Read-only by design

Catchr gives Claude eight tools, and all eight of them read.

What Claude can read

Claude can list the platforms and accounts connected to your workspace, browse the available fields, and run reporting queries against them. That covers spend, delivery, conversions, and creative performance, down to the level you ask for.

What Claude cannot touch

Claude cannot create, pause, or edit a campaign, move a budget, publish an ad, or change an audience. There is no write permission to grant, so there is none to supervise.

Where the change still happens

In Ads Manager. Decide in the conversation what to change and why, then act with the access and the review your team already uses.

Twelve Google Ad Manager prompts for analyzing real account data.

Choose your role, open a workflow, then replace the bracketed variables before pasting the prompt into Claude. Every prompt asks for evidence, limits, and a concrete output.

Agency promptCopy prompt

Replace [variables] Facts ≠ hypotheses Action + follow-up metric

A simple client question should not trigger an hour of data prep

“Why did CPA rise?” sounds simple. The answer is usually buried across exports, formulas, filters, and tabs before the analysis can even start.

Pull another CSV

Choose the right account, date range, breakdowns, and fields. Then wait for the file and do it again when the question changes.

Rebuild the context

Rename columns, fix formats, join tabs, and check formulas before you can trust the comparison.

Summarize it by hand

Turn the numbers into a client-ready answer, then repeat the whole process for the inevitable follow-up.

Ask the account. Get to the explanation.

Catchr MCP gives Claude access to the marketing accounts you select, so each follow-up starts with the same marketing context instead of a new manual export.

The hard way

Prepare data before every question.

  • Export files from the marketing platform
  • Reformat and reconcile columns
  • Rebuild the analysis for each follow-up
The Catchr way

Connect once. Keep asking.

  • Select the right accounts and data
  • Ask in the language your team already uses
  • Investigate with follow-up questions

Google Ad Manager to Claude: FAQ

Clear answers for marketers comparing connectors, data sources, reporting workflows, and dashboard setup.

What Google Ad Manager data can Claude analyze through Catchr?

Claude can analyze returned Google Ad Manager reporting data such as Total revenue, Ad server total revenue, Ad Exchange CPC, Ad Exchange CTR, AdSense CTR, and yield group estimated revenue. It can break results down by fields including Date, Country, Inventory type, and Content source name, subject to the selected network, report compatibility, permissions, and requested period.

How granular can Google Ad Manager analysis be in Claude?

Claude can work with Google Ad Manager data at day, week, month, or hour granularity when the requested fields support that breakdown. It can also segment results by dimensions such as country, inventory type, and content source, but incompatible metrics and dimensions should remain in separate analyses.

Can Claude compare Google Ad Manager revenue across periods?

Yes, when the selected fields and periods are available through Catchr. Claude can compare Total revenue, Ad server revenue, Ad Exchange CPC, or yield group estimated revenue by date, week, month, country, or inventory type; include the network, period, currency context, and comparison target in your prompt.

Can Claude investigate Google Ad Manager performance changes?

Claude can identify changes supported by the returned records, such as shifts in CTR or revenue across dates, countries, inventory types, or content sources. Ask it to separate measured observations from possible explanations and to show which fields support each finding.

What prompts work well for Google Ad Manager analysis in Claude?

Effective prompts specify the network, date range, reporting grain, metrics, dimensions, and desired output. For example, ask Claude to compare Total revenue by inventory type, review Ad Exchange CTR by country, or summarize monthly yield group estimated revenue while flagging missing or incompatible fields.

Can Claude use every Google Ad Manager report field through Catchr?

No. The connector exposes directly requestable historical dimensions and metrics included in its checked-in schema. Fields that require custom dimension key IDs or custom field IDs are excluded, and available combinations still depend on Google Ad Manager report compatibility and your permissions.

Can Claude combine Google Ad Manager data with other Catchr sources?

Yes, when the other sources are also connected and available through Catchr. Before combining results, align dates, currencies, identifiers, account scope, and metric definitions; if a reliable join is not supported, ask Claude for a side-by-side comparison instead.

What do I need to connect Google Ad Manager to Claude with Catchr?

You need access to the relevant Google Ad Manager network, authorization through Google OAuth, a connected Catchr workspace, and Catchr MCP enabled in Claude. The connection requests identity details and Google Ad Manager access, while the selected network and its permissions determine which reporting data is available.

How recent is Google Ad Manager data in Claude, and how much history is available?

Claude analyzes the Google Ad Manager records returned through Catchr, not automatically real-time data. Some CTR metrics update nightly, while overall freshness and historical coverage depend on the selected fields, reporting period, network, permissions, and Google Ad Manager API limits. Ask Claude to identify the latest available record date and any missing periods before interpreting trends.

Can Claude change Google Ad Manager data or settings through Catchr?

No. This Catchr workflow provides Google Ad Manager reporting data to Claude for analysis and does not give Claude permission to modify the source. Use its findings to prepare recommendations, then apply any changes separately in Google Ad Manager with the appropriate access and review.
