Satory Labs API transparency
Google Ads API disclosure
One operator. One account. A private tool.
Satory Labs uses the Google Ads API through a private command-line tool operated by Benjamin Martin, the sole proprietor behind Satory Labs.
The tool manages only the operator’s own Google Ads account. It is not a public product, is not distributed or sold, and cannot be used to access third-party advertising accounts.

01 / Purpose
Why the API is used
Satory Labs builds and tests small digital services. Google Search campaigns are used to measure whether those services answer real customer demand.
The first campaign supports Second Avis Immobilier, an independent second-opinion service for property buyers in France. The internal tool lets the operator create campaigns and inspect their performance from a local terminal instead of repeating the same work in the Google Ads web interface.
