BluepointATM Google Ads ChatGPT Analysis Setup — 2026-04-05
Overview
During a working session on 2026-04-05, Mark Hope and Gilbert Barrongo established a ChatGPT project-based workflow for analyzing BluepointATM's Google Ads campaigns. The session also surfaced a significant conversion tracking error — page views were being counted as conversions — which was corrected live during the meeting. The ChatGPT project approach is intended to become the standard workflow for ongoing campaign analysis across all clients.
Attendees: Mark Hope, Gilbert Barrongo, Anup Kumar Ray, Karly Oykhman
Key Decisions
- ChatGPT projects as the standard analysis workflow. Rather than ad-hoc screenshots or manual review, the team will create a dedicated ChatGPT Plus project per client per month. Campaign, ad group, keyword, and search term reports are uploaded to the project so ChatGPT retains context across sessions.
- Page views removed as a conversion goal. Page view tracking was confirmed to be inflating conversion counts. It was removed from BluepointATM's Google Ads conversion goals during this session. The change applies going forward only; historical data remains affected.
- Date of change noted as October 8, 2025. All reporting going forward should filter from this date to avoid comparing clean conversion data against historically inflated figures.
- Page views may be tracked as observations, not goals. ChatGPT's analysis recommended adding secondary metrics like page views as observations within Google Ads, but not as conversion goals.
Conversion Tracking Correction
The ChatGPT analysis of the BluepointATM campaign report flagged suspiciously low CPAs, prompting a review of what was being counted as a conversion. Investigation confirmed that page views were included as a conversion action under Goals.
Steps taken:
1. Navigated to Goals → Conversions → Summary in Google Ads.
2. Identified the Page View conversion action as active.
3. Removed the page view action from the conversion goal set.
4. Confirmed remaining conversion actions: phone calls, outbound clicks, PDF downloads, contact form submissions, click-to-email.
Impact: Google Ads will not recalculate historical conversion data. Reports prior to October 8, 2025 will reflect inflated conversion counts. New conversion data should begin appearing within 2–3 days of the change.
Action item: Gilbert to message Anup confirming that page views, scroll events, and sessions are not counted as conversions anywhere in the account. These may be added as observations only.
ChatGPT Project Workflow — BluepointATM
How It Works
- In ChatGPT Plus, create a Project named for the client and month (e.g.,
Bluepoint ATM Google Ads — October 2025). - Download reports from Google Ads as Excel/CSV files:
- Campaign report
- Ad group report
- Keyword report
- Search term report (via Insights & Reports → Search Terms)
- Negative keyword report (via Keywords → Negative Keywords tab) - Upload all reports to the project via Add Files.
- Add context notes directly in the project — e.g., "Page views removed as a conversion goal on October 8, 2025. Past conversion totals are inflated."
- Ask ChatGPT to analyze performance, surface issues, and recommend optimizations.
What ChatGPT Surfaces
From the BluepointATM session, ChatGPT identified:
- Extremely low CPAs → flagged as likely caused by micro-conversions (confirmed: page views)
- High CPC on Reverse ATM campaign → limited keyword pool or competitive niche terms
- Healthy CTR on search campaigns → good engagement, reasonable CPC
- PMAX campaign → recommended pausing or restructuring after one week of clean conversion data
- Negative keywords → recommended adding to improve targeting precision
Optimization Recommendations (from this session)
| Area | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Conversion goals | Only count high-intent actions: form fills, calls, button clicks |
| Observations | Add page views, scrolls as secondary metrics (not goals) |
| PMAX | Pause or restructure after 1 week of new conversion data |
| Negative keywords | Add to all campaigns; pull negative keyword report and upload to project |
| Reporting | Filter all reports from October 8, 2025 onward for accurate CPA/conversion data |
Action Items
