Auto Ads lets Google decide where and how many ads to place automatically, which is simpler than manual placement but can just as easily mean too many ads crowding content, or too few in the spots that would have earned the most — tuning density and exclusions is how you keep the convenience without the site feeling ad-saturated.
Auto Ads configuration & density tuning
Auto Ads tuned so the convenience doesn't come at the cost of a crowded, ad-saturated site.
- Full backup taken before we start
- If we can’t fix it, you get your money back
- We never ask for your own password
What we need from you
- Confirmation of whether Auto Ads is already enabled, or needs setting up
- Any pages or content types you want excluded from automatic placement
- Your general preference on ad density (more conservative or more aggressive)
This or something else?
| You want Auto Ads set up or its density tuned | This fix covers it |
| You want precise, manual control over each ad’s exact placement | AdSense code placement & ad unit implementation, a different approach |
| Ads are causing layout shift, not a density preference | Ad-induced layout shift (CLS) correction |
| ads.txt is showing an error | AdSense ads.txt setup & error resolution, unrelated to this |
What we do
- Enable Auto Ads if not already active, or review the current configuration
- Set density preferences reflecting your stated tolerance for ad volume
- Configure page and content exclusions where specified
- Monitor initial placement to confirm it matches expectations
- Adjust settings if initial placement is too sparse or too dense
- Document the final configuration for future reference
What is included
- Auto Ads configured with density matching your stated preference
- Specified exclusions correctly applied
- Initial placement reviewed and adjusted if needed
- A written note on the final configuration
Not included
- Manual ad placement, a different approach entirely
- Guaranteeing a specific revenue outcome from density changes
- Ongoing adjustment as your content or traffic changes significantly
- Fixing an underlying policy violation affecting ad serving
Questions about this fix
Will more ads always mean more revenue?
Not necessarily — too many ads can hurt user experience enough to reduce engagement and return visits, which costs more long-term than the modest extra impressions gain.
Can I exclude specific pages, like a contact page, from ads entirely?
Yes, that's a standard and reasonable request, and we configure Auto Ads' exclusion settings to respect whichever pages or content types you specify.
How do I know if the density is set right for my site?
There's no universal right answer — we start from your stated preference and can adjust based on how it actually looks and performs once live, rather than guessing at an ideal number upfront.
Does Auto Ads work well with existing manually placed ads?
It can, though the two together can sometimes lead to more ads than intended if not coordinated — we check for that overlap as part of this configuration.
Can I switch from Auto Ads to manual placement later?
Yes, they're not mutually exclusive commitments — switching approaches is a reasonable thing to revisit if Auto Ads isn't giving you the balance you want.

If this is the second time this year
A bad update breaking the site is a symptom of updates not being tested first. Care plans run every update on a staging clone before it reaches your live site, which is the actual fix for this happening again.
Your access, your rules
Create a separate admin account for us and delete it when we are done. For anything else, we get in touch and agree a method — never a form field on this site, never by reply to an email.
We back up first, always
Before anything is touched we take a full backup and keep it for 30 days. If a fix goes wrong, we put the site back exactly as it was.
If it is not what you bought
If the problem turns out smaller than what you ordered, we refund the difference. If it is bigger, we stop and send a quote before doing any extra work.
If we cannot fix it
You get back what we received. Diagnosis is on us — you only pay when the problem is actually solved. The payment processor takes its fee before the money reaches us, so we never hold it and it is not ours to return. That is true here as everywhere else.
If it comes back
Reply within seven days of delivery and we put it back on the bench at no cost. The fix is not finished until it holds.
What we are responsible for
If something goes wrong with a fix, our responsibility is limited to what you paid for it. We take a full backup first so mistakes can be undone, and we tell you before doing anything outside what you bought.
