Internal tooling

How we use the
Google Ads API

Our internal tools connect to the Google Ads API to support campaign management and reporting. This page explains what we access, how we use it, and what we strictly do not do with it.

Core principle

Internal tool.
Not a product.

Amazing Marketing uses the Google Ads API exclusively as an internal tool. Our team uses it to retrieve performance data, automate reporting, manage campaigns, research keywords, and identify optimization opportunities for client campaigns.

We do not sell API access. We do not build products for external use. We do not provide third parties with any data accessed through the API. The integration exists solely to improve the quality and efficiency of our campaign management work.

Key principle: All data accessed through the Google Ads API is used only for managing the authorized client's own campaigns. It is not shared, aggregated, or resold under any circumstances.

Data flows from client-authorized accounts → through OAuth 2.0 → into internal tools → producing reporting, campaign management actions, keyword research, and optimization signals — all used exclusively for that client.

API use cases

How we use the
Google Ads API

Use Case 01

Campaign Performance Reporting

We retrieve granular performance data across campaigns, ad groups, keywords, and ads — at a depth and speed that manual review cannot achieve.

  • Impression, click, and conversion data by segment
  • Cost and ROAS at keyword and ad level
  • Quality Score and ad relevance signals
  • Automated report generation on a set schedule
  • Historical trend tracking and comparison
Use Case 02

Campaign Management

With the client's prior agreement, we use the API to make direct changes to campaigns — adjusting bids, budgets, ad copy, targeting, and campaign settings to improve performance.

  • Adjusting bids and bid strategies per campaign goals
  • Managing budgets and budget allocation across campaigns
  • Creating, pausing, and updating ads and ad groups
  • Managing keyword lists — adding, pausing, and adjusting match types
  • Updating targeting settings including audiences and locations
Use Case 03

Keyword Research & Discovery

We use the API to research keyword opportunities, analyze search volume and competition data, and identify new keywords to expand campaign reach.

  • Generating keyword ideas based on seed terms and URLs
  • Analyzing search volume, competition, and CPC estimates
  • Identifying negative keyword opportunities from search term reports
  • Discovering long-tail keyword variations for better targeting
Use Case 04

Optimization & Monitoring

The API lets us surface optimization signals that would be impractical to find manually — budget pacing, bid drift, anomalies, and cross-campaign patterns.

  • Underperforming keyword identification
  • Budget pacing and spend waste detection
  • Bid strategy performance monitoring
  • Search term analysis at scale
  • Auction insight data for competitive context
What we do
  • Access only accounts we are explicitly authorized to manage
  • Retrieve performance data for reporting and analysis
  • Manage campaigns, bids, budgets, and keywords with client agreement
  • Research keywords and discover optimization opportunities
  • Store only aggregated metrics needed for reporting
  • Maintain OAuth tokens securely with restricted access
  • Revoke access immediately when an engagement ends
What we never do
  • Share client account data with any third party
  • Aggregate or combine data across different clients
  • Sell, license, or monetize any API-sourced data
  • Provide API access or API-powered tools to others
  • Access accounts without explicit client authorization

Google Ads API Compliance Statement

Amazing Marketing uses the Google Ads API in full compliance with Google's Terms of Service, Developer Program Policies, and the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. Our use is limited to internal campaign management and reporting for client accounts that have explicitly authorized access via OAuth 2.0. We do not distribute, resell, or repurpose any data accessed through the API, and we do not provide the API or any API-powered tools to third parties.

Our use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. For full details, see our Privacy Policy.

Security & access

How we protect client data

OAuth 2.0 Authorization

All account access is established through Google's OAuth 2.0 protocol. We never request or store client Google account credentials. Authorization is granted by the client and can be revoked at any time through their Google account settings.

Access Control

Access to client account data within our systems is restricted to team members responsible for that client. OAuth tokens are managed securely and rotated as required. We maintain clear internal policies on who can access what.

Data Isolation

Each client's data is strictly isolated. We do not mix, cross-reference, or aggregate data between accounts. Performance data retrieved for one client is used exclusively for that client's campaign management.

Encrypted Transmission

All data exchanged with the Google Ads API travels over encrypted connections. We use industry-standard practices for credential storage. No sensitive campaign data is stored beyond what is required for active reporting.
