# Ads Connectors



Two connectors sit in the **Ads** category. Neither is a two-way ads
integration, and one of them is not an ads connector at all.

## Meta Ads [#meta-ads]

*"Connect your Meta Ads account to view insights of your active ad
campaigns."*

OAuth from the **Integrations** screen. What it gives you is **read-only**:
insights from campaigns that are already running, inside Surface, so ad
performance sits next to the leads it produced.

**It is not the Conversions API.** Surface does not send conversion events back
to Meta through this connector. If you want Meta to know a lead converted, that
is a browser-side event, and it is documented separately:
[Meta Ads tracking](https://www.withsurface.com/docs/build/events/meta-ads-tracking).

## LinkedIn [#linkedin]

*"Sync your LinkedIn lead gen forms and their leads into Surface as forms and
responses."*

Despite the category, this has nothing to do with ad reporting. It is a **Lead
Gen Form sync**: your LinkedIn Lead Gen Forms appear in Surface as forms, and
the leads they collect appear as responses, so LinkedIn leads land in the same
[Lead Data Layer](https://www.withsurface.com/docs/platform/leads) as everything else and go through the same
[agents](https://www.withsurface.com/docs/platform/lead-agents/overview), scoring and routing.

<Warning>
  The connector is called **LinkedIn**, not "LinkedIn Ads". Anywhere you still
  see it named LinkedIn Ads, that name is wrong, and it has misled people into
  expecting ad spend reporting that this connector does not provide.
</Warning>

It manages its own connection state rather than going through the shared OAuth
hook, so its card behaves slightly differently from the CRM cards. Connecting
is still one click.

## Google Ads Is Not Here [#google-ads-is-not-here]

There is no Google Ads connector. You fire conversion events into Google Ads
from the browser instead, which is a different mechanism with different setup:
[Google Ads tracking](https://www.withsurface.com/docs/build/events/google-ads-tracking).

## Where the Ad Money Question Actually Gets Answered [#where-the-ad-money-question-actually-gets-answered]

Neither connector reports revenue. Surface's
[conversion funnel](https://www.withsurface.com/docs/platform/traffic/conversion-funnel) stops at meetings
booked, which is deliberate: it measures what Surface can observe. Attribution
past that point belongs in your CRM, or in
[DreamData](https://www.withsurface.com/docs/platform/integrations/dreamdata).
