Connect Google Ads so Vivacity can see your ad accounts and help you act on it. Your data stays read-only while Vivacity learns. Anything it suggests is drafted for you to approve - it never sends or changes anything in Google Ads without your sign-off.

​
What Vivacity does with Google Ads

  • Read ad spend, campaign performance and lead forms.
  • Flag wasted spend and best-performing creatives.
  • Draft follow-ups to new leads for your approval.

​
What syncs

Vivacity reads the following from Google Ads (read-only):
  • Ad spend by campaign, ad set and ad
  • Impressions, clicks, conversions and ROAS
  • Lead-form submissions, where available
Vivacity only ever reads the data you connect. It does not write back to Google Ads unless you explicitly approve an action.

​
Permissions & security

  • Read-only by default. Setup grants read access only.
  • You stay in control. Every suggested action is drafted for your approval before anything happens.
  • Encrypted & revocable. Credentials are stored encrypted; disconnect any time in Settings → Connectors.
See Data & permissions for the full picture.

​
Troubleshooting

Make sure you’re signed in to the correct Google Ads account with admin access, then retry. If a pop-up was blocked, allow pop-ups for Vivacity and try again. Still stuck? See Connection issues.
Vivacity syncs on a schedule. Trigger a manual sync from Settings → Connectors → Google Ads → Sync now, or see Data & sync.
Google Ads access can expire or be revoked. Open the connector and select Reconnect to restore it - your history is kept.
