Best When

An advertising analyst or PPC manager needs to explore Google Ads data conversationally without writing GAQL queries manually, especially across multiple accounts under an MCC.

Avoid When

You need to make campaign changes programmatically, or you cannot obtain a Google Ads Developer Token (approval takes 1-3 business days and has initial test-mode limitations).

Use Cases

• Analyze campaign performance metrics (impressions, clicks, conversions, ROAS) over custom time periods
• Run custom GAQL queries to extract specific advertising data
• Compare desktop vs. mobile performance and identify top converting keywords
• Monitor budget and bid strategy effectiveness across multiple accounts
• Generate trend charts and visualizations of ad performance data

Not For

• Creating or modifying ad campaigns (read-oriented tooling)
• Users without a Google Ads Developer Token
• Real-time bidding or programmatic ad buying
