How to Get Started With the Ads Addon

The MonsterInsights Ads Addon makes it easy to insert your Google Ads conversion ID into your WordPress site for you, as well as a conversion label for eCommerce tracking.

To access the addon, you must have the Plus license plan or higher. Before starting, you’ll also have to have the MonsterInsights plugin installed and authenticated with Google Analytics.

Installing the Ads Addon

First, go to Insights » Addons and click Install under the MonsterInsights Ads addon.

After the plugin is installed, the button will auto-activate. (If it doesn’t, go ahead and click the Activate button to make sure the addon is active and ready to use.)

Now you’ll need to integrate Analytics with your Google Ads account.
