How To Stream Google Ads Marketing Activities to INCRMNTAL

This article explains how to integrate your Google / YouTube / Adwords account, allowing the INCRMNTAL platform to read any marketing activities performed in your account.

Tracking your marketing activities is key to INCRMNTAL’s ability to run uninterrupted, continuous, and accurate, incrementality measurements without any additional effort needed from you. Our platform detects marketing activities using changes in the conversion and cost data, as well as allowing you to manually input activities you preformed. 

The most accurate method for us to track marketing activities is by connecting directly to the media platforms and ad networks you use for media buying. 

We created integrations into over 25 known ad networks and media buying platforms.
