Google's AI now runs your ads. Who audits the AI?
Ads Advisor, auto-applied recommendations, AI Max query expansion — Google's automation changes your account every night, and Google's own advisors will never recommend spending less with Google. LeakStop is the incentive-clean auditor: a continuous change-log of everything the AI did, wasted-spend detection, and a verifiable "money you saved" ledger. Read-only by design.
Free CSV waste-audit launches September 2026 — no Google login, no install. Early-access seats are onboarded personally.
Automation by default
Google may now "format, select and generate" ads on every account — no re-acceptance asked. Whatever the automation does, the invoice and the liability are yours.
AI Max takes over
DSA campaigns start auto-upgrading to AI Max: broader-than-broad matching, auto-rewritten ads, URL expansion — query expansion at Google's discretion.
10–30%
of unmanaged spend is recoverable waste in agency audits (Lunio's 2.7B-click study puts the invalid-traffic floor alone at 8.5% — $63B globally).
How it works
The audit trail Google's UI will never show you
Connect read-only, or start with a CSV export — LeakStop never touches your budgets or campaigns. v1 makes zero write calls to your account.
AI-activity watchdog
A continuous, plain-English change-log of everything Google's automation did to your account: auto-applied recommendations, advisor-applied changes, auto-created assets, AI Max expansion.
"Google's AI changed match types on 14 keywords overnight — here's what it cost."
Leak detection
Six detection rules on your search terms and spend: broad-match and AI Max query bleed, n-gram waste, budget creep, spend anomalies — flagged with the evidence attached.
Guided fixes deep-link into the exact Google Ads screen. You stay in control of every change.
The savings ledger
Every verified fix is metered against a 28-day baseline into a conservative, evidence-linked "money you saved" report — weekly, white-label, client-ready.
The receipt that renews retainers: under-claims by design, so every dollar on it defends itself.
Why LeakStop
Google's advisor works for Google. LeakStop works for you.
