Ads and paid search

Google Ads integration

Join what you pay for to what AI engines already say about you. The Google Ads integration brings campaign, keyword and conversion data into WriteWorks so paid demand and AI search visibility sit in one view.

What it is

What the Google Ads integration is

Nothing is written back. WriteWorks does not create campaigns, change bids or touch budgets. The connection exists so the visibility data WriteWorks collects across AI platforms can be read next to the paid performance you already measure.

That pairing answers a question neither tool can answer alone: for the terms you are buying, is the answer engine already recommending you, or is it recommending a competitor while you pay for the click?

What it does

What you can do with it

Four questions the two data sets answer together that neither answers alone.

Terms with strong AI citation coverage and heavy paid spend are the first place to look for savings. If an engine already recommends you, the click may not need buying twice.

How it works

How the Google Ads integration works

About a minute to connect, and nothing to maintain afterwards.

1

Connect your Google account

Open Settings, then Integrations, and choose Google Ads. Google asks you to sign in and approve read access. WriteWorks never sees your password, and the permission can be revoked from your Google account at any time.

2

Pick the ad account

Choose which Google Ads account this brand should read from. Agencies running several brands connect each one separately, so data never crosses between clients.

3

WriteWorks matches terms to prompts

Your search terms are matched against the prompts WriteWorks already tracks across AI platforms, so paid demand and AI visibility line up on the same rows.

4

Act on the gaps

Spend with no citation becomes a content brief. Citations with heavy spend become a bidding conversation. Both show up in Opportunities with the numbers attached.

Who it is for

Who uses the Google Ads integration

The same connection answers a different question depending on who is asking.

See which of your terms an AI engine already answers in your favour, and which are being handed to a competitor while you pay for the click.

You bring your own account. The Google Ads integration authenticates with your own account at Google Ads, on your own plan and your own quota. WriteWorks reads the data that account already has access to, and nothing else. Disconnect at any time and the stored credential is deleted.

FAQ

Google Ads integration FAQs

The questions teams ask before connecting it.

What does the Google Ads integration do?+
It reads campaign, ad group, keyword, spend and conversion data from your Google Ads account and shows it alongside the AI search visibility WriteWorks tracks. The point is to see, for a given term, whether AI engines already recommend you or whether you are paying for demand a competitor is being cited for.
Does WriteWorks change my campaigns or bids?+
No. The connection is read-only. WriteWorks does not create campaigns, adjust bids, change budgets or pause anything. It reads the data your account can already see and nothing else.
Do I need my own Google Ads account?+
Yes. Every integration uses your own account with that provider, on your own plan and your own quota. WriteWorks does not resell Google Ads data or provide access to an account you do not already have.
How do I connect Google Ads to WriteWorks?+
Open Settings, then Integrations, and choose Google Ads. Sign in with the Google account that has access to the ad account, approve read access, then pick which ad account this brand should read from. It takes about a minute.
Can agencies connect more than one Google Ads account?+
Yes. Each brand in WriteWorks connects its own Google Ads account, and data never crosses between brands. That is the same model the rest of the platform uses for multi-brand work.
What happens if I disconnect it?+
The stored credential is deleted and WriteWorks stops reading from the account immediately. Reports that used Google Ads data keep the figures already collected, and stop updating from that source.
Is my Google Ads data shared with anyone else?+
No. Data pulled through your connection is scoped to your organisation and used to power your own reporting inside WriteWorks. It is not pooled, resold or used to build benchmarks for other customers.
What does the Google Ads integration cost?+
Nothing beyond your WriteWorks plan. The integration reads from your existing Google Ads account, so the only cost involved is whatever you already spend with Google.
