Google Ads is one of the most effective ways to attract visitors to your business. It lets you reach high-intent users when they’re searching, scrolling, streaming, and shopping online. You can connect with customers who are actively looking for exactly what you offer across Google’s network—including Search, YouTube, Gmail, and more.
But getting started can feel intimidating. You’re juggling multiple platforms, trying to figure out complex settings, and constantly wondering if you’re doing it right. And we understand that it’s important for you to get the most out of your marketing budget and feel confident in creating impactful campaigns.
That’s why with our latest release of MonsterInsights 9.8, we’ve added Google Ads creation! You will now be able to run, optimize, and manage Google Ads campaigns right from your already familiar MonsterInsights dashboard.
What’s New: Google Ads Made Simple
When you go to your MonsterInsights menu, you’ll now see a Google Ads link that lets you create and manage Performance Max campaigns without ever leaving your WordPress dashboard:
This means you can:
- Launch campaigns in minutes: Set up Google Ads that appear across Search, Gmail, YouTube, and more from a single campaign
- Get personalized recommendations: Google Ads helps you create effective ads based on your actual website data
- Monitor performance where you already work: Track and optimize your Google Ads campaigns next to all your other analytics
Imagine this: Instead of juggling multiple platforms to understand your marketing, you can launch a Google Ads campaign during your morning coffee break and monitor its performance right next to your organic traffic data.
Why This Changes Everything for Your Business
You’ll finally stop guessing about paid traffic and see how your Google Ads perform alongside your organic traffic, social media, and email campaigns. Instead of wondering which marketing channels actually work, you’ll know exactly which ones deserve more budget.
But the real game-changer? You’ll save hours every week. No more switching between Google Ads, Google Analytics, and your WordPress dashboard just to get a complete picture of your marketing performance. Everything you need is in one place where you’re already checking your stats anyway.
And because Google learns where to best show your ads while MonsterInsights shows you exactly how that paid traffic behaves on your site, you’ll get better results faster than trying to piece together data from multiple platforms.
The Perfect Integration: This new Google Ads creation feature works seamlessly with MonsterInsights’ existing PPC Ads Tracking addon. If you’re already tracking Google Ads, Microsoft Advertising, or Meta Ads with MonsterInsights, your new Google Ads campaigns will automatically appear alongside your existing conversion data.
No additional setup required – just create your campaign and watch the results flow into your familiar MonsterInsights dashboard, where you can compare performance across all your advertising channels.
This powerful new feature is perfect for:
- Service-based businesses looking to attract more qualified leads
- Digital product sellers wanting to scale their sales
- Content creators ready to monetize their traffic
- Local businesses needing more foot traffic or phone calls
- Anyone tired of complicated ad management who wants results without the headache
