What You'll Need

  • Active Google Ads account with Performance Max campaigns
  • Google account (same one you'll use for Sheets)
  • Your script purchase email (contains script code)

Setup in 3 Steps

Step 1: Copy the Template Sheet

Open the template sheet (link in purchase email or script comments line 16) and make your own copy:

File → Make a Copy

Rename to something meaningful: "[Account Name] - PMax Insights v90"

Step 2: Install Script in Google Ads

Navigate to: Tools → Bulk Actions → Scripts

Click blue + New Script button

Paste your script code, then edit lines 18-20:

const SHEET_URL = 'paste-your-sheet-url-here'
const CLIENTCODE = 'client-name-or-code'

Step 3: Run and Authorize

Click Preview or Run button

Grant permissions when prompted (you'll see "Needs authorization")

Wait 30-60 seconds for first execution

Check your Google Sheet - you should see data populating across multiple tabs!

What Happens Next

  • Script creates tabs: PMax Overview, Search Terms, Placements, Assets, Products, etc.
  • Check the 'PMax Overview' tab for campaign summary
  • Set up daily schedule (recommended): Tools → Triggers → Time-driven → Daily 6-8am
