Frequently asked questions

What is PaidHelm?
PaidHelm is a hosted MCP server that lets AI assistants such as Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor read and manage Google Ads accounts on your behalf, with you approving every change.
Who is it for?
Advertisers, freelancers and agencies who run Google Ads and already use an AI assistant. No coding is required.
Which assistants are supported?

How much does it cost?

What is a task?
One tool call: one report, one change, one creation step. Checking your plan or generating an upgrade link is free.
Is it safe to give an AI access to my ads account?
PaidHelm uses Google OAuth (no password), encrypts tokens, creates every campaign paused, requires explicit IDs for changes and lets you revoke access in one click. You decide what runs.
Can it launch campaigns without me?
No. Campaigns are created paused and only enabled when you say so.
Does PaidHelm replace my Google Ads account or dashboard?
No. Everything stays in your Google Ads account. PaidHelm is a bridge, not a platform.
Can agencies use one subscription for many clients?
Yes. One Google login that can access many accounts gives the assistant access to all of them under a single plan.
Do you support Meta Ads?
Meta Ads is in private testing and will join the same subscription. Google Analytics 4 reporting follows.
Is there a refund?
7 days after the first charge if you used less than half the plan's tasks.
Where is my data stored?
On Cloudflare's network. PaidHelm stores your email, an encrypted token and usage counters, not your reports or campaigns.
Who makes PaidHelm?
A2 Digital Marketing Ltda., a performance marketing agency founded in 2015 in Fortaleza, Brazil, that runs the same server for its own clients.
