To connect Facebook Ads (Meta's advertising platform, also called Meta Ads) to Looker Studio, you need a tool that brings your ad account data into Looker Studio, because Looker Studio does not offer a native data source for Facebook Ads. Kondado does exactly that: it connects your Facebook Ads account and delivers a ready-made report in Looker Studio, already filled with your data, with no code.
Summary
- Looker Studio has no native data source for Facebook Ads. You need a platform that replicates the data into it. Kondado is that platform.
- How to connect: create a Kondado account, authorize access to your ad account, choose Looker Studio as the destination and select the ready-made Facebook Ads template.
- What you get: a report with clicks, impressions, cost, CTR, CPM and CPC, split into an overview and a per-campaign breakdown.
- No code. Your data is refreshed at the frequency you choose in your account.
