}About This Script
Paused Keyword Export is a lightweight Google Ads Script for teams that want a clean, current list of paused keywords in one place. It is useful for account audits, migration prep, change reviews, and general hygiene checks.
The script writes campaign name, ad group name, keyword text, match type, and status to a Google Sheet. That makes it easy to filter, sort, and review themes such as old tests, seasonal pauses, or legacy structures that should be archived.
Because it is intentionally simple and read-only, it is safe for frequent use and easy to adapt. If needed, you can extend it later with labels, dates, impressions, or performance metrics.
Implementation Notes
- Leave SPREADSHEET_URL blank to auto-create a sheet, or paste your own Google Sheet URL.
- Paste the script into Google Ads Scripts and authorize access.
- Run it once manually to confirm the output looks right for your account.
- Filter the sheet by campaign or ad group when reviewing old structures.
- Schedule it weekly or monthly if you want a recurring paused-keyword inventory.
