How can we help?

Why does ClickSambo need manager access to my Google Ads account?

Approving manager access allows our automated system to act as a dedicated security guard for your ad campaigns. To do its job effectively, it needs the authority to monitor your traffic (read data) and block threats (update your IP exclusion list).

This connection is securely established via the official Google Ads API, and the Manager role is the standard, Google-approved way to grant applications the specific permissions needed for automated protection.

This access makes two essential functions possible:

1. To Analyze Campaign Data

What we do: Our system retrieves performance data, such as campaign details and click information (e.g., GCLID).

Why it's necessary: This allows us to connect each click to its source campaign and keyword, so we can accurately analyze its quality, context, and behavior to detect fraudulent patterns.

2. To Automatically Block Threats

What we do: We programmatically add the IP addresses of sources we identify as fraudulent to your campaign's IP exclusion list.

Why it's necessary: This is the core of our protection. This single action is what actively stops bots, competitors, and other malicious sources from seeing and clicking your ads again, directly saving your budget.

Your Security and Control Are Paramount

Granting access is both secure and fully under your control:

Secure Connection: The entire process uses Google's ultra-secure OAuth 2.0 protocol, meaning you never share your password with us.

Limited Permissions: Our access is strictly limited to reading performance data and managing IP exclusion lists. We cannot change your ad creatives, daily budgets, or billing information.

You Remain in Charge: You retain full ownership and control of your account. You can review and revoke our access instantly at any time from your Google Account security settings.
