What a lean team can give it
- Nobody watching during launches or leave
- A look at spend when someone has an hour
- New ads when a launch forces them
- A monthly report, pulled together by hand
The account gets whatever time is left.
For a lean team: Hero Marketer checks the account every day, and Hero AI, your Google Ads agent, gives you the next step with its evidence.
Monday board update
8:14 AMCost per conversion fell 18% as spend moved from Brand to Performance Max, which converts at 6.2% against 4.1% for the account. Next step: test moving another $1,200 a month from Brand.
The why behind the 18%
Your reality
Paid is one of several channels your team runs, and nobody's day job is Google Ads. So the account gets checked when someone has time, the refresh work waits for a quiet week, and nobody watches it during launches or leave.

What Hero Marketer covers
Your team's afternoon goes to decisions, not digging.
Three moments
Three illustrative moments from Series A and B accounts. The question you'd ask, and the answer Hero AI gives.
When you ask
"The board wants to know why paid conversions fell 12% last quarter. What's the real story?"
The board deck is due Thursday.
Hero AI · Investigation → Recommendation
Conversions fell from 412 to 363. Three quarters of the drop is one campaign, Marketing Hub demo, where impression share fell from 58% to 41%. It lost those auctions to ad rank, not to budget.
Everything else held within its usual range across all three windows of data.
Fix rank before adding budget: both of its main ad groups rate Poor on ad strength, and I can draft new ads for each. Want the story as three lines for the deck?
When you ask
"Sales says Google Ads leads got worse this month. Are they right?"
The pipeline review, with sales in the room.
Hero AI · Investigation → Recommendation
Partly. Conversions are flat, but the mix changed. Ebook downloads went from 18% to 41% of conversions, and demo requests fell by a third.
Most of the ebook downloads come from the new Guides ad group, on searches like "crm template" and "what is a crm". Those read as research, not buying.
I can't see which leads became pipeline in your CRM. What I can see says to stop counting ebook downloads as a primary conversion, so bidding stops chasing them. That's a Google Ads setting, and I'll show you where it lives. Want the search terms behind it?
When you ask
"I'm back from two weeks off. What changed in the account, and did anything break?"
Nobody covered paid while you were out.
Hero AI · Investigation → Recommendation
Two things need you first. "Demo request" recorded no conversions from the 9th through the 12th, so four days of demos are missing from this month's numbers. And a teammate raised the Sales Hub trial budget by 40% on the 11th.
The raise is working: cost per signup held at $118, and the campaign no longer loses impressions to budget. Everything else stayed within its usual range across all three windows of data.
Keep the raise, and note the tracking gap in the next board update, since it makes this month's demo count look low. Want the two weeks as a short summary for the team?
How it fits
Hero AI is built to fit into three short sessions a week, so the rest of the week goes to the channels only your team can run.
Why this exists
John Selvinraj · 9 years running B2B SaaS Google Ads accounts
Founder, Hero Marketer
Across nine years of B2B SaaS accounts, the lean teams I worked with rarely lacked skill. They lacked hours: three people covering five channels, Google Ads squeezed into whatever time was left, and nobody watching it when the one person who knew it was out.
So Hero Marketer takes the daily watching and the weekly digging, and shows the numbers behind every recommendation. Your team's hours go to the decisions only people can make.
Why I created Hero MarketerQuestions heads of growth ask
Hero Marketer keeps watching. It checks the account every morning and budgets every hour through the day, and most alert types email you too. Automations you switch on keep blocking search terms that waste money and pausing keywords that spend without converting, within daily caps. When they're back, Hero AI reads the last 30 days of change history and tells them what moved while they were away.
Yes, with limits. There are no seats, invites or roles. Each teammate signs in with their own Google account and connects the same Google Ads account, and everyone on it can open the reports and dashboards a teammate saves. Hero AI chats, alerts and credits stay with each person.
The dashboard is free for everyone. There is no seat fee and no shared team balance: each person buys their own credits, in $20 packs, for the AI work they run, and credits never expire. Monitoring costs 0.25 credits a day per Google Ads account, about $7.50 a month, for each person who keeps it on, so let one person own it for the team.
No. Hero Marketer reads Google Ads, not your CRM, so it cannot measure CAC, pipeline or payback. It judges against the target you state, such as a cost per lead ceiling or a Target CPA, and works from whatever Google Ads counts as a conversion. If you already import CRM stages into Google Ads as conversions, Hero AI can report on each of them by name.
Each recommendation shows its evidence: the numbers, the campaigns it applies to, and what has to be true first. Hero AI won't suggest a change because of one bad week, and it suggests more budget only once results have held for months. When the data is too thin, it says so instead of guessing. The answer stays in the chat, so you can show your CFO the exact numbers.
