      Google Ads notes/limitations

       

      1.  DashThis supports Performance Max, Local Service Ads & Smart Campaigns.

      2. Auction insights are currently not available in the Google Ads API. To learn more about how to pull this information into DashThis, please visit this article.

      3. Google Ads conversions metrics are refreshed for the current period and the previous 30 days. This means that if one of your campaigns brought conversion days or weeks after the user saw your ad, the data would be updated up to 30 days after the dashboard’s period is over.

      4. With our Google Ads integration, you can use the Ad dimension in a Multi-Column List widget. With this type of custom widget, you can see a reproduction of a google search result including your Ad, Campaign, and Ad Group.

      5. The Search Ad with Preview dimension is only available with a multi-column list widget.

      6. To help you analyze customer activity on your website, you can link your Google Ads account with your Google Analytics account. More details regarding this information can be found in this article.

      7. Due to Google Ads' API restrictions, all Shopping dimensions can't be used with "Conversion Rate" and "All Conversion Rate" metrics; and the Product Title dimension can't be used with any metric related to Conversions (i.e. Conversions, Conversion Value, Cost per Conversion, Effective Revenue Share, ROAS, etc.) as well as the "Conversion Name" and "Conversion Category" filters.

      8. Shopping Campaign Product images are not available with Google Ads API however, you can pull the product title depending on which metric you choose.
