# Google Ads

<Tip>
  This source is incremental by default. This means only new data will be extracted on each run.
</Tip>

The Google Ads source allows you to extract data from your Google Ads account. If you have a Manager Account ID, you can extract data from all accounts in that manager account.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Authenticate">
    In the Authenticate step, click "Authenticate with Google" and you'll be redirected to a Google login page. Login with your Gmail account and grant access to Less.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configuration">
    In the Configuration step, you need to either input a Google Ads Customer ID or a Google Ads Manager Account ID.

    If you input a  Manager Account ID, you can extract data from all accounts in that manager account if you "Enable" the "Get all account available to manager account" checkbox. If you choose that, you're Customer ID will be disabled.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Date Interval">
    In the Date Interval step, you need to input the first/start date you want to extract data from. If you want to extract data from a fixed period, you can also input an end date.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Tables">
    In the Tables step, you need to select the tables you want to extract into Less. You can select predefined tables (Video Metrics and Campaigns) or you can write your own GAQL Queries. You can build you query in the Google Query Builder [here](https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/fields/v22/overview_query_builder).
