What makes this Google Ads dashboard different

What you get that the Google Ads interface or an exported report can’t give you.

  • Ask the next question in the same chat

    Spot a jump in cost per conversion, then ask Claude which terms caused it.

  • Act on it after you approve

    Ask Claude to add a negative keyword or change a budget. Porter asks first.

  • Pace against your own budget

    Give Claude monthly budgets and see month-end spend per campaign.

  • See what happens after the click

    Add GA4 to see the sessions and key events each campaign brings.

  • Send clients a report on your logo

    Publish it in Porter and email it on the day you choose.

  • Share it without Google Ads access

    Anyone with the Porter link sees the numbers.

What the dashboard includes

  • KPI cards against the previous period
  • Campaign, search term, budget and impression share tables
  • Search, Shopping and Performance Max side by side
  • Conversions by hour, ad and conversion action
