James, DPOM's AI account manager

Meet James

Your AI account manager, included free

Online · 24 / 7

"Ask me anything about your account, day or night. Want something changed? I check it with you, and your account manager signs it off."

The one thing to know

Some changes are automatic. People decide the big ones.

James makes routine Google Ads changes himself, based on your account's own data and inside limits we write for each client, and logs every one. Your account manager can override or undo any of them. Anything you ask for is approved by your account manager. James never pauses a campaign on his own, and budgets never move without a person, unless a client has agreed written limits for them.

AI tools you can use

The tools, and which ones use AI. Said plainly on every card.

Four of our tools use AI. Three do not, and we say so, because a tool does not need AI to be useful. Each has its own page with what it costs and how to start.

How we use AI to run your account

Who decides what. In plain words.

On Google Ads accounts where we switch him on, James also looks after the routine work. Every change he makes is based on your account's own data, inside limits written for your account, and your account manager can override or undo any of it. This is exactly what James may do by himself, what waits for a person, and what never happens automatically.

Automatic, inside your limits

Routine work James does himself, from your account's data, logged.

  • Adding negative keywords for searches that are not for you
  • Turning a search that brings you enquiries into a keyword
  • Replacing ad lines Google rates low, and adding sitelinks, callouts and snippets
  • Small device and location bid adjustments, inside caps
  • Pausing a single keyword with many clicks and no enquiries, or a disapproved ad once a replacement is live
  • Checking each change a week later, built to put back anything clearly worse

A person approves

James can suggest these. Only a person can say yes.

  • Anything you ask for, by email or through James
  • Pausing a campaign or ad group, even for a dead landing page or runaway spend
  • Any change that would raise your spend
  • Budget changes, which only a director can approve
  • New campaigns and changes of strategy

Never automatic

Written into the code, not left to judgement.

  • Moving a budget, unless a client has agreed written limits for it
  • Pausing a campaign or an ad group
  • Turning a campaign on, or creating a new one
  • Touching a campaign marked as protected, such as your brand campaign
  • Going against something you have told us

How do we know what you have told us? James reads your emails to us and the transcripts of your calls and meetings with us, and keeps a record of your instructions, so he follows them.

How we use AI to run your account

What our AI watches, so we catch it first. And who acts on it.

Behind every account James watches for the things that cost clients money when nobody notices. Most of it goes to your account manager to act on. Turn a card to see the fix.

  • What we watch

    What we do

    We check each account through the day and alert your account manager the same day if ads stop. If the cause is on your side, James emails you too.

    What we do

    Every weekday we check your conversion tracking is still recording. If it stops, your account manager gets a task to fix it.

    What we do

    Every hour we check that your landing pages still load and your spend is on pace. If not, your account manager is asked to decide on a pause; James never pauses a campaign himself.

    What we do

    A season profile for each client, from five years of search trends, tells us when your searches usually fall or climb, so plans and heads-ups land in time.

Where the industry is going

AI is the new standard. Questions to ask any agency about it.

AI is quickly becoming the baseline for how good digital marketing gets done. We did not wait: we built our own system, in-house, and it works behind every account. Ask these first, of us or anyone.

  1. Is the AI real and in use on my account?

    YesYes. James, our own AI, watches our clients' accounts and makes routine changes where we switch him on, based on each account's own data and inside its limits.

  2. Did you build it, or rent it?

    YesWe built it ourselves. We own it, understand it inside out and improve it almost every day.

  3. Will you tell me which changes are automatic?

    YesYes, it is all on this page. James's routine changes are based on your data, logged, and your account manager can override any of them. Anything you ask for, any campaign pause and any budget change goes to a person.

  4. Can I talk to it, and to a person?

    YesYes. James, our AI account manager, answers day or night, and your UK team is a phone call away.

The people behind DPOM

AI does the routine. People decide. A UK team you can reach.

DPOM is a family business, run by Brett and his wife Jayme. Our UK team sets the limits for every account and approves anything bigger, and James, our AI account manager, answers questions day or night and passes anything that needs a decision straight to them.

James acts inside limits. People set them, can override him, and approve anything bigger.

Questions

Straight answers about our AI.

Changes to your account

Does AI make changes to my Google Ads?

On accounts where we switch him on, yes: James makes routine changes such as negative keywords, ad lines, sitelinks and small bid adjustments, based on your account's own data and inside limits written for your account. Each one is logged and checked a week later, and your account manager can override or undo any of them.

Can AI change my budget?

Not by itself. Budget changes need a director's approval, unless a client has agreed written limits that let James adjust them.

Will AI pause my ads?

James never pauses a campaign or an ad group on his own; he flags it to a person. He may pause a single keyword with many clicks and no enquiries, or a disapproved ad once a replacement is live.

Can I ask James to change something?

Yes. Tell James what you want changed on your Google Ads. He checks it back with you, your account manager approves it, and then the change is made and checked.

James and your data

Is James a real person?

No. James is DPOM's own AI account manager. He hands anything that needs a decision to your account manager, a real person on our UK team.

Does James remember what I tell him?

Yes, for up to 12 months, across the phone and the chat. He does not keep complaints, money matters or personal details, and our team can see, change or delete what he keeps.

Is my monthly update written by AI?

It is drafted by James from your account data and sent from your account manager. When results dip or something needs a personal word, it goes to your account manager first.

Our tools and AI search

Is Sentinel click fraud protection AI?

No. Sentinel scores paid clicks with rules and excludes flagged addresses from your Search, Display and Shopping campaigns. We only call a tool AI when it uses AI.

Can you get my business into AI search answers?

Nobody can promise that. AI search optimisation is part of every DPOM SEO package, never an extra, and it works to make your business clear and easy for AI assistants to understand and cite.
