Where am I wasting spend?

MakoFour search terms spent $184.20 in the last 30 days and recorded no conversions. The largest was ‘free skin samples’, with 39 clicks and $71.40 spent. The deterministic check is budget.google_wasted_search_terms. The proposed next step is to review those terms and add only the irrelevant ones as exact-match negatives.

What’s working?

MakoBrand Search recorded 84 conversions from $1,965 of spend in the last 30 days. Non-brand Search recorded 29 conversions from $2,740. That makes Brand Search the stronger observed campaign in this demo window. It is evidence for review, not proof that a budget increase will improve the next window.

Ask the question your dashboard can’t answer.

Every answer carries its receipt: which platform Mako read, for which account, and when it pulled the numbers. The included audit names the deterministic rule behind each finding.

Meet the agent

Approve the exact Google Ads change.

The controlled-beta write set is bounded to campaign status, campaign budget and negative keywords. Every change waits at an approval gate and is re-read after execution.

The loop ( 5 )

It reads. It proposes. You decide.

  3. Propose

What it does

Six parts of a Google Ads decision, in one place

Each card plays its job with the account’s own vocabulary. The figures inside are demo data.

  • Deterministic account audit

    Eleven written Google Ads checks run against the connected account. Repeat runs require an active trial or plan.

  • Root-cause diagnosis

    It separates a measured symptom from the checks that passed or failed, and states when the data is insufficient.

  • Playbooks

    Saved rules constrain what Mako may recommend. They do not authorize unattended platform changes.

  • Google Ads connection receipt

    The product names the account, reporting window and read time. Other providers keep their review or validation labels.

  • Account memory

    Saved rules and prior decisions stay with the workspace so the next recommendation can respect them.

  • Plain-English reports

    What was measured, which rule fired and what is proposed, with uncertainty stated rather than hidden.

Stats and facts

No invented numbers. Including these.

  • 11Google Ads audit checks

    The controlled-beta audit runs 11 deterministic checks. Every finding names the check that fired.

  • $0To start

    Connect Google Ads and run one included audit with no card. Ongoing service requires an active trial or plan.

  • 0Changes without your yes

    Write access starts off on every account. Every write waits at the gate.

  • 7Free days with the agent

    The whole agent, first week free once a card is on file.

The first audit

Account findings, itemised. Before you decide what to change.

Connect Google Ads and run one included audit before Mako can change a thing. Each finding names the rule, entity and observed data; the recommendation remains yours to judge.

Pricing ( 3 )

Scale your spend, not your bill.

Your ad budget is your business. The thinking is ours. Every Mako tier is the whole product: same agent, same audits, same receipts. What changes between them is how many messages a month you get with the agent, and how many ad accounts you can connect.

  • Connect Google Ads with no card and run one included deterministic audit.
  • Start a 7-day trial for repeat audits, daily monitoring, alerts, and the agent.
  • Agent messages draw credits by thinking level: Quick 1 · Standard 3 · Deep dive 9. Everything else draws none.

Proof status

No customer testimonials yet.

Sable Mako is pre-customer. These are the facts we can show today and the proof still required.

Evidence before claims

The Google Ads connector, 11-check deterministic audit, recommendation cards and exact approval gate are implemented. Provider approval and implemented code are not presented as customer outcomes.

What we can prove

Before we claim time saved, spend reduced or performance improved, we need a dated customer baseline, the observed result and permission to publish it.

    Google Merchant Center, read field by field

    Feed reading is built: your Merchant Center accounts, the data sources in them, and every product with its item-level issues and per-country approval status. Open to the controlled beta since 2026-09-03. Not yet run end to end in production, and the disclosure page says so.

    What a frequency ceiling actually costs you

    Most accounts set one and never revisit it. The number that matters is not the ceiling but how long you sit against it.

    Read-only agents are more useful than they sound

    An agent that cannot touch your account still removes the slowest part of the job, which is knowing where to look.

    Writing a playbook a machine will not misread

    The rules you keep in your head are more conditional than you think. Getting them down is most of the work.

Included account audit

Connect Google Ads and read the first audit.

The controlled beta starts with Google Ads. Write access starts off, and nothing changes until you approve the exact proposed action.

  • Write access off until you turn it on
  • Approval before every write
  • Every change re-read and logged

No card for the included audit. Google publishes no read-only Ads permission, so the consent screen asks for ads management access. Sable Mako enforces read-only behavior: write access starts off and every proposed action still requires exact approval. Repeat service and the agent require a trial or plan.
