The practical answer is whatever your team can actually optimize well. More keywords means more data points. More data points means more signals. At some point the signals start contradicting each other and the account is too complex for efficient optimization. The most common version: campaigns running for years with no structural review, continuous keyword additions, and a performance baseline nobody can quite explain. Here is how to audit a bloated Google Ads account without rebuilding from scratch: - Run a spend versus pipeline report across all campaigns for the last ninety days. Sort by pipeline contribution. Campaigns in the top quarter of spend with no pipeline contribution are your first priority - Check for internal keyword cannibalization. If multiple campaigns are bidding on similar keywords, they are driving up your own CPCs. Consolidate or exclude - Review campaign-level conversion volume. If a campaign is not accumulating at least twenty to thirty conversions per month, automated bidding cannot optimize it. Consolidate lower-volume campaigns to reach meaningful data thresholds - Identify the five to ten campaigns driving the most pipeline. If you cannot identify them, the account is too complex. If they exist but consume a small share of budget, that is your reallocation opportunity A leaner account is not a smaller budget. It is a cleaner signal. And cleaner signals let the algorithm and your team optimize more effectively. Yirla shows which Google Ads campaigns are contributing to pipeline so you know which ones to keep and which to consolidate.
