Before you start
- You need to be an Admin or Standard user on the Google Ads account (Read-only users can connect but only view — no optimization)
- The Google account you sign in with must own / manage the ad account
- If you use a proxy / VPN, make sure the connection is stable — OAuth is jitter-sensitive
Steps
- In dashboard top-right, click "+ Connect account" → Google Ads
- On the OAuth consent screen, pick the Google account you want to authorize
- Confirm the requested scopes (default: read all reports; adjust bids / keywords / creatives)
- Click "Allow" — you return to the DEXUN AdWhiz dashboard
- The system pulls your account structure (accounts → campaigns → ad groups → keywords), usually within 30 seconds
- You'll see "Connected" plus a 7-day metric summary
MCC (Manager Account) tip: if you already have an MCC, connecting it auto-discovers all client accounts below it. You then pick which sub-accounts get AI recommendations from the dashboard.
Troubleshooting
"This account is already connected by another DEXUN user"
Each Google Ads account can be connected by only one DEXUN user at a time. If a teammate connected it first, ask them to invite you via dashboard → Settings → Team — don't try to reconnect.
I don't see my sub-accounts
Most common cause: the Google account you signed in with doesn't have manager rights on that sub-account. Check via Google Ads → Tools → Access and Security.
Revoking access
You can revoke DEXUN AdWhiz at any time from Google Account permissions. Within 7 days of revocation we automatically purge the refresh token from our storage.
