You can also mention me with a question about this channel's Google Ads account, for example "what was the CTR last 30 days" or "segment that by campaign". I post a working message first, then answer in a thread under your question. Follow-up questions in that thread need no mention.
Ask for keyword ideas or historical search volumes around a phrase, keyword list or website; PDF and CSV reports are available.
Ask for a native line, bar, area or pie chart, or a table, of this account’s Google Ads performance. For example: "draw a graph of performance in the last 30 days".
I can also answer about the Merchant Center linked to this account: what is in the feed, disapprovals, prices, availability, brands and categories.
I only ever see the one account this channel is linked to, and I never change anything on my own.
