How to connect Google Ads in Metrix

Authorize read-only access to your Google Ads accounts and start seeing spend, conversions and campaign performance.

Connecting Google Ads gives Metrix read-only access to your Google Ads accounts. Once connected, you'll see spend, conversions and campaign performance updated alongside your other advertising platforms.

Requirements

  • A Google account with access to the Google Ads account you want to connect.
  • You don't need an MCC (manager) account: direct access to the ad account from your Google user is enough.
  • The read permission for campaigns and metrics is requested automatically during the Google login; there's nothing to configure beforehand.
