### Overview

Our Google Ads integration allows you to import your data; allowing you to clean, transform, and ask questions via Chat Explore.

### Importing Data

Depending on your choice, you will be brought to one of two prompts:

<figure><img src="/files/XIICinEIDewTBDrSMK4J" alt=""><figcaption><p>Custom Report Modal</p></figcaption></figure>

* Date Range - The range from which you want to pull data. The default range spans from the account creation date to the current date.
* Metrics - Measures of quantity such as impressions, clicks, cost per click, and conversion rate.
* Dimensions - Qualitative attributes that categorize metrics such as campaign name, ad group, keyword, and demographic data like age or gender.
  * Google Campaign Manager contains further documentation on their [Metrics and Dimensions](https://support.google.com/campaignmanager/topic/2823883)

Select "Continue" and we will then validate the connection.

If we're successful, you'll move forward to the data loading screen, where your data is syncing behind the scenes.

You may need to wait for a little bit for the data to import. Rest assured that we're importing data behind the scenes. Small datasets should only take a few minutes; large datasets may take longer.

Once your data is done importing, you'll see it populate onto the screen.

From here, you can do anything you like to the data - clean and transform it on the Prepare tab, ask Chat Explore questions on the Explore tab, you name it!
