Google Ads

Connect your Google Ads account so Ranla can see spend, credit conversions, and propose changes on Grow → Paid. Budget and live ads only change after you approve.


What you get

  • Spend and hierarchy — campaigns, ad groups, ads, keywords, and search terms on Grow → Paid
  • Verified conversions — Ranla sends conversions it can prove back to Google when that path is on
  • Audiences — sync eligible segments for Customer Match when you accept the terms
  • Proposals, not silent spends — Ranla can draft campaigns or edits; you approve before money moves

Paid is the operate desk. Whether acquisition is worth it shows on Revenue.


Connect

  1. Open Settings → Integrations → Google Ads.
  2. Sign in with Google and pick the ad account Ranla should use.
  3. Save. Open Grow → Paid to confirm spend and structure show up.

You do not need a Google Cloud project or developer token. Connect and choose the account.


Tracking so paid clicks stick

Install the tracking snippet on your marketing site. After signup in your product, call:

stx.identify({ email: user.email })

That stitches the ad click to the contact. Without it, Paid LTV on Revenue stays incomplete even when Ads and Stripe look fine. Details: Revenue.


Approvals

Anything that changes budget, bids, or live creatives goes through Ranla’s approval card. Reject or edit before it applies. Read-only browsing on Paid never needs approval.


Next steps

Common questions

Do I need a Google Cloud project to connect Ads?

No. Open Settings → Integrations → Google Ads, sign in, and pick your ad account.

Can Ranla change my budget without asking?

No. Live spend and creatives only change after you approve the card. Browsing Paid is read-only until you approve.

Where do I see if ads are worth it?

Grow → Revenue joins Stripe LTV to channel CAC. Paid is the operate desk; Revenue is the scoreboard.
