Perplexity is built for answers with sources, so it can put your own numbers next to benchmarks, platform changes and news it finds on the web.

  • Your whole Google Ads account

    Campaigns, ad groups, ads and assets, ready to ask about.

  • Always today's numbers

    Performance Max asset groups, synced from Google Ads automatically, so answers use today's numbers.

  • Connect all your tools

    Questions like "What's our real ROAS?" use Google Ads and Meta Ads, GA4 at once.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, through Lemonado. Connect your Google Ads account in Lemonado, add Lemonado as a remote connector in Perplexity, and Perplexity can find search terms that waste budget with your live data.

Not easily. Google publishes an open-source Google Ads MCP server (googleads/google-ads-mcp on GitHub). It's free and read-only, but it runs locally or on your own Cloud Run and needs a Google Cloud project with OAuth credentials. Perplexity needs a remote server, so you'd have to host it yourself. Lemonado is already hosted: add one URL and sign in.

Open the Lemonado connector card and check it's switched on and signed in. Custom connectors need Perplexity Pro, Max or Enterprise. In Lemonado, check that Google Ads is connected and External tools is on for the company. If you sign in with a manager (MCC) account, ask about a client account by name: the data sits in the client accounts, not the manager.

Yes, if both are connected in Lemonado. One connection reaches every source you allow, so you can ask things like "Put Google Ads spend next to Stripe revenue by week for the last quarter."

MCP is included in Lemonado's paid plans and in the free trial, so you can try it before you pay.
