Steps to Integrate HubSpot and Google Ads

HubSpot allows users to integrate their Google Ads data with ease using its in-built Google Ads connector. Before connecting HubSpot and Google Ads, users must ensure they meet the following requirements:

  • Users must have the publish access for the ads tool in HubSpot.
  • HubSpot doesn’t allow linking Google Manager accounts and allows linking an individual Google Ads account only.  
  • The HubSpot user must have the admin access of the Google Ads account.
  • Users must disable any Adblockers installed on their browser.
  • Google Ads accounts work in the Smart Mode by default, and any ad that a user creates is created as a Smart Campaign. HubSpot doesn’t support tracking Smart Campaigns, and hence the user must switch to Google Ads Expert Mode, before integrating.
