Prerequisites for Google Ads Connection in GoHighLevel

Before you start the connection process, ensure you have the following:

  • An active Google account with access to Google Ads.
  • Admin or sufficient permissions on the Google Ads account you want to connect.
  • Access to the correct location or agency account inside GoHighLevel where Ad Manager is enabled.

Confirm that you can log in to both your Google account and your GoHighLevel account in the same browser. This will help avoid authorization errors during the connection flow.

Step-by-Step: Connect Google Ads to GoHighLevel

Follow these steps in order to connect your Google Ads account with the Ad Manager inside GoHighLevel.

Step 1: Open Ad Manager in GoHighLevel

  1. Log in to your GoHighLevel account.
  2. Navigate to the specific sub-account or location where you manage ads.
  3. In the left-hand navigation menu, locate and click on Marketing or directly on Ads, depending on your interface.
  4. Open Ad Manager. This is the area where your Google Ads connection will be configured.

Once you are in Ad Manager, you will see options to connect different advertising platforms, including Google.

Step 2: Start the Google Connection

  1. Inside Ad Manager, find the section labeled Google or Connect Google Ads.
  2. Click the Connect or Sign in with Google button.
  3. A Google authorization window will open in a new tab or popup.

If the window does not appear, ensure your browser is not blocking popups and try again.

Step 3: Authorize GoHighLevel with Google

  1. In the Google window, select the Google account that has access to the Google Ads profile you want to use.
  2. Review the list of permissions requested. These typically include:
  • Permission to view and manage your Google Ads campaigns.
  • Access to basic account information needed for Ad Manager.
  1. Click Allow to grant GoHighLevel access.

This authorization step is required so the platform can pull campaign data and apply any changes you make from within Ad Manager.

Step 4: Choose the Google Ads Account in GoHighLevel

  1. After authorization, you will be redirected back to GoHighLevel Ad Manager.
  2. You should now see a dropdown or list of available Google Ads accounts associated with the authorized Google login.
  3. Select the exact Google Ads account you want to connect to this GoHighLevel location.
  4. Confirm your selection by clicking Save or Connect.

Once this is done, the system will complete the link between the selected Google Ads account and your GoHighLevel Ad Manager.

Syncing Campaigns from Google Ads into GoHighLevel

With the connection active, the next step is to sync existing campaigns so that they appear in your GoHighLevel dashboard.

Step 5: Import Existing Campaigns

  1. In Ad Manager, look for an option such as Sync Campaigns or Import from Google Ads.
  2. Click the button to start the sync process.
  3. Wait while the system fetches your active and eligible campaigns from Google Ads.

After the sync, you should see your campaigns listed with key metrics, depending on the current data available from Google.

Step 6: Verify Campaign Data in GoHighLevel

  1. Review the imported campaigns in the GoHighLevel Ad Manager interface.
  2. Check that campaign names, statuses, and basic metrics appear as expected.
  3. Confirm that the correct account and campaigns are displayed, especially if you manage multiple Google Ads accounts.

If something looks incorrect, revisit the account selection in the connection settings and ensure that you chose the proper Google Ads profile.

Managing Google Ads Inside GoHighLevel

Once the connection and sync are complete, you can begin monitoring and managing your Google Ads through GoHighLevel.

Key Actions You Can Take

  • View performance metrics for campaigns pulled from Google Ads.
  • Track leads and conversions that result from your ads.
  • Use the centralized dashboard to compare campaigns across platforms.

Different accounts may have slightly different options, but the core purpose remains the same: give you a consolidated view of advertising performance inside GoHighLevel.

Troubleshooting Google Ads Connection in GoHighLevel

If you encounter issues when linking Google Ads, use the following checks:

  • Authorization errors: Log out of Google in your browser, log back in with the correct account, and restart the connection from GoHighLevel Ad Manager.
  • No accounts showing: Make sure your Google login actually has access to an active Google Ads account.
  • Missing campaigns: Confirm that campaigns are active or eligible in Google Ads and then run the sync again.
