Ask Ads

Ask your ad account where the budget went

Ask Ads connects to Yandex Direct and VK Ads, pulls the numbers from your account and answers the question: what happened, why, and what to do about it.

What Ask Ads does

Don't build the report. Ask for it.

Ask Ads picks the right data in your account, does the math and explains the result. All you do is phrase the question.

Answers in seconds

A summary for any metric and period arrives 10–20 seconds after you ask, not after an export and a pivot table.

Data straight from the account

Campaigns, keywords, ads and statistics come in via the API. No CSVs, no copy-paste.

Questions in plain words

“Why did clicks in the ad network get pricier?” instead of filters, breakdowns and segments. If a question is ambiguous, Ask Ads asks back.

Your own files in the analysis

Upload a CSV or Excel with offline conversions or CRM sales, and Ask Ads matches them against campaign spend.

Who it's for

Freelancer

Five client accounts and an evening Excel report for each of them.

One question per account, and the client summary is ready in a minute.
In-house

The manager wants numbers for a meeting and the report isn't built yet.

The answer with numbers and a takeaway arrives during the conversation.
Agency

Dozens of accounts, and clients want explanations in the chat, not dashboard links.

The account breakdown can be forwarded to the client as is.

Watchdog

Watchdog keeps an eye on your ads
while you're busy

Checks your Yandex Direct and VK Ads accounts automatically and messages you on Telegram the moment something breaks.

What it catches
Overspend and CPA growth
A campaign is spending faster than usual or cost per conversion rose above the threshold.
Conversions disappeared
Goals stopped coming into the account. The message arrives within the hour, so you don't run blind for a week.
A campaign stalled
Impressions stopped even though the campaign was supposed to be running.
Low balance
The account is below your threshold. You still have time to top it up before impressions stop.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about Ask Ads

What is Ask Ads and how does it work?

Ask Ads connects to your Yandex Direct and VK Ads accounts via official authorization. You ask a question in the chat, the service requests the data it needs through the API, does the math and replies: numbers, cause, recommendation.

An answer usually takes 10–20 seconds.

How do I connect an ad account?

Connecting takes under a minute. No bank card needed.

  1. Click “Try it free” and sign in to Ask Ads.
  2. Click “Connect” on the platform you need: Yandex Direct or VK Ads.
  3. The platform's own page opens — approve Ask Ads' access to your ad account there.

Ask Ads never sees your login or password: the sign-in happens on Yandex's or VK's side.

What kind of questions can I ask?

Anything about your campaigns, ad groups, ads and keywords. For example:

  • Where did the budget go this week?
  • Why did impressions drop?
  • Which keywords burn money?
  • What CTR is normal for my niche?
  • What is going on with campaign “Search · Moscow”?

If there isn't enough data for an answer, Ask Ads says so and suggests what to clarify instead of guessing.

Is it safe? Can the service change my campaigns?

No, Ask Ads cannot change your campaigns. In practice that means:

  • Read-only access: there is nothing to change bids, budgets or settings with.
  • Account data is used only to answer your question and is never shared with third parties.
  • Access is revoked in your profile in one click: the service stops reading the account and its data is deleted.
How much does it cost?
Starter — free
one ad account, both platforms, no card and no time limit.
Pro — ₽2,990 per 30 days
no account limit, upload your own files for analysis, a stronger model and Watchdog alerts in Telegram.

Pro is a one-off payment with no auto-renewal. Paying again extends the term from its end.

How is Ask Ads different from the built-in reports?

Native report builders show the data, but you pick the slice, the period and the metrics yourself and interpret the result yourself.

Ask Ads does that from the wording of your question and explains what the numbers mean. It doesn't replace those tools, it removes the routine around them.

What is Watchdog?

Watchdog checks your accounts once an hour and messages you in Telegram when something goes off:

  • Spend outruns its usual pace.
  • A conversion got pricier than your threshold.
  • Goals stopped coming into the account.

You decide which checks to enable and at what deviation to be notified.
