Getting started
First steps when you connect Blync Digital to your Google Ads account.
How do I get started with Blync Digital?
Sign in with Google, then click Connect Google Ads. Blync uses Google's official OAuth flow to read your account. Within 60 seconds you'll see a full audit with dollar-impact findings. No credit card to start.
How long does the setup take?
About 60 seconds. After OAuth you'll see a progress bar with four stages — connecting, analyzing campaigns and keywords, identifying opportunities, and building your report. Account profile enrichment runs in parallel from your website so business context is ready by the time the audit lands.
Do I need technical knowledge to use Blync?
No. Blync is built for business owners and operators, not media buyers. The audit speaks in plain English with dollar amounts, the chatbot accepts natural-language questions like "why isn't my conversion rate higher?", and proposed changes are explained before you click Apply.
What Google Ads account types does Blync support?
Blync supports standard Google Ads accounts (Search, Shopping, Display, Performance Max, Video) at any spend level. Manager (MCC) accounts are supported — sub-accounts under the MCC each get their own audit and dashboard.
Pricing & plans
Flat pricing, no spend-based fees, no annual contracts.
How much does Blync Digital cost?
$249 per month or $2,490 per year (two months free). One price regardless of ad spend — no percentage-of-spend fees, no per-account add-ons. Bespoke consulting is available at $249/hour.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. The 60-second audit, the diagnostic report with dollar-impact findings, and the AI advisor's read-only answers are all free. You only pay when you want Blync to execute changes on your behalf — the paid plan unlocks the "Apply" button on every proposal.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. No annual contracts, no cancellation fees. You can cancel from the billing page in your workspace settings and you'll keep access through the end of the billing period. Disconnecting your Google Ads account also revokes Blync's access immediately.
What's included in the $249/month plan?
Unlimited 22-rule audits, daily account monitoring with alerts, weekly intelligence reports via email and Slack, the conversational AI advisor, campaign and ad group creation through chat, and one-click apply on proposed optimizations. Includes all current and future features at this tier.
Features
What Blync actually does once it's connected.
What does the 60-second audit check?
22 diagnostic rules across waste (search-term leakage, zero-conversion keywords, disapproved ads), structure (ad-testing coverage, negative-keyword gaps, account organization), opportunity (budget-capped winners, constrained high performers, Quality Score recovery), and competitive signals. Each finding includes a specific dollar impact.
How does the AI chatbot work?
After you connect your account, the chatbot has access to your campaigns, keywords, recent performance, findings, and business profile. Ask anything — "how's my spend today?", "pause keywords that haven't converted in 30 days," "create a campaign for hiking boots with a $50/day budget" — and it responds with data-backed answers. Action proposals always require your approval before executing.
What can the chatbot actually change in my account?
Pause or enable campaigns, adjust budgets, pause or enable keywords, add negative keywords (single or multi-campaign), adjust bids, and create complete new campaigns (campaign + ad group + keywords + negatives + responsive search ad). Every proposed change is shown to you before it runs, with an Apply button you click manually.
Does Blync work with Slack?
Yes. Install the Blync Slack app and type /blync in any channel to get instant account insights. Daily performance digests are also delivered to your chosen channel every morning so the team sees what changed without opening another tab. You pick the channel from your workspace settings.
What are the daily and weekly reports?
Daily: a morning digest summarizing yesterday's spend, conversions, and any anomalies — sent via email and Slack. Weekly: a full intelligence report on Mondays with new findings, resolved findings, and dollar impact deltas versus the prior week. Both are automated and require no setup.
Can Blync create campaigns for me?
Yes. Tell the chatbot what you want — "create a search campaign for waterproof hiking boots, $40/day, target women aged 25-45" — and Blync drafts a complete campaign with ad group, keywords, negative keywords, and a responsive search ad. You see the full proposal and click Apply to push it to Google Ads.
Security & privacy
What Blync can see, what it can't, and how to revoke access.
Is my Google Ads data safe?
Yes. Blync connects via Google's official OAuth 2.0 with read-only scopes by default. We never see or store your Google account password. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and we're verified as a Google OAuth app for Google Ads and Merchant Center access.
Can I delete my data?
Yes — at any time from your workspace settings. Account deletion removes all your Google Ads data, audit history, chat sessions, and personal information from Blync's databases. OAuth disconnection also instantly revokes our ability to read your Google Ads account.
Does Blync change things without my permission?
No. Blync is read-only by default. Every change — pausing a campaign, adjusting a budget, adding a negative keyword — is shown to you as a proposal with an Apply button. Nothing executes until you click Apply.
What data does Blync store?
Your Google Ads campaign data (last 90 days at the time of sync, plus ongoing daily updates), your account profile (industry, business type, website, inferred from scraping your homepage), chat history with the AI advisor, and audit findings. We don't store Google account passwords, payment details (those live in Stripe), or any data outside what you authorize.
Google Ads management
Questions about Google Ads itself, not specific to Blync.
How much should I spend on Google Ads?
There's no universal minimum, but accounts under $500/month often can't generate enough conversion data for automated bidding to work well. The $1K-$5K/month range is where AI tools like Blync find the most recoverable waste; above $50K/month the marginal value of human strategy grows. Don't spend more than you can profitably absorb in returns.
What's a good CPA for my industry?
It depends on your business model and average order value. Rough industry medians: B2B SaaS around $120, e-commerce $45, local services $35, lead generation $50, legal $85. Your dashboard surfaces your account's actual CPA against an industry benchmark based on the business type Blync infers from your website.
How do I know if my agency is doing a good job?
Concrete checks: pull your search-term report and look for high-spend zero-conversion terms (waste that should have been caught), check if negative keywords have been added in the last 90 days, look at your Quality Score distribution (5+ on most keywords is healthy), and verify conversion tracking is firing on every action. Blync's free audit runs all 22 of these checks in 60 seconds.
Can AI really manage Google Ads?
For continuous monitoring, search-term review, anomaly detection, copy variations, bid adjustments, and routine optimizations — yes, often better than monthly agency check-ins because AI runs daily. For high-level strategy, brand voice, creative direction, and business judgment, you still need a human. Most accounts spending $1K-$50K/month benefit from AI handling the operational work.
AI & technology
How Blync's AI is built and what it can (and can't) do.
What AI models does Blync use?
Blync uses Anthropic's Claude family — Claude Sonnet for the chat advisor (high-quality reasoning over your account data) and Claude Haiku for fast classification, narrative generation, and the blog generator. All AI calls are made server-side; your data never leaves Blync's infrastructure to train any model.
How is Blync different from ChatGPT or Claude?
General-purpose chatbots don't have access to your Google Ads account, your campaign performance, your business context, or your audit findings. Blync's chatbot does — every question is answered against the live state of your account. It can also execute changes, which a general LLM can't.
Does Blync work with Performance Max campaigns?
Yes. Blync audits PMax asset groups, surfaces under-performing asset combinations, and flags PMax campaigns where the structure doesn't fit your account (e.g., PMax with low conversion volume where Standard Shopping would perform better). The chatbot can answer PMax questions and propose budget changes.
Will AI replace my marketing team?
Not the strategic work. AI is best at high-volume operational tasks — search-term review, anomaly detection, bid adjustments, recommendation generation. Your team is still needed for brand voice, creative production, campaign strategy, customer insight, and judgment calls. Most teams use Blync to free up time previously spent on operational maintenance.
