Find where I pay for clicks I would get anyway. First ask me which Google Ads account and Search Console property to use. Pull the paid and organic search terms report with google-ads/get-paid-organic-search-terms. Pull organic clicks and positions with search-console/query-search-analytics. For the ten costliest overlaps, check the live results page with dataforseo/google-organic to see whether competitors bid on them. Finish with the terms where the ad can likely go (high organic position, no competitor ads), the ones to keep, and the expected saving. Before running anything, inspect each tool with inspect_tool, ask me for any input you don’t have instead of inventing it, and tell me the total price. Wait for my go. At the end, tell me what Agentik charged. ``` ## You provide - Your connected Google Ads account and Search Console property - Country and language ## What you get: a list of searches to test without ads - Searches where you pay while ranking well - Who else bids on them - Terms to test without ads, and terms to keep - The expected monthly saving ## How to find where paid and organic search overlap in Claude or ChatGPT Prices are the most each call can reserve for this example: One Google Ads account and one Search Console site over 28 days, 1,000 paid and organic terms, 10 results pages checked. ### 1.
