Google Ads is Google’s online advertising program. It allows users to create online ads to reach people that are searching for a certain product or service.
Google Ads is used to promote businesses by helping to sell products or services online, create brand awareness and increase the traffic sent to a website. The data collected on Google Ads can be seen at Account, Campaign, Ad Group, or Ad level, all of which can be reported on in dashboards and reports Oviond.
Connecting Google Ads On Oviond
Google Ads connects to Oviond using your Google account login details (email address and password). This authentication only needs to be done once per Google account and will give access to all the accounts associated with the Google account. Oviond only allows Google Ads Manager (MCC) accounts to be connected.
We have a comprehensive help center article that will answer all questions around the authentication, permissions, and limitations for Google Ads.
