Built by someone who reads search terms for a living.
I’ve managed Google Ads accounts for clients for more than 10 years. I used to spend hours every week reading search terms reports line by line, spotting the searches that were never going to buy, and blocking them by hand.
PPCleaner automates exactly that work. The free scan shows you what it finds in your account.
- 100+ advertisers supported, in e‑commerce and lead generation
- Six-figure ad budgets managed
Before you connect
The questions we actually get
The PPCleaner free scan connects to your Google Ads account in read-only mode and reads the search terms of your Search, Shopping and Performance Max campaigns over the last 30 days. It shows which searches cost money without converting, grouped by intent, with the cost of each one. It takes a few minutes, it is free, and no credit card is needed.
Is it really free?
Yes. No credit card, no trial started. Each Google Ads account gets one free scan.
Will the scan change anything in my account?
No. The scan only reads your search terms and their cost. It adds no negative keyword, pauses nothing and changes no bid, budget or ad.
Why do you need access?
Search terms and their cost are only available inside your Google Ads account. Google offers a single Google Ads permission that also covers changes. PPCleaner uses it later, only if you start a trial. You can revoke access anytime from your Google account.
How do you decide a search is irrelevant?
The AI reads what each search actually means and compares it with what you sell, from your campaigns and your website. Irrelevant searches are grouped by intent: job seekers, DIY, wrong product, other locations… A search that converted is never counted as waste.
How long does it take?
A few minutes for most accounts. Wasted searches appear live as they are found, and the full report is emailed to you when it is done.
Are the amounts exact?
The wasted amount is what Google Ads reports for those searches over the last 30 days, in your account's currency. The yearly figure is an estimate at the same pace, and is marked as such.
Does it work with Performance Max and Shopping?
Yes. The scan reads the search terms of your Search, Shopping and Performance Max campaigns. Accounts with none of these have nothing to scan, and we'll tell you so.
What happens after the scan?
You see the report, get it by email, and see which plan fits your ad spend. If you want PPCleaner to block these searches every night, start a 7-day free trial. If not, nothing else happens.
I manage several accounts (agency)?
Connect with your manager (MCC) login and pick the account to scan. Each account gets one free scan, up to three a day. The Agency plan then covers all your clients.
Is my data shared with anyone?
No. Your search terms are used only to build your report. They are never sold or shared for advertising. We never see your Google password.
