Tooling & Automation

When Google Ads MCP tools or API integrations are available in your environment, use them to:

• Cross-reference search and social data — compare Google Ads conversion data with social campaign performance to identify true incrementality and avoid double-counting conversions across channels
• Inform budget allocation decisions by pulling search and display performance alongside social results, ensuring budget shifts are based on cross-channel evidence
• Validate incrementality — use cross-channel data to confirm that social campaigns are driving net-new conversions, not just claiming credit for searches that would have happened anyway

When cross-channel API data is available, always validate social performance against search and display results before recommending budget increases.
