## Frequently Asked Questions

Can Better Analyst change my campaigns?

No. The connector is read-only and uses only the Google Ads Search endpoint for reporting.

Why does Google show a broad Ads permission?

Google provides one Google Ads API OAuth scope rather than a narrower reporting-only scope. Better Analyst restricts the connector itself to account discovery and read-only Search requests.

Does it support MCC accounts?

Yes. Better Analyst discovers customer hierarchies and saves the required manager customer context with each selected account.

What data can I analyze?

You can query compatible Google Ads reporting resources including campaigns, ad groups, ads, keywords, search terms, segments, costs, and conversions.

How are costs represented?

Google Ads returns cost fields in micros. Better Analyst preserves the raw API values and uses the selected account currency and timezone as analysis context.

Are dashboards refreshed with live data?

Yes. Dashboard refresh reruns the saved GAQL. Rolling DURING ranges move forward, while literal historical dates remain fixed.

How do I connect Google Ads to Better Analyst?

Click "Connect Google Ads," sign in with the Google account that has access to your ads, and select the customer accounts you want to analyze. Accounts under a manager (MCC) account are discovered for you. No developer token or API setup is needed.

Is my Google Ads data secure?

OAuth tokens are encrypted before they are stored and are never sent to your browser. The connector only runs read-only reports. You can disconnect from the connector page or revoke access from your Google Account connections at any time.

Does it report on Performance Max campaigns?

Yes, at the campaign level: Performance Max campaigns appear in campaign reports with their cost, clicks, conversions, and conversion value. Google exposes less detail for Performance Max than for Search campaigns, so keyword and search-term reports mainly cover Search campaigns.

Can I combine Google Ads with GA4 or a spreadsheet?

Yes. Attach Google Analytics, Google Sheets, or Meta Ads to the same chat and ask for spend, sessions, and conversions side by side. Better Analyst fetches each source and joins the results by date or campaign.

Can I schedule a Google Ads report?

Yes. Save a Google Ads report as a Data Flow to deliver it to Google Sheets or a database on a schedule, or schedule a task that reruns the analysis and sends the summary by email or Slack.
