Connect Google Ads

Connecting Google Ads brings your campaigns and daily spend into Clakta. To know which ad brought each sale, you also need to tag your ad URLs, which Clakta can do for you once the account is connected.

Connect

1. Go to Project settings → Ad accounts.
2. Choose Google Ads, then Connect account.
3. Click Connect with Google. A Google window opens.
4. Sign in with the Google account that has access to your Ads accounts and allow access.

Every Google Ads account you can access is connected, and a message tells you how many were added.

Connect an account you don't have access to

In the connect window, choose Share link. Clakta creates a link for whoever manages the Google Ads account. They open it, click Continue with Google Ads and allow access, and the accounts appear in your project without a Clakta login. The link works for one hour and only once.

Manager (MCC) accounts

Connecting with a manager account brings in the client accounts it manages. Each one appears separately in the list, so you can turn on only the ones this project should report on.

Next: tag your ads

So clicks can be linked to sales:

1. On the Ad accounts page, choose Set up UTMs for the account.
2. Select the ad groups and apply.

Clakta adds its tracking key to each ad group's final URL suffix, and leaves the rest of your tracking setup as it is.
