Overloaded AdOps Teams Just Got a Lifeline: Introducing Troubleshoot Assistant for ProOps Ads Tracker
The Reality for Overloaded AdOps Teams in 2026
If your team is like most mid-sized publishers we work with, you’re facing:
Exploding programmatic and direct demand
Stricter privacy rules and advertiser delivery expectations
Daily manual GAM report pulls that consume hours
Alerts discovered too late (or missed entirely) because there’s simply no bandwidth to investigate every red flag
Teams spending 20-40% of their day firefighting instead of optimizing yield, testing new formats, or strengthening advertiser relationships
The result? Preventable revenue leakage ($50K–$200K+ annually), advertiser churn from missed SLAs, and burned-out teams.
ProOps Ads Tracker was built precisely for this reality: a lightweight, read-only Chrome extension that acts as an always-on assistant. It pulls GAM data every morning, flags critical and warning-level issues across Campaigns, Inventory, and Revenue, and organizes everything into clear buckets with Excel exports. For teams with more work than resources, it’s already the essential GAM add-on - saving 4-6 hours per person weekly and delivering 500-800% ROI through labor savings and early issue detection.
But detecting problems early is only half the battle. The real time sink is the manual deep dive that follows every alert.
Introducing Troubleshoot Assistant: One-Click AI-Powered Investigation
Today we’re excited to launch Troubleshoot Assistant - our first opt-in AI feature built directly into ProOps Ads Tracker.
With one click on any alert (e.g., “Ending Soon & Underpacing”, “Revenue Dropped”, “No Ad Requests”, or “Unusual Ad Request Volume”), Troubleshoot Assistant:
Pulls targeted additional GAM reports using the specific Order ID and Line Item ID(s) tied to the alert.
Runs an availability forecast to confirm whether remaining inventory can support full delivery.
Analyzes the data to identify likely root causes (targeting mismatches, creative issues, geo overlaps, priority conflicts, competitive pressure, etc.).
Delivers a concise summary of findings.
Provides clear, actionable recommended fixes (e.g., “Broaden geo-targeting by 15%”, “Increase line item priority to 8”, “Add backup creatives”, “Review floor pricing”).
All of this happens inside the Chrome extension - no new logins, no context-switching, no extra tools.
Time saved: What used to take 30-120 minutes of manual report running and analysis now takes under 2 minutes. Teams report 25-40% faster resolution of alerts, compounding to 2-4 additional hours saved weekly per person.
Why This Matters for Stretched Teams
ProOps Ads Tracker + Troubleshoot Assistant together create the ultimate efficiency stack for overloaded ad ops:
Prevention → Daily automated alerts catch issues before they become revenue problems.
Rapid Diagnosis → One-click AI dives eliminate manual investigation drag.
Focus Shift → Free bandwidth moves from reactive firefighting to proactive yield optimization, new deal testing, and workflow improvements.
ROI Amplification → On top of base Ads Tracker savings ($1,400–$2,200 monthly labor), early/faster fixes can unlock 10-20% additional yield recovery on affected campaigns.
This is especially powerful for teams of 2-5 people managing 50+ active orders - exactly the segment where manual processes break first.

We built Troubleshoot Assistant because we hear the same thing from publishers every week: “We love the alerts, but we don’t have time to chase every one.” Now you don’t have to.
