Before you begin
To link Google Ads to Salesforce, you’ll need administrative access to a Google Ads account, as well as a Salesforce account that meets specific minimum permission requirements. You should also use a dedicated Salesforce login, instead of your own personal login. For unlinking and editing an existing link from Google Ads, only administrative access to a Google Ads account is required.
