We built a tool that lets Claude pull your Google Ads data live, no exports needed

Every Google Ads user has done some version of this: download the campaign report, download the search terms report, open a sheet, paste it into Claude, ask the question, get the answer, then do it all again next week because the data is already old.

Smacient is an MCP connector that skips all of that. Claude connects directly to your Google Ads account and pulls live data on demand, inside the conversation.

Here is what Claude can do once connected:
List all accessible Google Ads accounts across your MCC

Pull an account overview, including spend, clicks, impressions, and ROAS

Break down campaign performance ranked by cost and conversions

Generate a search terms report showing which queries triggered your ads

Run custom GAQL queries for anything the standard tools do not cover

The search terms tool is the one people reach for most. Seeing which queries are actually converting versus which are burning budget is the kind of analysis that should take seconds, not a manual export and a pivot table.

You can ask Claude things like:
"Get my Google Ads account overview for the last 30 days and flag any campaigns where ROAS dropped more than 20% compared to last month."

Or:

"Pull the search terms report and identify queries that have high spend but zero conversions."

Claude handles the data pull and the analysis in the same conversation.
Google Ads access is free to use within the Smacient credit system. Connecting takes about two minutes through your dashboard.

30 free credits every month, no credit card required. Paid packs start at $9.

Happy to answer questions about the setup or how the GAQL tool works for custom reporting.

    This is useful because it removes the most annoying part of ad analysis: exporting stale data before the actual thinking even starts. The live MCP angle is stronger than “Google Ads reporting,” because the real value is Claude becoming a working analyst inside the account instead of a chatbot reading copied CSVs.

    I’d probably position this less as a connector and more as a live marketing intelligence layer for paid acquisition teams. Search terms, ROAS drops, wasted spend, and GAQL queries are all high-intent workflows where speed directly affects budget.

    One thing I’d watch is the name Smacient. It sounds AI-native, but it may be slightly hard to remember or spell if this expands beyond one Google Ads connector. For a broader ads/data/AI intelligence product, Beryxa.com would feel cleaner and more enterprise-ready.

      Really appreciate the framing. "Live marketing intelligence layer" captures it better than we did in the post, and we might steal that.

      You nailed why the search terms and ROAS workflows matter most. Those are not reporting questions, they are budget decisions with a timer on them. The faster you get to the answer, the less you waste.

      On the name, fair and honest feedback. Smacient works for what we are today but we are thinking about what this grows into as we add more channels beyond Google Ads. Appreciate you flagging it.

      1. 1

        One practical thought here.

        Since you are already thinking beyond Google Ads, the bigger decision may not be “rename now” but whether Smacient can carry the multi-channel product you are building toward.

        The product is starting to sound less like a connector and more like live marketing intelligence for paid acquisition teams: spend, search terms, ROAS, wasted budget, and channel-level decisions.

        If useful, I can do a focused naming/positioning audit around this: current name risk, category framing, enterprise perception, domain/name ceiling, and what stronger brand direction would fit if Smacient becomes broader than a Google Ads MCP layer.

        Not a long consulting thing. Just a sharp written breakdown you can use before more channels, workflows, and customer memory build around the current name.

        I’m doing a few of these at $99 while refining the format. If useful, connect here and I can give you a clear outside read:

      2. 1

        That makes sense. If you are already thinking beyond Google Ads, I would be careful not to treat the name as a later decision.

        Smacient works for the current AI-native connector frame, but once you add more channels, the product starts becoming something bigger: a live intelligence layer across paid acquisition, spend, search terms, ROAS, and channel-level decisioning.

        That is a different category than “Google Ads MCP.”

        The timing matters because names get harder to change after users start connecting accounts, saving workflows, sharing dashboards, and associating the product with budget decisions. Waiting until after multi-channel traction can make the rebrand more expensive than pressure-testing the right brand frame earlier.

        Beryxa fits better here because it feels like a serious enterprise software layer, not a single-channel connector or AI experiment.

        If Beryxa is genuinely a name you could see for the broader product, message me on LinkedIn. I may be able to help with that side privately without turning this thread into a pricing discussion.
