AGENT 01 · Investigation
Investigate why a metric moved, in plain English.
The problemWhen CPL jumps, your dashboard tells you what happened. It doesn't tell you why. Most operators spend the afternoon digging through the Google Ads UI. Or wait a week for the agency report.
The mechanismThe Investigation Agent walks your account from the top down. Search and Performance Max get separate tracks, because they're built differently. B2B SaaS sales cycle context is applied to the data. The finding comes back in seconds.
The outcomeYou get the same answer a senior PPC manager would give you, in the time it takes to read a Slack message.

Why did CPL spike 47% last week on the Free CRM signup campaign?
Walked the account top down: account, campaigns, ad groups, keywords, search terms.
The spike traces to one ad group: "Competitors Broad". Mobile broad match keywords ate $2,400 on Salesforce and Pipedrive brand searches. That's 87% of the CPL increase.
CTR there is 3.1%, but free trial signup is 0%. The other ad groups held steady.
