Genius connects to your authorized Google Ads account to analyze campaign performance and surface clear, prioritized recommendations — so you can make faster, more confident decisions about your Google campaigns. Genius is an independent software product that integrates with Google Ads by user authorization. Google Ads is a third-party service. Genius is not endorsed by or affiliated with Google except as an authorized API integrator.
When you connect a Google Ads account to Genius, Genius uses the Google Ads API to read your campaign performance data within the scope of permissions you authorize.
Genius uses that data to analyze performance patterns, identify optimization opportunities across multiple platforms, and surface specific recommendations about how to improve your Google Ads results.
All recommendations are presented for your review. You decide what actions to take. Genius does not make changes to your Google Ads account.

Genius reads performance and reporting data from your authorized Google Ads account. Below is a plain-language summary of the data types Genius accesses and why.
Campaign Data
Campaign name and status. Used to identify and display the connected campaign within Genius.
Performance Metrics
Impressions, clicks, spend, conversions, and conversion value — at the campaign level, aggregated by day, for the past 60 days. ROAS, CPC, CTR, and CPA are calculated by Genius from these fields and are not fetched directly from the Google Ads API.
Spend
Daily and total spend over time. Used to analyze spend pacing and efficiency within a campaign.
Genius analyzes your authorized data to generate insights and recommendations specific to your Google Ads account performance.
Performance Summaries
Clear summaries of your campaign performance — what's working, what's underperforming, and where the biggest opportunities are.
Budget Recommendations
When data suggests spend is not driving efficient results — Genius surfaces specific recommendations about pacing, cost per conversion, and campaign-level performance with supporting rationale.
ROAS & CPA analysis
Tracking ROAS and CPA trends over time, identifying campaigns that are above or below target, and surfacing what's driving those changes.
Conversion and Cost Trends
Tracking how conversions and cost-per-conversion shift over time, and surfacing what the data suggests is driving those changes.
Anomoly alerts
Flagging unusual spend patterns, sharp conversion rate drops, or other anomalies that may indicate a problem worth investigating.
