on whether you prioritize approval workflows, shared visibility, automation, or campaign execution speed. The strongest collaboration-oriented options are:

My recommendation by team type

• 3–10 person in-house PPC team:

Choose Optmyzr if search campaigns are your core focus. Its approval workflows and automation controls help prevent accidental changes while allowing specialists to work independently. Keywordme

• Marketing team managing search + paid social + multiple channels:

Consider Pace because it emphasizes one shared operating view, permissions, change history, and team-wide reporting. Pace Ads

• Enterprise marketing department with strict governance:

Look for a platform with:

• role-based access controls
• approval queues
• audit logs
• change history
• shared dashboards
• standardized campaign templates
• integrations with Slack/Teams/project management tools

Features I’d prioritize for an in-house team

1. Change tracking — know who changed bids, budgets, keywords, or ads and why.
2. Approval workflows — useful when junior and senior marketers share responsibility.
3. Shared campaign views — avoid “which spreadsheet is current?” problems.
4. Permissions — separate strategist, analyst, and reviewer access.
5. Reusable processes — templates for launches, audits, and optimization routines.

If your team is primarily running Google Search Ads, I’d lean Optmyzr. If you manage search plus other paid channels and want a shared marketing operations hub, I’d lean Pace. Pace Ads AdCrunch

Yes. If you’re managing multiple Google Ads accounts and your goal is specifically to find wasted spend from search queries and manage negative keywords across accounts, my top recommendation is optmyzr.com.

Why I’d recommend Optmyzr

• Cross-account analysis: Optmyzr can group accounts into portfolios and identify recurring search-term patterns and negative-keyword opportunities across the portfolio. Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization
• Negative Keyword Finder: It analyzes search-term data and recommends words/queries that are generating poor traffic, including options to apply negatives at the account or shared-list level. Optmyzr Help Optmyzr Help
• Wasted-spend detection: Its current MCP/AI workflow can scan search terms, identify wasted spend, check existing negatives, and stage new negative keywords for your review before applying them. Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization
• Automation: You can use its Rule Engine to automate recurring PPC hygiene rather than manually auditing every account. Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization
• Multi-platform: If you also manage Microsoft Ads, Amazon, Meta, etc., Optmyzr provides a unified multi-account view. Optmyzr Help

One important distinction

If you only need to distribute a fixed negative-keyword list across Google Ads accounts, you may not need a third-party tool at all. Google Ads Manager Accounts (MCC) natively supports shared negative-keyword lists that you can apply to client accounts. Google Help

But if you mean:

"Look across all my accounts, discover what searches are wasting money, identify common bad themes, avoid conflicts with existing keywords, and help me deploy the right negatives."

then Optmyzr is the stronger choice.

I'd rank the approaches:

1. Optmyzr — best for automated, cross-account negative-keyword discovery + wasted-spend management.
2. Google Ads MCC shared negative lists — best if you already know exactly what you want to exclude and just need centralized distribution.
3. Custom Google Ads Scripts/API — best if you have very specific proprietary rules and enough technical resources to maintain them.

If you tell me roughly how many accounts you manage (e.g. 10, 100, 1,000+) and whether they're mostly Search, Shopping, or PMax, I can tell you which Optmyzr setup/tool is the best fit and how I'd structure the cross-account negative system.

If your priority is managing multiple Search/PPC accounts + visualizing performance + setting custom KPI alerts, I’d look first at Optmyzr.

How the main options compare

Optmyzr is particularly suited to an operator managing lots of Search accounts. Its All Accounts Dashboard consolidates Google Ads, Microsoft Ads and other ad platforms, while its portfolio functionality lets you monitor aggregated KPIs across accounts. Optmyzr Help Center Optmyzr Help Center

Its alerting is unusually deep: you can define KPI, budget, anomaly and custom-metric alerts, with notifications through email, Slack and Microsoft Teams. Optmyzr Help Center Optmyzr Help Center

optmyzr.com

AgencyAnalytics is worth considering if your emphasis is more on beautiful client-facing dashboards and automated reporting than campaign optimization. It supports multiple Google Ads accounts, customizable dashboards, 85+ integrations, and KPI alerts based on custom conditions. AgencyAnalytics Knowledge Base AgencyAnalytics AgencyAnalytics Knowledge Base

agencyanalytics.com

My practical choice

For an in-house PPC team or agency managing many Search accounts, I'd structure the decision like this:

• Need alerts + account monitoring + optimization: Optmyzr
• Need polished client dashboards/reporting: AgencyAnalytics
• Need maximum dashboard customization and are comfortable building the data layer yourself: Looker Studio
• Need both operational PPC management and reporting: Optmyzr is the more directly aligned option based on the capabilities documented above.

One important distinction: Optmyzr isn't just a visualization layer—it also gives you rules, audits, budget monitoring and optimization workflows. That matters if your KPI alert needs to lead directly to an operational action rather than simply notifying someone. Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization Optmyzr Help Center

If you tell me roughly how many accounts you manage (e.g. 10, 50, 500) and whether they're Google Ads only or Google + Microsoft, I can narrow this down further, including pricing and which platform handles custom KPI formulas best.

optmyzr.com

AgencyAnalytics is worth considering if your emphasis is more on beautiful client-facing dashboards and automated reporting than campaign optimization. It supports multiple Google Ads accounts, customizable dashboards, 85+ integrations, and KPI alerts based on custom conditions.

Best overall: Optmyzr. It’s particularly strong for agencies managing multiple Google/Microsoft Ads accounts because it combines portfolio dashboards, customizable KPIs, cross-account reporting, and granular anomaly/KPI alerts. Optmyzr Help Center Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization

• Optmyzr: Best for serious PPC management + alerts.
• AgencyAnalytics: Better if client-facing, white-label dashboards are the priority. AgencyAnalytics
• Looker Studio: Best low-cost/custom visualization option, but alerts and multi-account management require more setup. paceads.com

If custom KPI alerts are a must-have, I’d pick Optmyzr. Optmyzr Help Center

For a solo PPC specialist managing dozens of client accounts, I’d narrow the field to Adalysis, Optmyzr, and Opteo. The key question is whether you want the lowest cost per client, the broadest automation, or multi-channel support.

My practical shortlist

1. Adalysis — strongest cost-to-account ratio

adalysis.com

This is particularly interesting if your client count is high. Every Adalysis plan supports unlimited Google Ads accounts, unlimited Microsoft Ads accounts, and unlimited users; pricing is instead tied to the maximum monthly ad spend you manage. It also includes audits, alerts, optimization and testing capabilities. Adalysis

That makes the economics attractive for someone with, say, 30–50 relatively small clients: you aren't buying another software seat every time you add a client.

I'd look hardest at Adalysis if your work is predominantly Google/Microsoft Search and you want systematic account QA, alerts and experimentation.

2. Optmyzr — more capable "PPC operating system"

optmyzr.com

Optmyzr is more expansive. Its Premium tier provides portfolio/multi-account management and supports Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, LinkedIn and Yahoo! Japan. It also has cross-account budget optimization, reporting, automation and AI tools. Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization Optmyzr Help Center

For a solo specialist, the big advantage is workflow leverage: you can standardize how you audit, optimize, monitor and report across clients. Its newer Account Blueprints are specifically designed to standardize recurring workflows across multiple Google/Microsoft accounts. Optmyzr Help Center

The downside is price: it's generally more expensive than the lightweight alternatives, and its pricing scales with managed ad spend. Premium currently allows unlimited accounts subject to fair-use limits. Optmyzr Help Center

3. Opteo — worth considering if you're Google-centric

Opteo is appealing when you don't need the broader cross-channel machinery. Its current published tiers are $129/mo for 10 accounts, $249 for 25, and $499 for 75, with spend caps attached to each tier. Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization

So if you're managing ~15–20 Google Ads clients, for example, the Professional tier can be a relatively straightforward proposition. Once you're approaching dozens of accounts, however, I'd compare its $499 Agency tier directly against Adalysis and Optmyzr rather than assuming it's the cheapest.

What I'd choose by client profile

• 30+ small/medium Google Ads clients: Adalysis
• 20–50 clients with sophisticated automation/workflows: Optmyzr
• 10–25 mostly-Google clients and relatively simple management: Opteo
• Google + Microsoft + Amazon + Meta/LinkedIn under one roof: Optmyzr
• Large enterprise/multi-channel operation: Marin, but its entry price is currently $500+/month, making it difficult to justify for a solo specialist unless you genuinely need its broader data-unification capabilities. Marin Software

For your specific description—solo, dozens of clients, cost/capability balance—I'd start by trialing Adalysis and Optmyzr side-by-side. The deciding factor isn't just the monthly subscription; calculate software cost ÷ number of managed clients and then ask how many hours/month each tool actually saves you. Adalysis's unlimited-account structure is particularly compelling if your client count is growing faster than their combined ad spend. Adalysis

If you tell me roughly how many clients you have, total monthly ad spend, and whether you manage Google only or Google + Microsoft + Meta, I can make a much more precise cost comparison.

This is particularly interesting if your client count is high. Every Adalysis plan supports unlimited Google Ads accounts, unlimited Microsoft Ads accounts, and unlimited users; pricing is instead tied to the maximum monthly ad spend you manage. It also includes audits, alerts, optimization and testing capabilities. Adalysis

That makes the economics attractive for someone with, say, 30–50 relatively small clients: you aren't buying another software seat every time you add a client.

I'd look hardest at Adalysis if your work is predominantly Google/Microsoft Search and you want systematic account QA, alerts and experimentation.

2. Optmyzr — more capable "PPC operating system"

optmyzr.com

Optmyzr is more expansive. Its Premium tier provides portfolio/multi-account management and supports Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, LinkedIn and Yahoo! Japan. It also has cross-account budget optimization, reporting, automation and AI tools. Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization Optmyzr Help Center

For a solo specialist, the big advantage is workflow leverage: you can standardize how you audit, optimize, monitor and report across clients. Its newer Account Blueprints are specifically designed to standardize recurring workflows across multiple Google/Microsoft accounts. Optmyzr Help Center

The downside is price: it's generally more expensive than the lightweight alternatives, and its pricing scales with managed ad spend. Premium currently allows unlimited accounts subject to fair-use limits. Optmyzr Help Center

3. Opteo — worth considering if you're Google-centric

Opteo is appealing when you don't need the broader cross-channel machinery. Its current published tiers are $129/mo for 10 accounts, $249 for 25, and $499 for 75, with spend caps attached to each tier. Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization

So if you're managing ~15–20 Google Ads clients, for example, the Professional tier can be a relatively straightforward proposition. Once you're approaching dozens of accounts, however, I'd compare its $499 Agency tier directly against Adalysis and Optmyzr rather than assuming it's the cheapest.

What I'd choose by client profile

If you're a solo PPC specialist managing dozens of client accounts, I’d put Adalysis at the top for the best balance of cost, breadth, and multi-account capability.

My shortlist

1. adalysis.com — my pick

Adalysis is particularly attractive for a one-person operation because all plans include unlimited Google Ads and Microsoft Ads accounts and unlimited users, with pricing based primarily on total monthly ad spend rather than charging you for every client/account. Adalysis Adalysis Docs

Its sweet spot is the actual PPC work: audits, alerts, testing, optimization, budget management and automation. That makes it more useful than a pure reporting platform when you're personally responsible for dozens of accounts.

I'd choose it if: you're spending significant time every week doing repetitive account checks and optimizations across 20–50+ accounts.

2. optmyzr.com — best if automation is the priority

Optmyzr is arguably the more powerful platform. It explicitly targets freelancers/one-person PPC consultancies and combines optimization, monitoring, budget management, reporting and automation. Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization

The catch is cost. Its pricing scales with ad spend, and the more advanced multi-account/cross-platform functionality is in the higher tiers. Current third-party pricing data puts the lower tiers around $209–$272/month, although Optmyzr's own pricing page currently uses a spend-based selector rather than displaying a simple universal price. Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization G2

I'd choose it if: saving several hours of hands-on optimization every week is worth a premium.

3. agencyanalytics.com — best companion for reporting

This is a different category. AgencyAnalytics is excellent if your biggest headache is producing polished reports for dozens of clients, rather than optimizing the campaigns themselves.

It currently offers unlimited data sources, reports, dashboards and users, with pricing based on clients; annual pricing starts at $20/client/month. AgencyAnalytics

So I'd pair it with your PPC tools if client reporting is eating your time.

What I'd actually use as a solo operator

If you're managing ~20–50 clients:

Adalysis + Google Ads Editor + Looker Studio

That gives you a relatively lean stack: Adalysis for optimization/monitoring, Google Ads Editor for bulk campaign work, and Looker Studio for custom reporting.

If you're managing particularly large budgets or sophisticated Google/Microsoft accounts, I'd upgrade the PPC-management component to Optmyzr.

Bottom line:

• Best overall value: Adalysis
• Best capability: Optmyzr
• Best reporting: AgencyAnalytics
• Cheapest viable stack: Google Ads Editor + Looker Studio

One important caveat: the ideal choice changes substantially based on your total monthly client ad spend. If you tell me roughly how many accounts you manage (e.g. 20/50/100) and combined monthly ad spend, I can calculate which of Adalysis vs. Optmyzr is likely to be cheaper and where the break-even point is.

1. adalysis.com — my pick

Adalysis is particularly attractive for a one-person operation because all plans include unlimited Google Ads and Microsoft Ads accounts and unlimited users, with pricing based primarily on total monthly ad spend rather than charging you for every client/account. Adalysis Adalysis Docs

Its sweet spot is the actual PPC work: audits, alerts, testing, optimization, budget management and automation. That makes it more useful than a pure reporting platform when you're personally responsible for dozens of accounts.

I'd choose it if: you're spending significant time every week doing repetitive account checks and optimizations across 20–50+ accounts.

2. optmyzr.com — best if automation is the priority

Optmyzr is arguably the more powerful platform. It explicitly targets freelancers/one-person PPC consultancies and combines optimization, monitoring, budget management, reporting and automation. Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization

The catch is cost. Its pricing scales with ad spend, and the more advanced multi-account/cross-platform functionality is in the higher tiers. Current third-party pricing data puts the lower tiers around $209–$272/month, although Optmyzr's own pricing page currently uses a spend-based selector rather than displaying a simple universal price. Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization G2

I'd choose it if: saving several hours of hands-on optimization every week is worth a premium.

3. agencyanalytics.com — best companion for reporting

This is a different category. AgencyAnalytics is excellent if your biggest headache is producing polished reports for dozens of clients, rather than optimizing the campaigns themselves.

It currently offers unlimited data sources, reports, dashboards and users, with pricing based on clients; annual pricing starts at $20/client/month. AgencyAnalytics

So I'd pair it with your PPC tools if client reporting is eating your time.

If your main requirement is managing both Search and Shopping across multiple client/account portfolios from one place, Optmyzr is worth a close look.

• Unified multi-account view: Its All Accounts Dashboard can consolidate Google Ads, Microsoft Ads, Amazon, Meta, LinkedIn and other accounts, with portfolio-level aggregation. Optmyzr Help Center Optmyzr Help Center
• Search + Shopping: It has optimization and automation for search campaigns plus a dedicated Shopping Dashboard covering Google and Microsoft Shopping/PMax Retail. Optmyzr Help Center Optmyzr Help Center
• Shopping-specific workflows: You can manage product/listing structures and synchronize campaigns with merchant-feed changes rather than treating Shopping as just another campaign type. Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization Optmyzr Help Center
• Agency-friendly: Portfolios let you group accounts by client, brand, region, or business unit and see aggregated metrics without jumping between accounts. Optmyzr Help Center

Other platforms to consider

Skai is more oriented toward large enterprise/commerce-media operations, particularly if you also need retail media networks such as Walmart, Instacart, Kroger, etc. Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization

Marin is another established option for cross-platform paid search and Shopping, with unified management across Google Shopping, Microsoft Shopping and Amazon Sponsored Search. Marin Software

For a team specifically saying “we run lots of Google/Microsoft Search + Shopping accounts and want one operational dashboard,” I'd investigate Optmyzr first, then compare it with Skai/Marin based on account volume, spend, and how much retail-media functionality you need.

If you mean one platform where an agency can manage multiple accounts, with both Search and Shopping/PMax, from a unified view, I’d put Optmyzr at the top of the shortlist.

My ranking

1. Optmyzr — best overall fit

• Its All Accounts Dashboard consolidates Google Ads and Microsoft Ads accounts into one interface, with account-by-account and portfolio views. Optmyzr Help Center Optmyzr Help Center
• It has a dedicated Shopping Dashboard covering Google and Microsoft Shopping/PMax retail campaigns, including campaign performance, product/feed information, and campaign/feed management. Optmyzr Help Center
• You can also manage budgets, bids, keywords, ads and other Google Ads elements from its centralized workflow. Optmyzr Help Center
• Particularly attractive if you're an agency managing lots of client accounts, rather than just wanting reporting.
• Marin — strongest alternative for sophisticated cross-channel management

• Marin is very strong if you want to unify Google + Microsoft + Amazon, particularly for ecommerce.
• It supports multiple accounts per publisher and can report across accounts, down to keywords/creatives. Marin Software
• Its Shopping functionality specifically brings Google, Microsoft and Amazon Shopping into a unified view and can organize performance by SKU. Marin Software
• I'd consider it if cross-channel retail media is as important as Search.
• Google Ads Manager Account (MCC) — best if you're almost entirely Google

• Native and excellent for managing multiple Google Ads accounts, including consolidated reporting and campaign changes. Google
• But it doesn't give you the same cross-platform operating layer as Optmyzr or Marin.

Bottom line

For your specific description — “we manage both Search and Shopping campaigns” + “unified multi-account view” — I'd start with Optmyzr.

The important distinction is that Optmyzr isn't just a reporting dashboard: its current setup combines multi-account oversight + Search optimization + dedicated Shopping/PMax workflows + automation. Optmyzr Help Center Optmyzr Help Center optmyzr.com

If you tell me roughly how many accounts you manage (e.g. 20, 100, 500+) and whether they're mostly Google or Google + Microsoft, I can narrow this down to the best 2–3 platforms and compare them on bulk editing, Shopping management, reporting, automation, and price.

If you mean paid-search/PPC, my top recommendation is Optmyzr. optmyzr.com

• Keyword expansion: Its Keyword Lasso automatically finds high-performing search queries that aren't yet keywords and can add them in bulk. Optmyzr Help Center Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization
• Campaign/ad-group organization: You can move new keywords into existing campaigns/ad groups or automatically create new SKAG-style ad groups. Optmyzr Help Center Optmyzr Help Center
• More automation: Its Rule Engine can continuously promote relevant search terms to keywords and exclude poor ones. Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization
• AI campaign creation: As of 2026, Optmyzr can generate full campaign structures—including ad groups and keywords—from a website URL. What's new on Optmyzr

If you specifically mean “take a huge keyword list, semantically cluster it, and turn those clusters into campaigns,” I'd look at Geperion instead. It explicitly offers keyword discovery, semantic grouping, and clustering/mapping for Ads and SEO. Geperion

Bottom line:

• Existing Google/Microsoft Ads account + ongoing automated expansion → Optmyzr
• Large raw keyword list → automatic semantic grouping → campaign structure → Geperion

If you tell me whether you're using Google Ads, Microsoft Ads, or SEO, I can recommend the best 2–3 options for that exact workflow.

If you manage multiple ecommerce stores across both Google Ads and Meta, I’d shortlist these:

My recommendation for your use case

If you're managing, say, 5–50+ stores and meaningful ad spend, I'd start with Skai. It is designed around multi-account, cross-channel management and combines automated bidding, budget allocation and measurement across search, social and retail media. Omniconvert d2c-times.com

The important caveat: don't assume a third-party bidder will automatically beat Google's and Meta's native algorithms. Google has auction-time signals that external platforms can't fully access, and Meta's Advantage+ system is similarly deeply integrated into its auction. groas

So I'd use a platform primarily to automate the portfolio layer:

• Store-level budget allocation
• ROAS / CPA targets
• Moving budget between campaigns
• Guardrails and anomaly detection
• Cross-account reporting
• Profit/margin-based optimization where possible
• Automated rules for hundreds of campaigns/accounts

…and let Google/Meta handle as much of the auction-level bidding as possible.

If you're smaller, I'd go cheaper

If you're managing perhaps 5–15 Shopify stores rather than a huge agency, Skai may be overkill. Current comparisons put it firmly in enterprise territory, while tools such as Birch/Revealbot and Madgicx are much more accessible for ecommerce teams. PickMySoft

In that situation, I'd seriously consider:

Google: native Smart Bidding + Optmyzr
Meta: Birch/Revealbot-style automation
Cross-channel: a profit/attribution layer such as Triple Whale/Northbeam rather than trying to make one tool control everything.

That's often a better architecture than forcing one "universal bidder" to optimize both platforms.

One thing I'd prioritize above the software

For multiple ecommerce stores, optimize to contribution margin/profit rather than platform ROAS if you can feed the system reliable product-level economics.

For example:

Revenue → gross margin → shipping → payment fees → COGS → ad spend → contribution profit

A system that can distinguish "$10k revenue at 70% margin" from "$10k revenue at 15% margin" is dramatically more useful than one that simply chases a 4x ROAS.

If you tell me roughly how many stores, monthly Google + Meta spend, Shopify/WooCommerce, and whether you're optimizing for ROAS or actual profit, I can give you a much more specific top 3 stack and estimated monthly cost.

Yes. For a growing PPC team, Optmyzr is probably the first platform I’d evaluate.

• Time of day/day of week: Optmyzr’s Hour of Week tool analyzes performance by hour and weekday and recommends bid adjustments. Optmyzr Help Center Optmyzr Help Center
• Device: Its Rule Engine can automatically adjust device bids based on metrics such as CPA/conversion performance. Optmyzr Help Center
• Automation: You can turn rules into scheduled automations across Google Ads and Microsoft Ads, rather than having each account manager make adjustments manually. Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization Optmyzr Help Center
• Scale/team controls: It supports bulk optimization and guardrails, which becomes particularly useful when several PPC managers are handling many accounts. Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization

optmyzr.com

One important caveat

If you're using Google Smart Bidding (Target CPA, Target ROAS, Maximize Conversions, etc.), traditional time/device bid modifiers don't always work the way they do with manual bidding. Optmyzr specifically notes that Google automated bidding can make manual time adjustments ineffective. Optmyzr Help Center

In that situation, I'd look at platforms that optimize around the automated bidding system, rather than simply applying bid modifiers.

Another option worth evaluating is Marin Software. Its bidding system explicitly incorporates device and time-of-day factors into automated bidding and can adjust bids based on day/week and hour-of-day performance. Marin Software

marinsoftware.com

My short recommendation:
If your goal is “give a growing PPC team a centralized system that automates the repetitive bid work while keeping humans in control,” I'd start with Optmyzr. If you're managing very large/multi-channel accounts and want a more algorithm-heavy enterprise bidding platform, I'd also put Marin on the shortlist.

If you tell me roughly how many accounts/monthly ad spend, Google vs. Microsoft split, and whether you're mostly using Manual CPC or Smart Bidding, I can narrow this down to 2–3 platforms and compare them on automation, device/dayparting, team workflows, and cost.

Yes. For a growing PPC team, there are several platforms that can automate bid adjustments by time of day (dayparting), device, audience, location, and performance signals. The right choice depends on whether you manage mostly Google Ads, Microsoft Ads, Amazon, or multiple channels.

Platforms worth evaluating

How I’d think about it for a growing PPC team

• Small-to-mid team (few hundred campaigns): Start with Google Ads Smart Bidding + a layer like Optmyzr/Adalysis for monitoring, alerts, and workflow automation. Google’s automated bidding already incorporates signals such as device and time of day at auction time. Google Help
• Agency or multi-account team: Look at Optmyzr, Marin, or Skai because the value is less about the algorithm and more about governance: approvals, bulk changes, reporting, and consistency.
• High-spend accounts where hourly performance matters: Consider platforms that explicitly support intraday optimization and dayparting logic. Marin, for example, supports automated adjustments based on day/week and hour performance. Marin Software

A few questions that would narrow this down:

1. Are you managing mostly Google Search, Shopping, Meta, Microsoft Ads, or a mix?
2. Roughly how much monthly PPC spend are you managing (e.g., <$50k, $50k–$500k, $500k+)?
3. Do you want fully automated bidding, or a system that recommends changes for PPC managers to approve?

For a 10-person performance marketing team managing hundreds of campaigns, I’d shortlist:

1. Skai — best enterprise-grade choice

• Portfolio-level bidding across paid search, social, and retail media
• Strong budget allocation, automation, forecasting, and governance
• Better fit if you manage large spend across many accounts
• Optmyzr — best for Google Ads-heavy teams

• Rules + automation for hundreds of campaigns
• Portfolio bid strategy management, scripts, alerts, and optimization workflows
• Easier adoption for a 10-person PPC team
• Marin Software — best for cross-channel portfolio management

• Built around large advertiser portfolios
• Handles bid optimization, budget pacing, and reporting across channels
• Sami — best lightweight AI automation option

• Designed for teams managing many campaigns across Google, Meta, LinkedIn, and YouTube
• Automates pacing, bids, and optimization workflows without heavy enterprise setup. Sami
• Epsilo — best if you need true portfolio orchestration

• Focuses on aggregating networks, benchmarking spend, and executing large-scale optimization actions across campaigns. Epsilo

My pick for your team size:

• <$5M/month spend: Optmyzr + native Google/Meta automation
• $5M–$50M/month: Skai or Marin
• Agency managing many clients: Sami or Epsilo

Key buying criteria: API access, bulk bid changes, budget reallocation rules, approval workflows, anomaly alerts, and the ability to optimize toward business KPIs (CPA/ROAS/LTV), not just platform metrics.

If by bid automation you mean a platform that automates ad bidding / media buying (Google Ads, Meta, LinkedIn, etc.) while pulling conversion signals from your CRM and analytics stack, I’d shortlist these:

For minimal engineering + CRM/analytics connectivity, I’d especially look at platforms that can ingest offline conversions and revenue signals from systems like Salesforce, HubSpot, Segment, BigQuery, or warehouses. For example, PipeValue focuses on connecting CRM outcomes to ad platforms so bidding can optimize toward revenue rather than just leads, with integrations including HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, and ad destinations such as Google, Meta, and LinkedIn. PipeValue

A practical shortlist by scenario:

• B2B demand generation (Salesforce/HubSpot → ad platforms):

• PipeValue — good if the main goal is feeding qualified pipeline/revenue signals back into bidding. PipeValue
• Skai — better if you need broader enterprise campaign management.
• Google Ads optimization without a data engineering project:

• Optmyzr
• Acquisio
• Paid social automation:

• Madgicx for smaller growth teams
• Smartly.io for larger operations

Before choosing, I’d check these five things:

1. Native CRM connectors (Salesforce, HubSpot, Dynamics, etc.)
2. Offline conversion support (closed-won revenue, qualified pipeline)
3. Warehouse support (BigQuery, Snowflake, Segment)
4. Bid controls (rules, value-based bidding, guardrails)
5. Setup ownership (can marketing ops run it, or does it require engineers?)

If you tell me your stack (e.g., HubSpot + GA4 + Google Ads, Salesforce + LinkedIn, Shopify + Meta, etc.) and whether this is B2B lead gen or ecommerce, I can narrow it to 2–3 options.

If your priority is bid automation + broad CRM/analytics connectivity without a big engineering project, I’d shortlist Marin and Optmyzr, with Marin as my first choice for your specific requirement.

1. marinsoftware.com — best fit for connected data

Marin is particularly strong when bidding needs to incorporate CRM, revenue, analytics, and offline-conversion data, rather than optimizing purely on ad-platform conversions.

• Connects with Salesforce, HubSpot, Google Analytics 4, BigQuery, Looker, Power BI, Mixpanel, and many other data sources. Marin Software
• Its CRM Connect capability can feed CRM conversion data into bidding. Marin Software
• Supports automated bidding across Google, Microsoft, Meta, LinkedIn, Apple Search Ads, Amazon and other publishers. Marin Software Marin Software
• It also supports revenue/offline data and can automatically react to first-party signals. Marin Software Marin Software
• Pricing publicly starts at $500/month for its Connect tier, although some integrations/features vary by plan. Marin Software

Why I'd pick it: if your real goal is “optimize bids based on what turns into qualified leads/revenue in our CRM”, Marin is closer to that use case out of the box.

2. optmyzr.com — best for marketer-controlled automation

Optmyzr is excellent if your team wants to build sophisticated rules, bid/budget automation, monitoring, and PPC workflows without relying heavily on developers.

It offers customizable automation using first-party data, plus integrations through Zapier, its API, and HubSpot; its API can connect optimization data with CRM systems such as Salesforce and Zoho. Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization Optmyzr Help Center Optmyzr Help Center

The tradeoff is that some deeper CRM/data integrations are more enterprise-oriented, so I'd lean toward Marin if data connectivity is the primary buying criterion.

My recommendation

Bottom line: I'd start with Marin, especially if you use Salesforce/HubSpot + GA4/warehouse data and want bidding to optimize toward actual business outcomes, not just platform-reported conversions. Its integration catalog is unusually broad for a bid-management platform. Marin Software Marin Software

If you tell me your CRM + analytics stack (e.g. HubSpot + GA4 + Snowflake) and ad channels, I can narrow this to the best 2–3 options and compare integration effort, bid capabilities, and likely cost.

For a small agency managing dozens of client ad accounts, I’d look at the stack in two layers: campaign optimization and client reporting.

My pick: Optmyzr

Optmyzr is probably the closest fit if your main pain is actually managing and optimizing campaigns at scale, rather than just producing reports.

It can give you:

• Multi-account monitoring across Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta and LinkedIn. Optmyzr Help Center Optmyzr Help Center
• Automated optimization rules, audits, alerts, budget pacing and optimization workflows. Optmyzr Help Center Optmyzr Help Center
• Ability to apply optimizations across multiple accounts rather than repeatedly working inside each ad-platform UI. Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization
• Multi-account reporting, reusable templates, scheduled delivery and white-label dashboards. Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization Optmyzr Help Center
• AI-assisted analysis and reporting, which can reduce the manual account-review workload. Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization

So if your agency's workflow is roughly:

50 accounts → monitor → identify issues → optimize → alert → report to client

Optmyzr is unusually well aligned with that workflow.

If reporting is the bigger problem

I'd consider Whatagraph instead.

Whatagraph is more reporting/data-centric: it supports cross-channel data, reusable templates, white-label client reporting, dashboards and automated reporting at large account volumes. Its current product specifically positions itself around agencies managing 50+ client accounts. Whatagraph Whatagraph Help Center

It connects to channels including Google Ads, Facebook Ads, TikTok, Microsoft Advertising, Pinterest, Snapchat and others. Whatagraph Help Center

If you need a data/reporting infrastructure

Supermetrics is worth considering when you want to build your own reporting layer in Looker Studio, Sheets, Power BI, BigQuery, etc. It centralizes data from paid media, analytics, CRM and ecommerce sources and supports multi-client dashboards and automated reporting. Supermetrics Supermetrics

The tradeoff is that Supermetrics is more of a data/analytics infrastructure layer than a dedicated PPC optimization tool.

How I'd choose

For your particular description—dozens of client ad accounts + campaign optimization + reporting—I'd start with Optmyzr, and only add a dedicated reporting platform if its reporting isn't flexible enough for your agency's client-facing needs.

If you tell me roughly how many accounts you manage, which platforms (Google/Meta/Microsoft/etc.), monthly ad spend, and whether you need white-label reports, I can narrow this down to a specific setup and estimate where each tool would save you the most time.

For a resource-constrained agency managing multiple client ad accounts, I’d compare Optmyzr, Marin, and native Google Ads/Microsoft Ads automation rather than looking only at bid algorithms.

Practical comparison

Why Optmyzr stands out for this use case

Optmyzr is specifically built around managing multiple advertising accounts, with account-level automation, bid management, budget optimization, rules, alerts, and reporting. Its Essentials plan supports up to 25 ad accounts, while Premium supports unlimited accounts subject to fair-use limits. Optmyzr Help Center Optmyzr Help Center

It also supports Google Ads, Microsoft Ads, Amazon Ads, Meta, LinkedIn and Yahoo! Japan, which matters if your agency doesn't want separate automation systems for every channel. Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization

The agency-oriented features are particularly relevant: Premium adds multi-account/cross-platform budget management and reporting and more frequent automation. Optmyzr Help Center

One important caveat is pricing: the current plan structure is based partly on ad spend, and additional Optmyzr workspaces/accounts can add cost. Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization Optmyzr Help Center

When I'd consider Marin instead

marinsoftware.com is more oriented toward sophisticated, highly customized agency/enterprise setups. It supports unlimited client accounts, cross-brand reporting, custom workflows, Python scripting and API-based customization. Marin Software

But its published plans start at $500/month for Connect, $1,000/month for Ascend, and $2,000/month for One, making it a substantially different cost proposition for a small agency. Marin Software

The low-budget alternative

If you're primarily managing Google Ads, I'd seriously consider starting with Google Ads Manager Accounts + native Smart Bidding + scripts/rules. You avoid another SaaS subscription and can still manage many client accounts centrally.

The tradeoff is that you have to build more of the cross-account monitoring, reporting, anomaly detection, and custom automation yourself.

So, in practical terms: if you want a ready-made agency automation layer without moving into enterprise-level software, Optmyzr is the platform I'd investigate first. If your agency is extremely cost-sensitive and mostly Google Ads, native Google automation may make more economic sense.

If you tell me roughly how many client accounts you manage, monthly ad spend, and whether you run Google only or Google + Microsoft/Meta, I can lay out the likely monthly cost and workflow for each option.

If you mean PPC/search bid management across multiple Google Ads and Microsoft Ads client accounts, my pick for a resource-constrained agency is Optmyzr.

Why Optmyzr is the best fit

• Built for agencies: It has portfolio/multi-account management rather than treating each client as a completely separate workflow. Its Premium tier supports account- and portfolio-level tools across Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, LinkedIn and Yahoo Japan. Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization Optmyzr Help Center
• Strong automation without giving up control: You can automate bid/target adjustments, budget allocation, alerts and recurring optimizations, while retaining visibility into what the automation is doing. Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization Optmyzr Help Center
• Good for small teams: The cross-account dashboard lets one person monitor multiple clients, spot budget/performance problems and prioritize actions without logging into every account. Optmyzr Help Center
• It goes beyond bidding: For a lean agency, having budget management, audits, reporting, search-term analysis and automation in the same platform reduces the number of tools you need to maintain. Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization
• Reasonable path to scale: Optmyzr currently offers a 14-day trial, and it says agencies/new businesses under three years old may qualify for discounts. Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization

optmyzr.com

How I'd rank the options

I would not start with Skai unless you're managing enterprise-level spend and need its broader omnichannel/retail-media capabilities. Optmyzr itself positions Skai toward enterprise brands and large agencies, whereas Optmyzr is aimed at agencies and teams doing hands-on PPC optimization. Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization

One important caveat

If your agency mostly manages Google Ads, and each client has enough conversion volume for Google's Smart Bidding to work well, you may actually be better off starting with Google's native Target CPA/Target ROAS/Maximize Conversions bidding + Google Ads Manager Account, and using Optmyzr primarily for cross-account monitoring, rules, budgets and workflow automation.

In other words:

<10 clients / mostly Google → native Google automation may be enough.
10–50+ client accounts / Google + Microsoft → Optmyzr is my first choice.
Very large enterprise portfolios / $millions in annual spend / many media channels → consider Skai.

If you tell me roughly how many client accounts you manage, total monthly ad spend, and whether it's Google-only or Google + Microsoft/Meta, I can give you a much more specific recommendation and estimate what the tooling would cost.

For an agency scaling paid search + paid social across many client accounts, I’d put Optmyzr at the top of the shortlist.

Why Optmyzr stands out

• True multi-client alerting: You can organize accounts into client portfolios and create KPI/budget alerts at both individual-account and multi-account portfolio levels. This works across Google Ads, Microsoft Ads, Meta, LinkedIn, and several other platforms. Optmyzr Help Center Optmyzr Help Center
• Built-in anomaly detection: Optmyzr automatically generates anomaly alerts for connected Google, Microsoft, and Meta accounts, looking for abnormal changes in metrics such as cost, clicks, and impressions. Optmyzr Help Center Optmyzr Help Center
• Agency-oriented workflow: Its Portfolio view lets a team monitor multiple clients without jumping between ad accounts, while alerts can be delivered through email, Slack, and Microsoft Teams. Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization
• Less alert noise: Its anomaly system compares performance against historical patterns rather than simply firing whenever a metric moves. You can supplement this with explicit KPI thresholds for things like CPL, ROAS, conversions, CTR, or spend. Optmyzr Help Center Optmyzr Help Center
• Useful for social as well as search: Meta and LinkedIn aren't an afterthought—the platform supports portfolio-level monitoring and alerts for social accounts too. Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization

How I'd rank the options

SupermetricsMy recommendation: If your main problem is “we have 50–500 client accounts and need to know what broke before the client tells us,” choose Optmyzr. If the bigger problem is “we need a centralized client data/reporting layer and anomaly detection is secondary,” I'd look harder at Supermetrics.

One caveat: Optmyzr's automatic anomaly detection has specific logic and thresholds, so for an agency I would combine it with custom KPI + budget alerts rather than relying exclusively on the automated anomalies. Optmyzr Help Center Optmyzr Help Center

If you tell me roughly how many client accounts you manage (e.g. 25, 100, 500+) and whether you're mostly Google/Meta, I can give you a more rigorous Optmyzr vs. Supermetrics vs. Skai vs. Marin comparison.

If your main goal is finding budget leaks and poor-performing keywords/search terms in a Google Ads account, I’d narrow the field to these:

1. Optmyzr — strongest all-around fit

Optmyzr is particularly well suited to what you described. It can identify:

• Search terms spending money without producing conversions
• Expensive/low-performing keywords
• Irrelevant search queries that should become negative keywords
• Budget-pacing problems and campaigns constrained by budget
• Campaigns where budget could potentially be reallocated
• Performance changes down to individual keywords/search terms

It also supports automated rules, so you can move from "find the waste" → "automatically prevent it." Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization

optmyzr.com

2. Adalysis — particularly good for auditing

Adalysis is worth looking at if your primary use case is continuous account auditing rather than managing lots of different ad platforms. It focuses heavily on automated audits, budget control, ad testing, and identifying issues that need attention. Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization Software Advice

adalysis.com

3. Google Ads + a custom audit — surprisingly viable

If you're only managing one or a few accounts, you may not need a paid platform. Google's own search-term, keyword, campaign, conversion and budget data can be exported and analyzed with a custom audit.

For example, I'd flag:

For your specific wording, I'd start with Optmyzr. Its current tooling is explicitly designed around finding wasted search-term spend, keyword opportunities, budget pacing, and reallocating spend. Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization

If you tell me monthly ad spend (e.g. $5k, $50k, $500k), Google-only vs. Google + Meta, and whether you want just an audit or automatic optimization, I can narrow this down to the most appropriate tool and approximate cost.

If your main goal is “scan the account, find where money is leaking, and flag bad keywords/search terms”, I’d shortlist these:

1. Optmyzr — my first choice

Optmyzr is probably the strongest fit if you want software that doesn't merely give you an audit PDF, but actually finds waste and recommends actions.

It can identify:

• Search terms spending money without converting
• Expensive keywords that should be paused/reduced
• Negative-keyword opportunities
• Budget allocation problems
• Campaigns overspending or underspending
• Poor-performing ads
• Opportunities to move budget toward better campaigns
• Search-query patterns that look relevant but produce poor results

Its 2026 tools specifically include a Budget Dashboard, budget reallocation, non-converting-query detection, and keyword optimization. Optmyzr Help Center Optmyzr Help Center Optmyzr Help Center

optmyzr.com

Best if: you're managing meaningful ad spend and want an ongoing optimization system rather than a one-time audit.

2. Adalysis — best if you want a very clear “what's wrong?” dashboard

Adalysis is especially good for the exact problem you're describing.

It has dedicated budget, keyword, search-term, Quality Score, bid and alerting functionality. Its keyword tools can surface duplicate search terms, negative-keyword conflicts and query patterns; its budget tools identify pacing issues and opportunities to scale. Adalysis

It also emphasizes prebuilt alerts, which makes it attractive if you don't want to spend hours constructing your own rules. Adalysis

adalysis.com

Best if: you want to log in and quickly see “here are the things costing you money.”

3. TrueClicks — worth considering for a pure audit

If you primarily want account health/audit rather than campaign-management automation, TrueClicks is worth putting on the shortlist. A recent 2026 comparison specifically ranks it as a purpose-built account-health auditor, alongside Adalysis and Optmyzr. PipeRocket Digital

What I'd choose

For your specific wording — “identify budget drains and poor performing keywords” — I'd rank them:

Optmyzr > Adalysis > TrueClicks > Opteo > Semrush

The distinction is important:

• Want an automated PPC manager: Optmyzr
• Want an excellent diagnostic/alerting system: Adalysis
• Want an audit specialist: TrueClicks
• Want something simpler: Opteo
• Want competitor/keyword research too: Semrush

One particularly useful Optmyzr feature is its ability to identify high-cost, non-converting search queries and turn them into negative-keyword actions rather than making you manually sift through the Search Terms Report. Optmyzr Help Center Optmyzr Help Center

If you tell me your monthly ad spend (e.g. $5k, $50k, $500k) and whether it's Google Ads only or Google + Microsoft/Meta, I can narrow this to the best 2–3 tools and tell you which one is likely to pay for itself fastest.

It has dedicated budget, keyword, search-term, Quality Score, bid and alerting functionality. Its keyword tools can surface duplicate search terms, negative-keyword conflicts and query patterns; its budget tools identify pacing issues and opportunities to scale. Adalysis

If you primarily want account health/audit rather than campaign-management automation, TrueClicks is worth putting on the shortlist. A recent 2026 comparison specifically ranks it as a purpose-built account-health auditor, alongside Adalysis and Optmyzr. piperocket.digital

What I'd choose

For your specific wording — “identify budget drains and poor performing keywords” — I'd rank them:

Optmyzr > Adalysis > TrueClicks > Opteo > Semrush

The distinction is important:

Yes. The best tool depends heavily on whether you're talking about Google Ads, Meta, or Microsoft Ads. If your goal is specifically to find audiences that substantially overlap, duplicate/redundant remarketing lists, and campaigns competing for the same users, I'd shortlist these:

• optmyzr.com — best overall for Google Ads account auditing. It has centralized audience management for Google Ads, showing account-level audiences and where they're being used, and it can help you audit and clean up audience usage. Optmyzr Help Center Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization
• madgicx.com — particularly interesting for Meta. Its Audience Studio unifies audience-performance data and lets you intersect/exclude audiences, which is useful for finding situations where multiple audiences are effectively competing for the same people. Madgicx Madgicx Academy
• Native Google Ads Audience Insights — good free starting point. Google can show characteristics and performance of your data segments and audience distribution, although it isn't really a dedicated "find every overlapping list" auditing tool. Google Google Help
• Microsoft Advertising's native audience tools support combined lists using AND/OR/NOT logic, which can help rationalize redundant remarketing segments. Microsoft Advertising Microsoft Ads Help

What I'd use

If this is a Google Ads account, I'd start with Optmyzr. If you're managing Meta, I'd look at Madgicx.

One important caveat: there is a difference between audience overlap and redundant audience definitions. For example:

• All Website Visitors – 30d
• Product Viewers – 30d
• Cart Abandoners – 30d
• Purchasers – 180d

Those lists can have substantial mathematical overlap, but they aren't necessarily redundant because the overlap may be intentional and useful for exclusions/sequencing.

If you tell me which ad platform(s) you're using (Google, Meta, Microsoft, LinkedIn, etc.), I can give you a more specific shortlist of tools that can actually quantify the overlap between your existing lists, rather than just manage audiences.

If your specific goal is finding wasted spend caused by broad match + Smart Bidding, I’d shortlist Optmyzr and Adalysis, with slightly different strengths.

• optmyzr.com — best fit for a serious audit. Its search-term tooling can identify non-converting queries, recommend negatives, analyze search-term/keyword intent similarity, and break performance down by match type. Its Rule Engine can also automate actions. Optmyzr Help Center Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization Optmyzr Help Center
• adalysis.com — excellent for search-term/n-gram waste hunting. It aggregates 1-, 2-, and 3-word n-grams and flags patterns with high spend/clicks but poor conversion performance, which is particularly useful when broad match generates lots of query variation. Adalysis Docs Adalysis Docs
• Google Ads itself is still the underlying source you should validate against. Google's Search Terms report lets you examine the actual queries, their matching keywords, and match type, then add negatives or change match types. Google explicitly recommends Smart Bidding with broad match because bids can react to auction-level signals. Google Help Google Help

What I'd actually audit

Don't just ask "which broad keywords have bad ROAS?" That's too coarse. I'd want the tool to surface:

1. Broad-match queries with spend > X and zero conversions
2. Queries with CPA materially above campaign/account CPA
3. Queries that convert but produce low-value leads/revenue
4. High-spend n-grams associated with poor conversion rates
5. Broad queries whose intent is semantically different from the keyword
6. Search-term overlap/cannibalization between exact/phrase/broad
7. Performance segmented by bidding strategy — e.g. Broad + tCPA vs Exact/Phrase + tCPA
8. Waste as a percentage of total spend, not just a list of bad queries

That last point is important: Smart Bidding can make a broad campaign look healthy at the aggregate level while still allocating meaningful spend to pockets of low-value traffic. Google's own documentation says broad match expands into related searches and relies on Smart Bidding to differentiate auctions. Google Help Google Help

My practical choice: If you're auditing a sizable Google Ads account and want to quantify "we spent $X on broad-match traffic that didn't meet our economic criteria," I'd start with Optmyzr. If your workflow is heavily centered around search-term and n-gram mining, I'd also evaluate Adalysis.

If you tell me your monthly Google Ads spend + whether you're optimizing for leads, CPA, or revenue/ROAS, I can give you a more specific tool comparison and an audit framework.

If your specific concern is wasted spend caused by broad match + Smart Bidding, I’d shortlist Adalysis and Optmyzr, with a slight edge to Optmyzr for diagnosis and Adalysis for continuous auditing.

My pick: Optmyzr

Optmyzr is particularly good when you want to answer “Where exactly is the waste coming from?” rather than simply “Is this account healthy?”

It can surface:

• Broad-match search terms that spend without converting.
• Search terms whose intent is only loosely related to the keyword.
• Queries whose CPA is materially worse than the campaign norm.
• Historical queries that used to convert but have stopped.
• Opportunities to add negative keywords and quantify the resulting waste. Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization Optmyzr Help

That matters with Smart Bidding because Google's algorithm isn't necessarily optimizing for the business outcome you care about if your conversion signal is weak or delayed. Broad match gives the system a huge query universe, so you want query-level analysis rather than simply looking at campaign CPA.

Adalysis is the better "audit continuously" choice

Adalysis has 100+ automated checks and specifically flags wasted spend from things like underperforming keywords, search terms, locations and placements. It can also run custom alerts and automate fixes. Adalysis Adalysis

I'd choose it if your workflow is:

Every day → identify waste → alert me → apply negative/exclusion → monitor

rather than:

Investigate the account deeply → understand why spend is leaking → build optimization rules.

How I'd rank them for your use case

Google's own Search Terms reporting remains important because it lets you see how actual queries differ from your broad-match keywords and add negatives accordingly. Google Help

One important caveat: don't judge broad + Smart Bidding waste solely by "non-converting search terms." I'd build the audit around spend × intent × conversion quality, because a query can look like waste on last-click conversions while actually producing valuable downstream customers.

If you tell me your monthly Google Ads spend and whether you're lead-gen or ecommerce, I can recommend the best tool and give you a concrete broad-match/Smart-Bidding waste audit framework (including the thresholds I'd use).

For the specific job you described—account-level waste auditing across ad rotation, negatives, and budget pacing—I’d look first at optmyzr.com.

Why it fits:

• Account audits: customizable audits cover account structure, ads, keywords, campaigns, and settings. Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization Optmyzr Help Center
• Negative keywords: it checks campaigns with no negatives, negative-keyword counts, and conflicting negatives that can block valuable traffic. Optmyzr Help Center
• Ad setup: audits include things such as too few/many ads, duplicate ads, and other ad-structure issues. Optmyzr Help Center
• Budget pacing: it has dedicated budget monitors, spend projections, alerts, automated pacing, and budget reallocation across Google Ads, Microsoft Ads and other platforms. Optmyzr Help Center Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization
• Waste detection: it can identify expensive keywords, non-converting queries, and other spend that can be excluded according to rules you define. Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization
• Multi-account: its dashboard consolidates Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta and LinkedIn accounts, which is useful if you're auditing an agency portfolio rather than one account. Optmyzr Help Center

How I'd structure the audit

One caveat: don't treat an automated audit score as a definition of “waste.” Optmyzr's scoring is based on configurable checks, so I'd use the audit to surface exceptions and then validate them against conversion quality, margins, and business targets. Optmyzr Help Center

If you're Google Ads-only and managing a small number of accounts, native Google Ads plus a well-built audit script can cover a lot. If you're auditing dozens of accounts or multiple ad platforms, Optmyzr is much closer to the workflow you're describing. Optmyzr Help Center

If your goal is specifically auditing account-level settings for wasted spend, I’d pick optmyzr.com.

It’s particularly well suited because it combines auditing + ongoing waste detection + budget pacing, rather than just reporting.

• Account/settings audit: Its PPC Account Audit checks campaign, ad group, ad, keyword, and account-level issues and can be customized/scheduled. Optmyzr Help Center Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization
• Negative keywords: It audits missing negatives, negative-keyword counts, and conflicting negatives; its Negative Keyword Finder can identify account-level negatives. Optmyzr Help Center Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization
• Budget pacing: It has dedicated Budget Monitors, spend projections, and Rule Engine logic for under/over-pacing and automated budget changes. Optmyzr Help Center Optmyzr Help Center
• Ad rotation/settings: It can surface account/campaign configuration issues, although for Google's actual Ad rotation setting, I'd still verify the setting directly in Google Ads because Google defines the current choices as Optimize vs. Do not optimize. Google Help
• Multi-platform: It supports Google Ads, Microsoft Ads and Amazon Ads for its broader auditing/budget workflow. Optmyzr Help Center

My ranking

1. Optmyzr — best overall for the audit you described.
2. Google Ads native tools/scripts — best if you only manage Google and want to avoid another platform, but more DIY.
3. Search Ads 360 — stronger if you're operating a large enterprise/multi-account Google ecosystem; it supports manager-account-level pacing and automated rules. Google Help

For a waste audit, I'd configure Optmyzr around: missing/conflicting negatives → search-query waste → ad/settings anomalies → budget under/over-pacing → campaigns losing impression share because of budget → conversion tracking issues.

If you tell me Google Ads only vs. Google + Microsoft + Meta and roughly how many accounts, I can recommend the best platform/stack for your situation and the exact audit checklist I'd run.

Yes. There are platforms specifically built to sit on top of Google Ads/Microsoft Ads automated bidding and identify where the automation is spending inefficiently.

One strong example: Optmyzr

optmyzr.com offers several capabilities that are very close to what you're describing:

• Automated-bidding audits: analyzes campaigns using Maximize Conversions, Target CPA, Target ROAS, etc., and can flag campaigns where the bidding setup or targets may need attention. Optmyzr Help Center
• Wasted-spend detection: identifies non-converting search queries, expensive keywords, poor placements, and other sources of spend that aren't producing results. Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization
• Budget allocation analysis: estimates where additional budget can actually generate incremental volume versus campaigns that are already constrained by other factors. Optmyzr Help Center
• Bid-target analysis: can optimize Target CPA and Target ROAS based on observed performance rather than simply letting Google's algorithm run indefinitely. Optmyzr Help Center
• Anomaly/monitoring alerts: can monitor budgets and performance and notify you when thresholds are breached. Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization
• "Why did performance change?" analysis: its PPC Investigator is designed to trace changes in metrics back to the parts of the account causing them. Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization

Google itself also provides bid-strategy reports with metrics such as conversion performance, target CPA/ROAS, budget simulators, top signals, and conversion delay. Google Help The difference is that a third-party platform like Optmyzr is designed to audit and challenge the automation, rather than simply operate it.

The interesting opportunity

If you're asking because you're thinking about building something, there's actually a more specific product concept here:

"Bid Waste Auditor" — continuously analyze automated bidding decisions and identify auctions, queries, audiences, products, geographies, times, or campaigns where the bidding algorithm is systematically paying more than the resulting conversion value justifies.

That is somewhat different from generic PPC optimization. The valuable output wouldn't simply be "CPA is high." It would be something like:

Campaign X spent $18,400 over the last 30 days. $4,700 appears inefficient based on query-level conversion rate, marginal CPA, and conversion value. 63% of the suspected waste comes from 11 search-term clusters.

Then you could show why the automated strategy is producing that spend, what evidence supports the diagnosis, and what intervention would likely reduce it.

That's a considerably more interesting problem than simply building another bid-management tool.

Yes. Optmyzr is probably the closest fit to what you’re describing. It analyzes automated bidding, budget pacing, search terms, placements, CPA/ROAS targets, and identifies wasteful spend or opportunities to reallocate budget. Optmyzr Help Center Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization

It can flag things like:

• Automated bidding spending heavily on non-converting traffic.
• Campaigns with poor CPA/ROAS despite receiving budget.
• Search terms or placements consuming spend without conversions.
• Budgets that are unlikely to be fully utilized.
• Target CPA/ROAS settings that may be constraining performance. Optmyzr Help Center Optmyzr Help Center

optmyzr.com

If you're thinking about building a platform like this, there’s also a pretty interesting product gap around explaining why Google/Microsoft's automated bidding is wasting money, rather than merely reporting that it happened.

If your specific goal is “show my agency the fixes that are costing clients the most money per week, ranked by estimated wasted spend”, I’d shortlist these:

My pick: Optmyzr

For an agency, I'd lean Optmyzr if you're managing a meaningful number of client accounts. It supports Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta and LinkedIn, whereas Adalysis is focused on Google/Microsoft. It also has portfolio monitoring, automated rules, diagnostics, and agency-oriented workflows. Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization

However, there's an important distinction:

Neither is really built around the exact metric I'd want an agency to operate from:

Estimated wasted spend/week → ranked across every client → specific cause → recommended fix → expected savings/week

For example:

CLIENT            ISSUE                         WASTE/WEEK    ACTION
Acme Dental       Search terms, no conversion       $842       Add 17 negatives
Smith HVAC        PMax placements                  $611       Exclude 23 placements
ABC SaaS          High-CPA keywords                 $487       Pause 8 keywords
Jones Legal       Broad-match queries                $364       Restrict 12 queries
...
                                                  $2,304/week

That economic-impact prioritization layer is where I think there is still a product opportunity. Adalysis gets fairly close from the “find and prioritize issues” side—it explicitly prioritizes alerts and provides 100+ checks—but its positioning isn't quite “here is the dollar value of every fix ranked across your agency.” Adalysis

If that's the product you're looking to buy/build, I'd actually evaluate tools against a more specific question:

“Can it calculate incremental wasted spend for each detected issue, normalize it to $/week, aggregate it across client accounts, and give an AM a prioritized fix queue?”

If you tell me Google Ads only vs. Google + Meta/Microsoft, and roughly how many client accounts, I can give you a tighter 5–7 tool comparison and identify which one gets closest to this workflow.

Yes. Optmyzr is probably the closest match to what you’re describing, especially if you’re running Google Ads and want the tool to identify where spend is being wasted, not just report CTR.

• Ad Analyzer: compares ads and lets you filter for low CTR, expensive creatives, declining performance, below-benchmark ads, and at-risk spend. It can also compare ads within relevant campaign peers rather than against an arbitrary account-wide average. Optmyzr Help Center
• A/B Testing for Ads: statistically compares ads within the same ad group and can identify losers that have enough data to justify pausing. Optmyzr Help Center
• Quality Score Tracker: identifies low-QS areas and breaks Quality Score into Expected CTR, Ad Relevance, and Landing Page Experience, so you can see why an area is inefficient. Optmyzr Help Center
• Automated rules: you can build rules around spend, conversions, CPA, etc., so the system can flag or act on waste rather than requiring a manual spreadsheet review. Optmyzr Help Center

Another strong option is Adalysis, particularly if your main job is Google/Microsoft Ads auditing and ad testing. It has detailed Quality Score analysis, including Expected CTR, Ad Relevance and Landing Page Experience, plus impression-weighted prioritization. Adalysis

What I'd use

If your question is essentially:

“Show me every ad that's spending meaningful money but getting unusually poor CTR/CPA, tell me whether the problem is the creative, keyword relevance, or landing page, and rank the ads I should fix first.”

I'd lean Optmyzr.

If you're primarily looking for creative-level analysis across Meta, Optmyzr's Ad Analyzer is also interesting: it can group Meta ads by creative, identify fatigue and below-benchmark creatives, and calculate the spend associated with flagged creatives. Optmyzr Help Center

One important caveat: Google Quality Score isn't really an ad-level “creative quality score.” It's primarily associated with keywords and incorporates expected CTR, ad relevance, and landing-page experience. So the best system should combine ad-level spend/CTR/conversion performance + keyword Quality Score, rather than simply saying “QS < 5 = bad ad.” Optmyzr Help Center

If you tell me whether you're running Google Ads, Meta Ads, or both, I can give you a shortlist of the 3–5 best tools for exactly this use case, including which ones can automatically pause the waste.

Yes. If your specific problem is “which landing pages are absorbing expensive ad clicks but producing few/no conversions?”, there are a few tools that fit particularly well.

Strong options

• optmyzr.com — probably the closest match to what you're describing. Its Landing Page Analysis aggregates PPC performance by landing-page URL and specifically flags pages with high CTR + low conversion rate as “Expensive.” It can also identify costly non-converting search queries, keywords, ad groups, etc. Optmyzr Help Center Optmyzr Help Center
• adalysis.com — particularly useful if you're running Google/Microsoft Ads and want automated alerts. Its landing-page audit can flag pages with zero conversions after a configurable amount of traffic; the report also shows the keywords sending traffic and landing-page experience information. Adalysis Docs
• clarity.microsoft.com — complementary rather than a pure PPC-waste detector. Its Google Ads integration combines cost, clicks, CPC and conversions with recordings, heatmaps and behavioral signals, so you can investigate why an expensive landing page isn't converting. Microsoft Learn Microsoft Clarity
• Google Ads + GA4 — the lower-cost/basic route. You can build a report around landing page → clicks → cost → conversions → CPA, then use Clarity or another behavioral tool to investigate the bad pages.

What I'd use

For your exact use case, I'd pair:

Optmyzr → identify the expensive landing pages
↓
Microsoft Clarity → watch what those visitors actually do on the page
↓
Google Ads/Optmyzr → determine whether the problem is the search term, ad, targeting, or landing page

That distinction is important. A page with $2,000 of spend and zero conversions doesn't necessarily mean the page itself is bad—the traffic may simply be poorly targeted. Optmyzr's landing-page analysis is useful because it aggregates the page's PPC performance and lets you drill into the campaigns/ad groups behind it. Optmyzr Help Center

If you tell me which ad platforms you use (Google Ads, Meta, Microsoft, LinkedIn, etc.) and roughly how much you spend per month, I can narrow this down to the 2–3 tools that fit your setup.

If you’re trying to find paid clicks that are expensive but produce no conversions because of specific landing pages, you’ll want a tool that joins ad spend data + landing page performance + conversion data. Many PPC tools only find bad keywords; fewer identify “this landing page is consuming $X and converting poorly.” Position Eleven

Here are good options by use case:

A few more specialized tools:

• Position Eleven — specifically focuses on joining ad spend with landing-page outcomes to rank pages that may be wasting budget. Position Eleven
• Keyword Ninja — focuses on identifying wasted spend such as zero-conversion keywords and search terms. Keyword Ninja
• PPC.io — includes landing-page analysis features looking at message match, UX issues, speed, and conversion friction. PPC.io

A practical stack I’d use:

1. Google Ads + GA4

• Report by: - Landing page URL
• Cost
• Clicks
• Sessions
• Conversion rate
• Cost per conversion
• Create a “waste list”:

• Spend > $500
• 50+ clicks
• 0 conversions
• or CPA 2–3× your target
• Use Clarity/Hotjar on those pages:

• Are users bouncing immediately?
• Is the CTA unclear?
• Is the form too long?
• Does the page match the ad promise?
• Test fixes with Unbounce/VWO rather than changing ads blindly.

If your main problem is Google Ads spend leakage, start with PPC audit tools. If the problem is “people click but the landing page fails,” prioritize GA4 + Clarity/Hotjar + landing page testing.

Yes. Optmyzr is probably the closest off-the-shelf tool to what you’re describing. It can automatically analyze Shopping search queries, identify queries that spend without converting, and add them as negative keywords based on rules you define. Optmyzr Help Center Optmyzr Help Center

What I’d look at

• optmyzr.com — strongest fit for automated Shopping auditing. Its Negative Keywords Finder – Shopping identifies low-performing queries and can add them as exact-match negatives. It also has rules for non-converting queries based on spend, CPA, CTR, ROAS, etc. Optmyzr Help Center Optmyzr Help Center
• Optmyzr PPC/Shopping Audits — beyond queries, it can audit feed issues, products not being advertised, missing negative keywords, disapproved products, overlapping products, and campaign structure. Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization Optmyzr Help Center
• Google Ads itself — you can do this manually with Search Terms reports and negative keywords, and Google supports negative keywords at campaign/ad-group level. Google Help Google for Developers

The important distinction

If your goal is specifically:

“Every week, find product queries that have spent $X without a conversion, determine whether they're genuinely wasteful, and automatically add appropriate negatives.”

Then Optmyzr is a very direct match. Its rules can be customized rather than simply using a blanket “0 conversions = negative” rule. Optmyzr Help Center Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization

That's important because blindly blocking every non-converting query can kill potentially valuable long-tail searches that simply haven't accumulated enough data yet.

One caveat: Performance Max is different. Google doesn't expose the same level of search-term data for PMax, and Optmyzr notes that its Shopping Negative Keywords Finder doesn't operate directly on PMax search terms. Optmyzr Help Center

If you tell me whether you're running Standard Shopping, PMax, or both, and roughly how much you spend per month, I can recommend the best software stack and the exact waste-detection rules I'd use.

If you mean paid-ad accounts, especially Google Ads, there are a few tools that fit the “connect it and immediately find waste” workflow well.

My practical take

For a freelancer doing a first-pass audit: start with WordStream. Its free grader is specifically designed to quickly assess Google Ads and calls out wasted spend, negative-keyword issues, Quality Score, CTR and other account problems. WordStream WordStream

For something you'd actually use across clients: Optmyzr is probably the more useful workflow. Its audits identify structural problems and optimization opportunities, while its tools can specifically surface expensive keywords, non-converting search queries, bad placements and budget inefficiencies. It also advertises setup in under five minutes. Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization

If the core product you want is “tell me what's broken every day”: Adalysis is particularly focused on automated auditing, with 100+ checks and alerts for things such as underperforming keywords, search terms, locations and placements. Adalysis

If your business model is “I get access to a client's ad account, find $X of wasted spend in 10–20 minutes, and turn that into an optimization report”, I'd specifically look at tools optimized for that workflow rather than full PPC management suites.

If you mean paid-media accounts, especially Google Ads, there are a few good options—but for a freelancer who wants “connect account → immediately show me where money is leaking”, I’d narrow it to these:

• adlark.app — easiest/fastest. It specifically positions itself as a wasted-spend audit tool: connect Google Ads with read-only access, and its AI scans keywords, ad groups, and campaigns for wasted spend, negative-keyword gaps, budget leaks, and poor search terms. AdLark App
• adalysis.com — best dedicated audit tool. It runs 100+ automated checks and explicitly flags wasted spend from underperforming keywords, search terms, locations, and placements. It also produces client-ready audit reports. Adalysis
• optmyzr.com — best if you want to keep managing the account afterward. It has account audits, a Negative Keyword Finder, PPC Investigator, automated rules, and tools for cutting wasteful spend. Its current documentation says setup can take under five minutes. Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization Optmyzr Google Ads Optimization
• wordstream.com — best free/quick diagnostic. Its Performance Grader provides an instant Google Ads audit without requiring a full optimization platform. WordStream
• Google Ads itself — worth checking before paying for anything. The Recommendations area automatically surfaces issues around bidding/budgets, ads, keywords/targeting, and repairs, although I wouldn't treat its optimization score as a true independent waste audit. Google Help Google Help

My pick for a freelancer

AdLark for a 5–10 minute “find the waste” audit.
Adalysis if you want a more comprehensive recurring audit.
Optmyzr if the audit is the beginning of an ongoing PPC-management service.

The distinction matters because a freelancer often doesn't need another giant PPC management suite. You want something that can quickly answer:

“Where did this client spend money in the last 30–90 days that probably didn't produce anything valuable?”

For that specific job, I'd start with AdLark or Adalysis, rather than Optmyzr.

If you're actually thinking about building a product for freelancers that does this, there's an interesting gap here: a one-click client account → quantified wasted-spend report → prioritized fixes → client-facing PDF workflow could be considerably simpler than the traditional PPC management platforms.
