Auto-pause keyword based on performance

The script automatically updates the status of keywords to “Paused” if their performance crosses user-determined thresholds.

What can I do with this?

This script helps advertisers ensure their budget is being allocated to the assets that are most likely to help them meet their performance goals and eliminate wasted spend on those that are underperforming.

  • The script identifies keywords that are not meeting performance criteria
  • It updates the status of these keywords to 'Paused' to prevent further spending
  • Users set rules for pausing keywords are based on metrics like cost, conversion rate, clicks, and impressions

Example

 

How it works
