# How to set up a Google Ads account signing in with Google

Connecting your Google account is the first step to using AdsX with Google Ads: this connection is what lets you track your campaign metrics on the dashboard, automate campaign creation, and — on the Escala Max plan — send your sales back to Google for optimization. You do it only once, in a few clicks.

On the **Google Accounts** screen, use the **Add account via Google Sign-in** button:

Prefer to follow along in video? This is the same lesson available in AdsAcademy (audio in Portuguese, English subtitles available). It was recorded when the screen had a single button; there are now two, and the one in the video is **Add account via Google Sign-in**:

## Step 1 — Connect your Google account

1. In the left menu, click **Google Accounts**.
2. Click the **Add account via Google Sign-in** button, on the right.
3. In the Google window that opens, **choose the account** you use with Google Ads. Depending on your account's settings, Google may ask for your password or a verification code — that's Google's normal security.
4. Click **Continue**, scroll to the bottom of the page, and click **Continue** again.
5. Wait a few moments: Google validates the connection and, once done, your email appears connected on the screen, with your **Google Ads accounts and sub-accounts** listed right below — including each one's status (active or suspended).

## Step 2 — Activate metrics

With the account connected, you can activate the daily delivery of metrics to your dashboard:

1. On your account's row, click the **Activate Google Ads metrics** button (the bar-chart icon).
2. Sign in to Google again if prompted.
3. Click **Open authorization** — a new Google tab opens. Select **the same email** you connected and click **Allow**.
4. At the end, Google shows a page with an address (URL) in the bar at the top. **Copy that address** (click it and press Ctrl+C).
5. Go back to the AdsX window, **paste the address** into the indicated field, and click **Activate**. Activation completes in a few seconds.

## Step 3 — Where to see the results

From activation on, Google sends a daily summary of the previous day's metrics, and they show up on your dashboard. The history builds over time: each day adds a new day of data, and within a few weeks you have the full picture of which account and which campaign are performing best.

## Tips

- **Sub-accounts didn't show up after connecting?** It may have been a momentary connection hiccup. Delete the connection on the same screen and click **Add account via Google Sign-in** again — this doesn't affect your Google account at all, it's just the connection to AdsX.
- **Created a new Google Ads account after connecting?** It won't appear automatically. Click the **reload** button on the Google Accounts screen and AdsX fetches the new accounts and adds them to the list.
- **Google asked for a Passkey and you couldn't sign in?** See the article "How to fix the Passkey prompt when signing in with your Google account" here in the helpdesk.
- **Still can't connect?** You can add the account with the **Add account without Google Sign-in** button, using the account's email and ID. Campaign creation and conversion reporting work as usual; only the metrics dashboard isn't available for that account.
