Privlek.ai — advertising for small businesses, explained in plain language
Privlek.ai is a self-service advertising tool for owners of very small businesses in Kazakhstan. It researches demand before any money is spent, then builds, runs and reports on Google Ads Search campaigns inside the customer's own Google Ads account — explaining every decision in ordinary language, and never spending money without the owner's confirmation. Privlek.ai connects to a customer's Google Ads account through Google's official OAuth consent flow.

What Privlek.ai asks of your Google Account, and why
Privlek.ai requests one OAuth scope: https://www.googleapis.com/auth/adwords — access to the Google Ads account you choose to connect. Nothing else is requested, and no other Google product is touched.
What that access is used for. Reading search volume, competition and cost estimates so the tool can tell you whether advertising is worth starting; creating a Search campaign, ad groups, keywords and ads in your account after you confirm; changing budgets, bids and targeting while the campaign runs; and reading performance figures to report results back to you.
What it is never used for. Google user data obtained through this scope is not sold, not transferred to anyone except as needed to provide these features, not used for advertising to you, and not read by humans except with your explicit consent, to investigate a security incident, or where required by law. The account stays yours: we do not require it to be linked beneath our manager account, and you can revoke access at any moment from inside Privlek.ai or from your Google Account settings.
The scope Google grants is broader than what Privlek.ai uses. Google offers no narrower scope for the Google Ads API: adwords conveys everything the account owner can do, and its permission summary therefore also lists changing payment settings. Privlek.ai does not read, use or change payment settings, payment methods or billing information — ever. What it uses is listed above, and nothing else.
You can enforce that by construction, not by trust. The tool inherits the access level of the person who connects the account: connect with a user who has Standard access rather than Admin or Billing, and payment settings are out of reach for Privlek.ai regardless of what the scope permits, while campaign creation, management and reporting continue to work. If your access is later reduced or revoked, Privlek.ai's access changes with it.
Full details, including retention and deletion, are in the Privlek.ai Privacy Policy.
What Privlek.ai does
It measures demand before a single tenge is spent
You describe what you sell. Privlek.ai finds the words people actually search for — which is rarely the wording the owner uses — and returns monthly search volume, an estimated cost per click and a competition level for each of them. Then it says plainly whether starting makes sense, and on which channel.
This is the step nobody else performs for this customer: an agency will not do it for a 100,000 ₸ budget, and an ad platform has no reason to talk anyone out of an expensive keyword.
It builds the campaign and explains every decision
Search campaign with geographic and language targeting, ad groups, keywords with match types, negative keywords, responsive search ads, callout extensions, a daily budget, a bidding strategy and a conversion action. Every one of those choices comes with a sentence in ordinary words explaining why it was made and what it costs you.
Nothing is created in your account until you have read the proposal and pressed confirm.
It runs the campaign, and tells you what it changed
Pause, resume or remove campaigns, ad groups, ads and keywords. Change budgets, bidding strategies and targeting. Add negative keywords from the search terms that wasted money. Every change Privlek.ai proposes is logged with its reason, and the ones that cost money wait for your confirmation.
It reports in numbers you already understand
Clicks, cost, impressions and conversions at account, campaign, ad group, ad, keyword and search term level. Three depths: three numbers in a message, a screen with the breakdown, an export. A report ends with a recommendation rather than a number, because a table is something any ad account can already show you.
Where it advertises
Google Ads is the primary channel and the one described in detail on this site. Privlek.ai creates and manages Search campaigns in the customer's own Google Ads account.
Privlek.ai is also being built to work with Meta (Facebook and Instagram) as a separate channel, for businesses whose customers are not searching for them yet. The choice between channels is part of what Privlek.ai explains rather than something the owner is expected to know.
Google Ads data is always reported separately from data of any other advertising platform. The two are never merged into a single blended number.
How it works
- You sign in to Privlek.ai with your own email and password.
- You connect your own Google Ads account through Google's official OAuth authorization. The account stays yours; you can revoke access at any time from your Google Account.
- Privlek.ai researches your business and your demand, and shows what it would advertise and what it expects that to cost.
- You review the proposed campaign, change what you want, and confirm. Only then is anything created in your account.
- Privlek.ai runs the campaign, reports results, and proposes changes — each of them explained.
You pay Google directly, from your own account with your own payment method. Privlek.ai never receives, holds or spends your advertising budget, and takes no percentage of your ad spend.
Nothing is published without your confirmation. Privlek.ai proposes and justifies; a human decides.
What it costs
Privlek.ai is paid for by the business owner, as a subscription for the software. The unit of pricing is a connected advertising channel — one platform in one ad account — and the second channel costs noticeably less than the first. You pay only for months in which you actually advertise.
There is a free tier that covers everything the software does without AI reasoning, plus one complete campaign, once. There is also a one-off purchase — a single campaign with a month of management, no subscription — for seasonal businesses that will never subscribe.
Privlek.ai does not earn a percentage of advertising spend. That model rewards spending more, which is the opposite of what this customer needs. Final prices will be published before launch.
Where the product stands today
Privlek.ai is in development, built by an independent developer in Kazakhstan. The product design is complete and documented; the accounts, the Google Cloud project and the OAuth consent flow are configured; the interface shown on the product tour is presented as design mock-ups, not as screenshots of shipped software.
The first release covers Google Ads Search campaigns for a small group of pilot businesses in Kazakhstan, in Russian and English.
Who is behind it
Privlek.ai is built by Sergey Plotnikov, an independent software developer based in Almaty, Kazakhstan. To try it early, to ask a question, or for anything related to the Google Ads API, write to softispower@gmail.com. Mail to this address is read every day.
