Google Ads

Connect Google Ads to Analytra—checklist, Customer ID, OAuth, synced campaigns, API quotas, and troubleshooting.

Want your Google Ads results in Analytra (without living inside Google Ads tabs)? Connect once — and we'll sync your campaigns and performance data automatically.

Before you start (tiny checklist)

You'll need:

  • A Google Ads account with admin access
  • Your Google Ads Customer ID (format: XXX-XXX-XXXX)

Find your Google Ads Customer ID

  1. Log in to Google Ads
  2. Look at the top-right corner of the interface
  3. You'll see a number like XXX-XXX-XXXX
  4. That's your Customer ID — copy it exactly in that format

Connect Google Ads to Analytra

Okidoki — let's connect it step-by-step:

  1. In Analytra, go to Connect Data (left sidebar)
  2. Find Google Ads and click Connect
  3. Click Authenticate with Google Ads
  4. You'll be redirected to Google's permission screen
  5. Select the Google account linked to your Google Ads account
  6. Approve the requested permissions
  7. Back in Analytra, paste your:
    • Customer ID: your Google Ads Customer ID (XXX-XXX-XXXX)

Done. Sync starts.

What data gets synced

Once connected, Analytra can sync:

  • Campaigns
  • Ad Groups
  • Ads
  • Keywords
  • Search Terms
  • Conversions
  • Clicks + cost data
  • Performance metrics

The first sync may take a few minutes, depending on how much history your account has.

Rate Limits and Data Refresh

  • Data syncs daily by default
  • We import up to the last 12 months of historical data by default (if available)
  • API calls are optimized to respect Google Ads API quotas

Troubleshooting (the usual suspects)

If the OAuth connection fails:

  • Make sure you're using the correct Google account
  • Confirm you have admin access to the Google Ads account
  • Try clearing cache/cookies or use an incognito window

If your Customer ID is invalid:

  • Double-check the format is XXX-XXX-XXXX
  • Confirm you actually have access to that Customer ID
  • Confirm the account is active (not suspended)

Security note

Your Google Ads credentials are encrypted and stored securely. Authentication happens through Google's own servers — we never see or store your Google password.
