Driving Efficiency with an AI Keyword Optimization Agent
Faced with ballooning ad costs and wasted budget, a global ecommerce company deployed Aliveo AI's Keyword Efficiency Agent to spot inefficient keywords and reassign spend toward proven performers.
The Challenge: Budget Drain from Inefficient Keywords
A multinational ecommerce advertiser was spending millions on paid search campaigns across regions and languages.
The challenge:
- Underperforming keywords — Terms that generated impressions and clicks but contributed little to conversions.
- Budget misallocation — Strong performers received too little investment while weak terms absorbed spend.
- Scale complexity — With hundreds of thousands of keywords across languages and markets, manually auditing for inefficiency was not just slow—it was impossible.
Human teams simply could not review performance at this scale. By the time analysts flagged underperformers, the wasted spend had already accumulated.
The Aliveo AI Solution: Keyword Efficiency Agent
Aliveo AI introduced a Keyword Efficiency Agent to autonomously evaluate keyword performance at scale.
The Agent applied a set of rules to spot inefficiencies, focusing on keywords with:
- High click volume,
- Significant spend, but
- Little to no conversions.
Whenever these thresholds were met, the Agent:
- Surfaced the core performance metrics — clicks, spend, conversions, CPA, and impressions — for each keyword.
- Included a translation of the keyword text so global teams could act without delay or language barriers.
- Recommended budget adjustments to redirect spend into proven performers.
This process was continuous and automated — something no human team could have done across hundreds of thousands of terms.
The Impact: Smarter Budget Allocation
The Keyword Efficiency Agent produced measurable impact:
- Reduced wasted spend by systematically removing low-value terms.
- Improved ROAS (Return on Ad Spend) as budgets flowed into keywords that consistently converted.
- Faster optimization cycles with real-time detection instead of lagging manual audits.
- Scalability and clarity across languages and regions, with automatic keyword translation and standardized reporting.
What once would have taken teams weeks of manual work was now completed continuously in the background.
Why This Matters
Keyword inefficiency is one of the largest hidden costs in paid search. Without automation, wasted spend compounds and valuable opportunities slip away.
With the Keyword Efficiency Agent:
- Teams gained immediate visibility into weak performers.
- Budgets were automatically redirected toward profitable terms.
- Global operations ran leaner, smarter, and more consistent.
Manual auditing was no longer a bottleneck — the Agent became a silent partner, always scanning, always reallocating, always optimizing.

By automating inefficient keyword detection and budget reallocation, the company eliminated wasted spend, improved campaign performance, and unlocked scalable growth.
