the short answer

What do you get by connecting Google Ads and Salesforce?

askotter reads Google Ads and Salesforce side by side and puts both in one report for the business. The owner sees how activity in one leads to results in the other, gets an alert when a number moves and can ask questions by text.

From Google Ads: Campaign performance, Keyword data and quality scores, Ad group and creative performance.
From Salesforce: Leads and opportunities, Account and contact data, Pipeline stages and velocity.
Status: Salesforce is on the integration roadmap, so the matching described here starts when that connector ships.
Not for: Replacing Google Ads or Salesforce. Both keep working exactly as they do now.

Why connect Google Ads and Salesforce

Google Ads spend sits beside your Stripe payments and booking records, so the return is counted from your own books. It fits into our Google Ads management work.

matching the records

How Google Ads and Salesforce records line up

Google Ads and Salesforce both keep the UTM source, medium and campaign values from the visit, so activity lines up campaign by campaign even when no single person can be matched.

Shared between the two: the UTM campaign tags.

Salesforce is on the integration roadmap, so the matching described here starts when that connector ships.

What each tool sees on its ownShow less

Google Ads on its own

Google Ads counts the conversions it can see through its own tag. It cannot tell a refunded sale from a kept one, or a junk lead from a good one.

Timing. Google Ads credits a conversion back to the date of the click, so yesterday's conversion count can still rise for days.

Access. The Google Ads API with read access to the account.

Salesforce on its own

Salesforce sees leads, accounts and opportunities. It knows which campaign produced a lead only when someone records it there.

Timing. Salesforce opportunity stages move when someone updates them, so pipeline data is as current as the team's CRM habits.

Access. A connected app with read-only access to Lead, Contact, Account and Opportunity.
