# Connect and use Google Ads

> Select an authorized customer and inspect the current Google Ads reporting surface.

Connect Google Ads to read performance for a selected customer. The reporting page has **Campaigns**, **Ad groups**, **Keywords**, and **Search terms** views.

## Connect the right customer

1. Open [Settings → Connections → Google Ads](https://app.autoady.io/settings?tab=google-ads).
2. Choose **Connect Google Ads** when available. Use a Google identity with access to the advertising customer you need.
3. Return to settings and choose **Select Google Ads customer**. Check the customer ID carefully if the login can access several accounts or a manager account.
4. Follow **View full report — ad groups, keywords and search terms**, or open **Google Ads** in the sidebar.

The product can ask a workspace owner or media buyer to connect. If you cannot change the customer selection, it is controlled by your workspace owner. If setup is unavailable, a different Google login will not resolve deployment configuration; use the reason shown by the product.

## Read the report

The current report uses a fixed **Last 30 days** window. Switch between the four views and use the campaign filter when you want to inspect one campaign's ad groups, keywords, or search terms.

Check customer, currency, timezone, fetch time, and any coverage warning. The headline totals include spend and conversions. **Cost / conv.** is spend divided by counted conversions; a dash means that a usable value is unavailable. This fixed-window report does not supply a prior-period comparison.

## Confirm it worked

The selected customer ID agrees between settings and the report. Campaign and lower-level rows belong to that customer. A report with no returned campaigns can be valid for the selected period; a missing-connection message requires setup first.

## If data cannot refresh

Use **Refresh** and check the displayed error. Stale data or row-cap warnings mean the visible results have limitations; do not treat them as a complete current export. Reconnect if access has expired, or ask the owner to correct the selected customer.

This reporting surface reads performance. Use Google Ads itself for changes that do not have a reachable, supported AutoAdy workflow. Connecting Google Ads does not make [Meta Autopilot](/automation/autopilot) operate on Google campaigns.
