What is CouncilAds?
An AI tool that generates Google Ads, tests two of them against each other in front of twelve AI buyer personas, and checks the winning ad against your landing page.
Who built CouncilAds?
Jon Roland, a web designer and internet marketer with more than 20 years of experience, including over 12 years managing Google and Facebook ad budgets for small businesses.
Who is it for?
Small business owners running their own Google Ads and agencies managing ads for clients.
What is the Council?
Twelve AI personas, each built on a sympathy map that models how a real buyer thinks, feels, and reacts. Each one reviews your ad and gives a verdict.
What tools are included?
Four: Google Ads (writes two competing ads and picks a winner), Review Any Ad, Website Review, and Landing Page Review. Every plan, including free, gets all four.
Why does it write two ads?
Testing one ad against nothing tells you very little. Two ads give you a control and a clear winner.
Does it review landing pages?
Yes. The winning ad is checked against the page it links to, and the Council tells you where the ad and page don't match and what to fix.
Can I try it free?
Yes. You get one run with no account needed, then 5 more after you sign up, for 6 free Council reviews in total. No credit card required.
How much does it cost?
Free to start. Solo is $79.99 per month, Agency is $299.99 per month, and White Label is custom priced to your volume. The API is $3 per Council review.
What do I get with a paid plan?
Solo adds unlimited Council reviews, a My Reports dashboard, and screenshots saved with every report. Agency includes everything in Solo plus multiple client workspaces, a client management dashboard, branded reports with your agency logo, and priority support.
Is there annual billing?
Yes. Solo and Agency can be billed annually, which saves 20% compared to paying monthly.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Cancel anytime from your account settings. There are no cancellation fees or long-term contracts.
Do you offer refunds?
Yes. If you're not satisfied within the first 7 days of a new paid subscription, contact us for a full refund.
Can agencies white label it?
Yes. White Label runs the Council on your own subdomain with your branding throughout, volume-based pricing, and dedicated onboarding. It requires a separate White Label Agreement.
Is there an API?
Yes. AI consultants and automation builders can apply for partner access and run all four tools by API at $3 per review, with volume discounts at 500 or more reviews per month.
Does CouncilAds run my ads for me?
No. It writes and tests the ads and gives you a setup guide detailed enough to hand to anyone who manages your account.
Which ad platforms does it support?
Google Ads.
Where is CouncilAds based?
Webster, Texas.
