Linking Google Ads And Google Analytics
Linking Google Analytics and Google Ads accounts allows you to fully observe the behavior of a site user, meaning a potential customer. You can check their reaction to Google Ads campaigns (e.g. viewing and clicking on ads) or the number of conversions (i.e. valuable actions taken on the site by the user). These can be steps such as downloading an ebook, signing up for a newsletter, reading an article or making a purchase. As a result of the above integration, any Google Analytics user with access to the data selected when linking accounts will be able to see information imported from Google Ads. The same applies to Google Ads - if you choose to import Analytics data (remarketing lists, e-commerce goals/transactions, values) into a Google Ads account, it'll be available to all users of that account.Linking Google Ads And Google Analytics Accounts - A Step By Step Guide
Linking from Google Analytics
1. Ensure you have accesses that will allow you to link accounts. In the case of Google Analytics, these must be edit permissions. In the case of Google Ads - the administrative access. Remember that you can always remove administrative access after the configuration is finished. 2. Log in to your Google Analytics account. Here you can enter analytics.google.com or quickly open Google Analytics from your Google Ads account. Click the Tools tab, select Analytics and enter your login information.
3. Go to the Admin tab and select the property you want to connect to Google Ads (you can have multiple accounts in Analytics - each account can have multiple properties, and each property can have multiple views).
4. Find Google Ads in the property column, locate Google Ads and click.
5. It's time to select the group you want to edit. Click the new link group, and then select the appropriate group.

- Link: data on clicks and costs from Google Ads will be available in Analytics, whereas goals and transactions from Analytics will be available in Google Ads. Combine as many data views as you like.

5. Click save.
What data can be imported and exported after the integration?
Once your Google Ads account is connected to Google Analytics, go to the linked accounts tab. Here, you’ll see data imported from Google Analytics:- Data views: information about the number of views that are linked to this service. When you hover over the data, you'll see details about link data views and imported page information.
- Targets: information about the number of targets imported into conversion reports for a given service.
- Recipients: information about the number of created remarketing lists.
- Accounts: this is information for MCC accounts about the manager accounts that have access to the service (in other cases you'll see "This account" information).
