Connect Your Google Ads

How to link your Google Ads account to AdPredictor — secure OAuth and automatic sync.

Before You Start

What You Need

• ✅ An active Google Ads account
• ✅ Admin access (or delegated access) to that account
• ✅ An AdPredictor account (signed up and logged in)

The Connection Process

Step 1: Go to Settings

1. Log into your AdPredictor dashboard
2. Click Settings (left sidebar)
3. Find "Google Ads Connection"
4. Click "Connect Google Ads"

Step 2: Authenticate with Google

1. You'll see a Google login screen
2. Select the Google account that owns your Google Ads account
3. Click "Allow" to give AdPredictor permission
4. You'll return to AdPredictor

Step 3: Select Your Account

1. AdPredictor will show all Google Ads accounts you have access to
2. Select the account you want to analyze
3. Click "Connect"

Step 4: Sync Starts

• 🔄 Your campaigns, ad groups, ads, keywords, and performance data start syncing
• ⏳ First sync is automatic — most accounts complete in under 30 min, large accounts up to 1 hour. Once done, your AI insights are ready in under 5 min
• ✅ Once done, you'll see data in your Dashboard

After Connection

Always Fresh Data

All paid plans sync your data automatically when you use the app. AI insights are generated after every sync. The difference between plans is in the depth and quantity of insights.

What syncs:

• Campaign names, status, budgets
• Ad group structure
• Ads (headlines, descriptions, landing pages)
• Keywords (bids, match types)
• Performance data (clicks, impressions, conversions, spend)
• Quality scores
• Search terms (what people actually searched)

Multiple Accounts

Important: Each account is completely isolated. Data from Account A is never mixed with Account B.

After You Connect: What to Do

Day 1-2: Explore Your Data

1. ✅ Go to Campaigns → review your campaigns
2. ✅ Go to Dashboard → see your key metrics
3. ✅ Go to Insights → read initial recommendations

Day 3-7: Review Insights & Alerts

1. ✅ Check Insights → read the recommendations
2. ✅ Check Alerts → fix any urgent problems
3. ✅ Look at Search Terms → find irrelevant traffic

Week 2+: Implement & Monitor

1. ✅ Implement top recommendations
2. ✅ Check your ROAS in the next sync
3. ✅ See if recommendations helped → iterate

Troubleshooting

"Connection failed"

Problem: Google didn't grant permission

Fix: Make sure you're using an account with Google Ads admin access

"Your account has no campaigns"

Problem: The Google Ads account you selected is empty

Fix: Go back and select a different account, or add campaigns in Google Ads first

"Data isn't updating"

• Check Sync Status in Settings (shows when next sync runs)
• If stuck for 2+ hours, try disconnecting and reconnecting
