Google Ads Account User Activity Watchdog

Monitor Unauthorized Google Ads Changes Across Multiple Accounts with Confidence

This code is only for MCC accounts.

Take control of your Google Ads account integrity with MCC User Activity Watchdog, a powerful script designed to track and alert you of any unauthorized or unexpected changes made across your Google Ads MCC (My Client Center). Whether you’re a consultant, agency, this tool gives you the transparency and oversight Google Ads doesn’t offer by default.

🔍 Key Features

• Multi-Account Monitoring
  Automatically checks all accounts under your MCC for user changes over a customizable time window (default 7 days). You must schedule it once a week.
• Excludes Trusted Users
  Specify your own email to exclude authorized changes, making it easy to isolate external or unexpected edits.
• Detailed Change Logging
  Tracks key attributes including:
  • Change date & time
  • User email
  • Resource type (campaigns, ads, keywords, etc.)
  • Type of operation (add/edit/remove)
  • Change origin (manual, script, editor, rule, auto-applied recommendation)
• Bulk Action Detection
  Smart filtering to skip changes made via bulk operations—ensuring your logs remain clean and focused.
• Automated Alerts
  Instantly sends an email summary if unauthorized changes are found—keeping you informed without needing to check logs manually.

• Run on Schedule
  Optional scheduler support for hands-free daily/weekly account monitoring.

🧠 Why Use It?

Google Ads provides change history, but it doesn’t give you proactive alerts, nor does it easily highlight who made the changes across all your managed accounts. This Watchdog fills that gap—making it the perfect safeguard for consultants, agencies, and high-trust advertisers.

✅ Ideal For

• Agencies managing multiple Google Ads accounts
• Freelancers and consultants needing accountability tracking
• Businesses with strict access control policies
• Teams who want to catch issues before they cost money
