- Budget Tracking
- Performance Reporting
Not sure what to delegate? Start with the work that repeats every week.
Send a quick brief List the recurring tasks, bottlenecks, tools, response times, and approvals. That is usually enough to define the first version of the role.
How the role works
Set up the work before you hand it over.
For agencies and local-service businesses, the strongest Google Ads setup is usually a defined operating role rather than a loose list of errands. The client owns the process and decisions; the Virtual Assistant owns the recurring execution that has been clearly delegated.
Give the Virtual Assistant a written brief, a source of truth for brand and campaign rules, and a clear review cadence. Marketing work gets messy when drafts, approvals, tracking links, and reporting live in different places.
Check accuracy before volume. Good work should match the brief, use the right source data, preserve brand standards, and leave enough documentation for someone else to understand what changed and why.
Keep positioning, budget changes, claims, final publishing approval, and material strategy decisions with the accountable marketer unless you have explicitly delegated them.
First 30 days
A practical onboarding plan for a Google Ads Virtual Assistant
Keep the first month narrow enough to review properly. Add scope only after the original workflow is accurate and predictable.
- Week 1
Learn the workflow
Start with campaign build support, keyword list maintenance, and search-term review. Give the Virtual Assistant examples of good completed work, access only to the systems needed for those tasks, and a short daily check-in while the process is still new.
- Weeks 2-3
Add ownership
Once the basics are consistent, add negative keyword administration and ad copy uploads. Ask the Virtual Assistant to document recurring questions and turn repeat answers into a checklist or SOP instead of relying on chat history.
- Week 4
Review by outcomes
By the end of the first month, review whether campaign build support, keyword list maintenance, search-term review are running consistently, exceptions are recorded instead of hidden, and the remaining decisions that need your input are clearly documented.
Common hiring mistakes
Three mistakes that make this role harder than it needs to be
Do not combine campaign build support, keyword list maintenance, and unrelated specialist work into one role without setting priorities.
Do not hand over full Google Ads access on day one. Give the minimum permissions campaign build support actually needs, and widen it as the work proves out.
Do not judge this role on activity counts. For Google Ads work, accuracy on keyword list maintenance and the state of unresolved exceptions matter far more than hours logged.
Managing the role
Use a small scorecard instead of watching every click.
For the first month, review a few measures that tell you whether the work is dependable. The exact targets should come from your own workload and service standards.
- Campaign Build Support: completed on time, with exceptions recorded instead of hidden
- Keyword List Maintenance: accuracy or rework rate based on a sample the manager actually reviews
- Search-Term Review: turnaround time from a complete request to a usable result
- Open items: any campaign build support blocked past the agreed response window, with the blocker and next owner named
- Documentation: Google Ads records current enough that someone else could pick up campaign build support tomorrow
Tools and skills
Hire for workflow fluency, not a software checklist.
Software familiarity matters, but process judgment matters more. Ask candidates to explain what they completed inside the tool, how they checked accuracy, and what they escalated.
