Explain it simply
Claude in Chrome is an AI that can use a web browser the way a person does, clicking and typing. A software company's growth lead gave it a list of search words and asked it to plan and set up four Google Ads campaigns. It worked for about two hours while she did other things, and she kept most of the ad text it wrote.
What was done
She gave Claude her Semrush keyword list and asked it to design a campaign structure and budget plan, then set the campaigns up directly in the Google Ads interface using competitor copy and keywords as reference. She did other work while it ran. In the same two-week test she also had it build a Looker dashboard from BigQuery data and draft help-center articles.
How it went
Claude set up the four campaigns it proposed and wrote headlines and ad copy along the way. After about two hours the setup was 60–70% complete, and she reused about 70–80% of the English copy. One campaign run briefly with Claude's settings showed a strong conversion rate, which she says may have been early luck.
- Limits: a plain "set up a campaign" prompt produced too few headlines and low asset strength until she asked it to use the Semrush data and increase asset coverage. She still made manual changes before launch. Help-center articles were only "fair" (about 2 hours for a page a person writes in 10 minutes).
- She rates the tool best for tasks outside your expertise, not ones you already do well.
Prompt
"Based on the keyword list from Semrush [attached], design a Google Ads
campaign structure and budget plan for the U.S. market. Then set up the
campaigns in Google Ads, using these competitor ads and keywords as reference.
Use the Semrush data to increase asset coverage: write enough headlines and
descriptions to reach good asset strength."
Review every campaign, budget and ad before turning it on.Adapted from the requests she describes.
Business fit
Who this helps, and how:
Startup founders and e-commerce sellers: get a first Google Ads build in a new market or language, then review before spending.
StartupsLocal service businesses: turn a list of service and town keywords into a starter search campaign without learning every setting first.
Local & serviceRetail store owners: draft campaigns for seasonal or local promotions from a keyword list.
Local & serviceMechanics and tradespeople: set up a "repair near me" style campaign with copy you then check for accuracy.
Local & serviceAgencies and freelancers: hand off the setup clicks for new client accounts and spend time on strategy and review.
