# Reach customers with Google Ads

> Create and manage Google Ads campaigns with Replit. Prepare ad copy and images, review your campaign budget, and track performance from your Replit chat.

Replit helps you turn your website or app into a Google Ads campaign. It uses your product's content to draft ad copy, prepare images, and recommend campaign settings. You review the plan and approve spending before your ads run.

## Before you start

For a new Replit-managed Google Ads account, you need:

* A Replit Pro plan and a personal Workspace.
* Auto-reload enabled and available Replit credits.
* A live website or published app to advertise.

Start a chat in your personal Workspace and ask Replit to help you run Google Ads. Follow any setup prompts before continuing. See [Replit plans](https://replit.com/pricing) for current plan details.

Help me advertise my booking app to independent tutors. Use my published site to
suggest a campaign, ad copy, and an average daily budget. Show me the plan before
launching.

## Connect or create an account

Tell Replit whether you already have a Google Ads account.

| Account option | How it works |
| - | - |
| Create a new account | Replit creates and manages the Google Ads account. Replit deducts ad spend from your credit balance and shows it in your usage. You do not need to add a separate payment method in Google Ads. |
| Connect an existing account | Sign in with the Google account that has access, then select the advertising account you want to use. Its existing Google Ads billing arrangement remains separate from Replit-managed billing. |

Connecting an account does not approve campaign spending.

## Prepare your campaign

Replit supports **Performance Max** campaigns. Google combines your headlines, descriptions, and images into ads across Search, YouTube, Display, Discover, and other Google channels. Google chooses which combinations to show and where, based on your campaign goal.

Replit helps you work through:

* **Goal:** What should customers do—sign up, become a lead, or make a purchase?
* **Destination:** Which live page should the ads promote?
* **Audience:** Which locations and languages should the campaign reach?
* **Creative:** Which headlines, descriptions, and images should the ads use?
* **Budget:** Control your ad spend by choosing an average daily budget.

### Set up measurement

Ask Replit to help set up conversion tracking in your app so you can measure useful actions, not just clicks. A conversion is an action you want a customer to take, such as completing a signup or purchase.

Replit guides you through identifying actions that create business value, such as signups or purchases, and assigning values to them. Tracking these conversions helps you evaluate the return on your ad spend.

## Review and launch

**1. Review the campaign**

Check the account, destination, creative, targeting, conversion goal, and average daily budget before approving activation.

**2. Approve activation**

Campaigns can be created in a paused state. A paused campaign does not serve ads. Approve activation when you are ready for it to run and spend.

**3. Check the status**

Replit reports the campaign's saved status. **Enabled does not mean ads are already serving**: Google's review, account eligibility, and other requirements can affect when ads start.

## Understand your budget and billing

Campaign creation through Replit requires an average daily budget of at least \$15 USD, within the limit shown during setup.

> [!WARNING]
>
> An average daily budget is not a hard daily spending cap. Google can spend more on some days and less on others.
> See Google’s [budgets overview](https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/10486536?hl=en) for how average daily budgets and spending limits work.

For Replit-managed accounts, keep these billing details in mind:

* Ads use the same Replit credit balance as your other usage. Auto-reload can charge your payment method to replenish that balance. See [Managing spend](https://docs.replit.com/billing/managing-spend.md) to review usage and billing controls.
* Google's reporting is delayed. Usage and charges may appear after the activity occurred, including after you pause a campaign.
* Replit usage for preparing and managing ads is separate from the advertising spend itself.

Ask Replit to confirm how and when your campaign will stop. Do not assume the campaign will stop automatically.

## Check results and make changes

Ask Replit for performance over a specific period:

How did my campaign perform over the last seven days? Show spend, impressions,
clicks, and any reported conversions. Recommend one change without applying it.

You can also ask Replit to pause or resume a campaign, or change its budget. Review any spending approval requested for activation or a budget increase.

Pause my campaign and confirm its status.

For regular updates, ask Replit to set up a reporting routine:

Set up a weekly routine to report campaign spend and results.

Reporting and scheduled actions require setup; they are not enabled automatically when a campaign launches. Allow time for Google's review, learning, and reporting before judging performance. Running ads does not guarantee leads, sales, or a return on your spend.

## Launch limitations

* Performance Max is the supported campaign type for this launch.
* Replit-created accounts can run one campaign at a time.
* The Replit-managed launch is for personal Workspaces, not Enterprise Workspaces.
* Google promotional credits are not included in this release.
* A Mission budget is not an advertising spending cap.
