Question 1

How does AdCTO connect to my Google Ads account?

Accepted Answer

AdCTO connects securely using the official Google OAuth 2.0 protocol with read-only permissions. You never share your password, and access can be revoked at any second with 1 click in your Google Security settings.

Question 2

Can AdCTO accidentally modify or pause my active campaigns?

Accepted Answer

No. Our Google Ads API token is strictly scoped to Read-Only access. AdCTO does not possess write or mutation permissions, making accidental edits technically impossible.

Question 3

Will my manager, agency, or team see that AdCTO has been connected?

Accepted Answer

No. AdCTO does not attach as a manager account (MCC) or user in your Google Ads user list. The connection is a direct private API integration visible only to you.

Question 4

How long does a full audit take and what parameters are scanned?

Accepted Answer

A complete audit takes approximately 45 to 60 seconds. Our engine pulls live GAQL data across 150+ signals including Quality Score components, search term conversion rates, negative keyword conflicts, asset group health, and landing page latency.

Question 5

How does the Free Plan work?

Accepted Answer

Every user receives 1 full comprehensive audit report for 1 Google Ads account completely free of charge, with full access to financial waste calculations and fix recommendations. No credit card is required.

Question 6

Is my campaign data and financial performance private?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. All API tokens and metrics are encrypted at rest using industry-grade Fernet 256-bit keys and transmitted over TLS 1.3. We never sell, share, or use your advertising data to train public models.
