How to Connect Google Ads

This guide walks you through connecting your Google Ads account to Profitario to import ad spend data, including support for Manager Accounts (MCC).

Prerequisites#

• A Google Ads account with at least one active campaign.
• Access to the Google account that manages your ad accounts.

Starting the Connection#

1. In Profitario, go to Settings > Integrations.
2. Find Google Ads in the Ad Platforms section.
3. Click Connect.

OAuth Authorization#

1. You will be redirected to Google's authorization page.
2. Log in to your Google account if prompted.
3. Grant Profitario the requested permissions to read your Google Ads data.
4. You will be redirected back to Profitario.

Selecting Ad Accounts#

After authorization, Profitario displays all ad accounts accessible from your Google account.

1. Select the ad accounts you want to track.
2. Click Save to begin importing ad spend data.

Manager Account (MCC) Support#

If you use a Google Ads Manager Account (MCC), Profitario will detect and list all client accounts under your MCC. You can select individual client accounts to track.

Currency Settings#

If your ad account currency differs from your Shopify store currency, Profitario will prompt you to enable currency conversion. See How to Change the Ad Spend Currency for details.

Token Refresh#

Google Ads tokens are automatically renewed by Profitario. Manual reconnection is rarely needed. If you do encounter an expired token, see How to Reconnect an Expired Integration Access Token.

Troubleshooting#

• No ad accounts appear: Verify your Google account has access to the ad accounts in Google Ads.
• Manager Account clients not listed: Ensure you authorized the Google account that owns or manages the MCC.
• Authorization fails: Make sure pop-ups are not blocked.
