Run your own Google Ads from your own AI assistant
A connector for allied health clinic owners who work with Culture of One. Your assistant reads your Google Ads results and makes the changes you approve, within set guardrails.
CO1 Connect, by Culture of One, links a clinic owner’s own Claude AI assistant to their own Google Ads account. The owner signs in with Google. Their assistant can then read the account’s results and make the changes the owner approves, within set guardrails.
Who it is for
Owners of allied health clinics who work with Culture of One and run their own Google Ads account. Access is by invitation: each Google sign-in is limited to the Google Ads accounts listed for it. The account, its billing and every decision stay with the clinic.
What it reads
For the listed Google Ads accounts only: campaigns, ad groups, keywords, search terms, ads, budgets, campaign and auto-apply settings, performance figures, and the account’s recent change history.
What it can change
- Add negative keywords, and add keywords in phrase or exact match.
- Pause, or switch back on, campaigns, ad groups, keywords and ads.
- Set a campaign’s daily budget, as long as the daily budgets of all switched-on campaigns, added together, stay within the monthly ceiling agreed with the owner divided by 30.4.
- Switch off the Display network and search partners, and set location targeting to people in or regularly in the area.
- Write or edit search ads, after a check against Australian health advertising rules.
Most changes are shown to the owner as a preview first and applied only when the owner confirms. Pausing applies straight away, because it only stops spend, and so does switching an ad group, keyword or ad back on. Every change is logged with its before and after values. Changes can be undone, with one exception: switching off the Display network, search partners or wider location targeting is not reversed through CO1 Connect. Undoing an addition removes only the item CO1 Connect added.
Guardrails
- Search campaigns only: no Performance Max, Smart, Display or Demand Gen campaigns.
- No broad match.
- CO1 Connect can switch the Display network and search partners off, and never switches them on.
- CO1 Connect can set location targeting to people in or regularly in the area, and never widens it.
- Budget changes made through CO1 Connect keep the switched-on campaigns’ combined daily budgets within the agreed monthly ceiling divided by 30.4. This limits the budgets that can be set, not what Google charges on a given day: Google can spend more than a daily budget on a busy day.
- Nothing that already exists in the account is removed or deleted; items are paused instead.
- Account settings, users and access, billing, conversion actions and auto-apply recommendations are changed by the owner in Google Ads, not through CO1 Connect.
These rules run inside CO1 Connect itself, so an instruction to the assistant cannot switch them off.
How to connect
- Your Culture of One contact adds your Google login and Google Ads account to the access list and gives you the connector address.
- In Claude (a paid plan), open Settings, then Connectors, and add a custom connector named CO1 Connect with that address.
- Select Connect, continue to Google sign-in, choose the Google login you use for Google Ads, and allow Google Ads access.
How to disconnect
In Claude, open Settings, then Connectors, open CO1 Connect and disconnect it. To revoke access to your Google data as well, remove Culture of One from the third-party connections in your Google Account (myaccount.google.com/connections).
Your data
CO1 Connect uses Google data only to show owners their own account and carry out their instructions. Culture of One does not sell it, use it for advertising or use it to train AI models. Results go to the AI assistant the owner connected, whose provider handles that conversation under its own terms. What is accessed, stored, shared and for how long is set out in section 12 of our Privacy Policy.
