How to Securely Connect Your Google Ads Account

Connecting your Google Ads account is the most important step to activate ClickSambo's automatic protection features. The connection is made through a secure, Google-approved process directly from your ClickSambo dashboard.

This process grants our application limited and specific permissions to protect your campaigns by automatically updating your IP exclusion lists and tracking templates.

As a certified Google Click Tracker partner, our integration has been verified by Google as secure and reliable. You can view our official listing on the Google Ads Help Center.

Step-by-Step Connection Guide

Troubleshooting

If you encounter an issue, check the following:

• Check Your Permissions: Ensure the Google account you are using has Admin or Standard level access to your Google Ads account. "Read-only" access is not sufficient.
• Pop-up Blockers: Temporarily disable pop-up blockers in your browser, as they can interfere with the Google authentication window.
• Connected the Wrong Account? If you linked the wrong Google Ads account, simply return to Account Settings > Connections, click "Disconnect," and then repeat the connection process.
