Businesses around the world are set to gain a significant advantage with the global rollout of two new AI-powered tools from Google. Ads Advisor in Google Ads and Analytics Advisor in Google Analytics, both built on the Gemini platform, will begin appearing in English-language accounts starting in early December. These advisors are designed to streamline workflows and enhance marketing performance through intelligent, conversational assistance.
The Ads Advisor functions directly within your Google Ads account. Its primary role is to surface optimization recommendations and, following your review and approval, implement the selected changes. For instance, within a Performance Max campaign, you could ask how to best prepare for an upcoming holiday season. The tool might suggest adding sitelink extensions and then proceed to make that update once you give the green light.
This new tool goes beyond simple suggestions. It can generate relevant keywords, craft compelling headlines, and write ad copy by drawing from your existing website and campaign assets. When you encounter unexpected performance shifts, the advisor can help diagnose the issue. It answers diagnostic questions, pinpoints the most probable causes, and proposes concrete fixes to get your campaigns back on track. For policy-related problems, it will flag the violation and can sometimes take corrective action, such as editing a non-compliant ad URL, all subject to your final approval.
On the other side, the Analytics Advisor offers a conversational experience for users of both Google Analytics Standard and Analytics 360. You can pose broad questions or request specific metrics, and the advisor will generate easy-to-understand visualizations and actionable insights. Imagine asking, “What’s the best opportunity to convert users from a recent traffic spike?” The tool would provide a detailed response, complete with data visualizations.
A core strength of the Analytics Advisor is its ability to perform key-driver analysis. When your metrics experience a significant spike or drop, the tool automatically investigates to explain the likely cause. It doesn’t just list factors; it prioritizes the ones that have the most substantial impact on your business outcomes. Following this analysis, it connects these insights to tangible growth opportunities, providing you with clear, step-by-step guidance on what to do next.
The introduction of these tools is a major step forward for digital marketers. Ads Advisor bridges the gap between receiving suggestions and taking action, allowing for permissioned, in-product execution. Simultaneously, Analytics Advisor transforms data analysis by offering faster investigations and more definitive next steps through its sophisticated key-driver analysis. This is particularly valuable during hectic periods like the holiday season, as it saves considerable time by reducing the constant back-and-forth between diagnosing problems and implementing solutions, all while ensuring you remain in full control of any changes made to your accounts.
To access these new features, users simply need to log into their English-language Google Ads or Google Analytics accounts beginning in early December. The advisors will be available directly through the in-product interfaces, ready to provide intelligent support.
