What gets imported
The connector pulls advertiser, account (engine), campaign, ad-group, ad, and keyword performance from the SA360 Search API at daily granularity in the advertiser’s reporting currency. Metrics include cost, impressions, clicks, conversions, and conversion value, alongside derived rates such as CTR, CPC, CPM, CPA, and ROAS. Each Floodlight activity configured in the SA360 account is auto-discovered as a custom conversion metric family. The account breakdown exposes the underlying engine (Google Ads, Microsoft Ads, Yahoo, Naver, and others) so a single SA360 connection can compare performance across engines. For the complete metric list, breakdowns, and limits, see the Google Search Ads 360 data reference.Troubleshooting
