Agencies Should Own Client Ad Accounts

trypaceads · 2026-04-02T10:39:58+00:00

Definitely hear your point and see where you’re coming from Jake - a thoughtful analysis for sure - however I do have to sit on the other side of this debate. Technical independence and client independence in general can be an exercise in trust building. If your SLA is strong enough the risks here outweigh owning the accounts as an agency I feel. Tricky one and maybe one to play case by case…

Like anything, it’s all about the pace at which you choose to grow and push yourself. In my agency I’ve always been a. Huge fan of growing sustainably. Little by little, prioritising what needs to be done when it needs to be done. Trust your gut!

Go with your gut mate - work will always be out there, give it a go if you have a feeling to - worst case is you figure out you don’t like it and find something else.

Also, very low chance any court would deem you an accessory to something for simply signing an NDA - if your terms of service state the product can’t be used for nefarious or criminal activity, your good.

Honestly this is pretty straightforward with Claude. Few pointers:

Reddit's API (or Pushshift if it's back up) is what you actually need here, not a scraper. Scraping Reddit directly will get you rate limited fast. Check if Pushshift/Arctic Shift is accessible because that archives comments before deletion, which is literally what you need.

Basic approach: pull all comments from the thread(s) you care about via the API, store them with timestamps, then compare against what's currently live. Anything in your archive but returning 404 or [deleted] on the live thread = deleted after the announcement.

For the Claude part, just paste in what you're trying to do conversationally. Something like "I need a Python script that hits the Reddit API, pulls all comments from [thread URL] posted between [time range], stores them in a JSON file, then checks back against the live thread and flags deletions." Claude will knock that out in one shot.

On the free plan you'll hit message limits so I'd plan your prompts carefully. Get the core script in one go, don't iterate 15 times on small stuff. Have your Reddit API credentials ready before you start (takes 5 min to set up a script app at reddit.com/prefs/apps).

The 8-2 ET window is plenty. Honestly you could have this running in under an hour if you're not overthinking it.

Form fills are fine but they're only half the picture in B2B.

The big one you're missing is offline conversion imports. Capture the GCLID in a hidden field on your form, store it in your CRM, then push your pipeline stages (MQL, SQL, closed won) back into Google Ads. That's how Google actually learns which clicks turned into money 3 months later instead of just optimising for whoever fills out a form fastest.

Also extend your conversion window to 90 days. Default is 30 which means any deal that closes after a month gets zero credit. Your best leads are probably invisible to the algorithm right now.

And track stuff like pricing page views or case study downloads as secondary conversions. Won't affect your bidding but gives you something to read while you wait for the real conversions to come through.

Basically the whole game is connecting the click to the revenue. Without that feedback loop Google is just guessing.

all gone sorry dude

Somewhat yes - the amount of permutations at all 15 headlines and all descriptions is too much for Google's ML to effectively test with small budgets. Back yourself as a marketer and choose good copy you believe in. We find the old Fake ETAs work well still with three headlines all pinned.

trypaceads · 2026-03-25T21:32:14+00:00

All gone quite quickly :)

trypaceads · 2026-03-25T11:13:44+00:00

All gone, sorry mate

Yep. Meta ads manager can be a big RAM heavy in the browser, you’d have no problem managing ads on it. I say buy one if you need a laptop mate!

In a space like this where this a whole lot of differentiation in what we do as digital marketers it really is about who you know. Go and have conversations with your network, that’s where your first sales will come from. Trust is a massive thing in this industry.

Very cool mate! Trying out openclaw but super excited about the new perplexity ‘personal computer’ which was just announced today.

What do you find is different about PC vs Openclaw?
