Why Connect Google Ads to GoHighLevel

Connecting Google Ads to GoHighLevel allows you to bring ad performance and lead activity into one place. Once connected, you can:

• View and manage Google Ads campaigns inside your CRM.
• Track which ads and keywords generate leads and opportunities.
• Use CRM data to improve targeting and budget decisions.

This integration keeps your advertising data aligned with sales and marketing workflows so your team can make better decisions faster.

Prerequisites for Google Ads and GoHighLevel Integration

Before you connect Google Ads with GoHighLevel, make sure you have:

• An active Google Ads account with admin access.
• Admin or appropriate permissions for your GoHighLevel account.
• Access to the correct sub-account (location) in your CRM where you want to connect Google Ads.

Having the right access ensures the connection process works smoothly and that data syncs to the correct GoHighLevel account.

How to Connect Google Ads in GoHighLevel

Follow these steps to link your Google Ads account to your CRM.

Step 1: Open the GoHighLevel Sub-Account

1. Log in to your GoHighLevel dashboard.
2. Select the specific sub-account (location) where you want to integrate Google Ads.

All campaign and tracking settings for Google Ads will be tied to this chosen sub-account inside GoHighLevel.

Step 2: Go to Settings in GoHighLevel

1. Inside the selected sub-account, locate the left-hand sidebar.
2. Click on Settings to open configuration options.

Settings is where GoHighLevel centralizes integrations, including Google Ads.

Step 3: Open the Integrations Section

1. Within Settings, find and click on the Integrations tab.
2. Look for the section related to Google services or Google Ads.

This area lists all integration options available for your GoHighLevel location, including the Google Ads connector.

Step 4: Start the Google Ads Connection

1. Locate the Google Ads integration tile or option.
2. Click the button labeled Connect or similar.

GoHighLevel will now redirect you to a Google sign-in flow where you can authorize access for the integration.

Step 5: Sign In with Your Google Account

1. Choose the Google account that owns your Google Ads profile.
2. Sign in with your email and password if prompted.
3. If you manage multiple Google Ads accounts, select the correct one during this process.

Make sure you select an account that has the right permissions to manage campaigns and view reporting, so GoHighLevel can access all required data.

Step 6: Grant Permissions to GoHighLevel

1. Google will show a list of permissions requested by GoHighLevel.
2. Review the requested access scopes, which typically include viewing and managing your Google Ads campaigns.
3. Click Allow to approve the connection.

Approving these permissions enables GoHighLevel to retrieve campaign information, costs, and performance data from Google Ads.

Step 7: Confirm Connection Status

1. After accepting permissions, you will be redirected back to your GoHighLevel Integrations page.
2. Locate the Google Ads integration status indicator.
3. Confirm that it now shows as Connected or active.

If the integration shows as connected, your Google Ads account is successfully linked to the chosen sub-account inside GoHighLevel.

Managing Google Ads Data in GoHighLevel

Once integrated, GoHighLevel can synchronize specific data from Google Ads into your CRM. While exact features may depend on your account level and configuration, you can typically:

• View campaign, ad group, and keyword performance metrics.
• Associate incoming leads with specific Google Ads campaigns.

This connection allows your team to see which campaigns are generating high-value leads and adjust budgets or messaging accordingly.

These capabilities help you go beyond click-through metrics and focus on actual revenue and pipeline impact.
