How to connect Google Analytics 4 to Ads Manager

By the Answerbid teamVerified 12 October 20262 min read

Short answer

In Ads Manager go to Conversions > Data Sources > Create, choose Google Analytics 4, sign in with a Google account that has at least Viewer access, approve read-only access and select the property. It is a beta that needs your account manager; event mapping is "coming soon", and the totals cover all traffic, not ChatGPT conversions.

Steps

  1. Conversions > Data Sources > Create
  2. Select Google Analytics 4 and review data terms
  3. Sign in with a Google account with Viewer or higher on the property
  4. Approve read-only access
  5. Select and confirm the property

Limits

  • One GA4 connection and one property per advertiser account
  • First report covers the last 30 completed days
  • Totals include all traffic sources and aren't ROAS
  • Google Workspace may block third-party apps; don't bypass warnings

Questions

Should we still tag URLs with UTMs?

Yes. UTMs are how GA4 attributes ChatGPT ad sessions on its side.
