PPC Toolbox - The essential chrome extension for PPC specialists

A week ago, if you’d told me I’d be trading late-night ad copy tweaks in Google Docs for coding sessions in VS Code, I would’ve laughed. Yet here I am, having built my first Chrome extension — PPC Toolbox — and already contemplating the next project. 🧪 This journey wasn’t a calculated pivot. It began with a desire to automate parts of my PPC workflow, leading me down a path of AI tools and what I now call “vibe coding”: less perfection, more curiosity and momentum. No rigid roadmap — just solving my own problems one script at a time. ⚙️ What surprised me most? 👉 How fun this has been. I used a mix of AI models, chatbots, code helpers & design tools. It’s been a playground for experimentation, learning, and now… launching my first product. 🛠️ ⸻ 🧰 What’s Inside the Toolbox? Practical tools that solve real PPC workflow problems — right in your browser. Built for speed, built for clarity. 🌐 Translate Search Terms Instantly translate search queries inline in your Google Ads account — no more copy-pasting into Google Translate. Works across all interface layouts. 🔎 Find Related Searches Discover “People Also Search For” terms directly from live Google results. Great for finding new keyword ideas, negatives, or quick expansion opportunities. 🕵️ Extract Competitor Ads Extract competitor ad copy — headlines, descriptions, and URLs — from sponsored results in one click. Perfect for swipe files and market research. 🔗 Create UTM Links Fast Just type utm in the address bar to launch a fast, efficient UTM builder. Save presets, copy tracking links in one click, and keep your campaign URLs clean and consistent. ⸻ 👉 For a deeper dive into how this all came together — from identifying pain points in Google Ads to building my own solution — check out the full story on my blog: https://danielpopa.me/blog/must-... ✍️ ⸻ Thanks for reading!
