Connect Apple Search Ads to Google BigQuery

How It Works

1

Export Apple Search Ads to BigQuery—or anywhere

Under one subscription, send Apple Search Ads data to BigQuery, Looker Studio, Google Sheets, Slack, or Zapier. Build dashboards, reports, alerts, notifications, and AI workflows.

Connect multiple data sources

Three ways to connect to BigQuery

  • Google login: Sign in with Google and Porter auto-lists your BigQuery Project IDs. Select project, dataset location (US, EU, US-Central), name your dataset and table.

  • Service account (JSON): Upload your credentials. No Workspace admin approval needed.

  • New to BigQuery? Set up your first project automatically—no Google Cloud console, no billing, no technical setup. Create your report in Looker Studio directly.

Build your query with AI in natural language

The AI-native query builder. Describe what you need. No SQL, no complex forms.

  • Cross-channel fields: Select metrics and dimensions from Apple Search Ads and any data source. No data mapping or joins needed.

  • Custom fields: Use AI prompts to create custom metrics (e.g., blended ROAS, cost per lead) and dimensions (e.g., brand, region, creative hook). Segment data using naming conventions from campaigns, ad groups, keywords, or ads.

  • Filters: Include or exclude by any field. Combine with AND/OR logic.

  • Date ranges: Dynamic (Month-to-date, Last quarter) or fixed (custom start and end).

  • Schedule: Prompt refreshes like “Every day at 5am except weekends.” Freely schedule by hour, day, week, weekday, or month.

  • Refresh mode: Append (add rows), Update (match and refresh), or Overwrite (replace table).

  • Live preview: Preview your data before syncing to BigQuery. Catch errors before they cost you.

Scale data refreshes in natural language

Schedule refreshes in minutes, not hours. Real-time API data or stored BigQuery data—switch between both in the same connection. Refresh as frequently as Apple’s API allows. If you hit Apple’s rate limits, Porter automatically switches to BigQuery backups. Never blocked from accessing your data.

Monitor every Apple Search Ads sync to BigQuery

Track all queries in the Query Manager: name, data sources, last run at a glance. Open execution history—timestamp, success or failure. Toggle pipelines on/off anytime. Fix issues before they reach your reports, team, or clients.

Why Marketers Move Apple Search Ads Data to BigQuery

Faster Looker Studio reports

Direct connectors take 10+ seconds to load, time out, and break. BigQuery loads in 2 seconds, every time. No more broken dashboards before client calls.

Data blending

Combine Apple Search Ads with CRM, GA4, Shopify, Google Ads in one warehouse. Measure real profit, not platform ROAS. Calculate blended CAC across all channels.

Connect BigQuery to any BI tool

Connect to Looker Studio for instant dashboards. Or plug into Power BI, Tableau, any BI tool. Unlock multi-touch attribution with raw GA4 data.

Multi-touch attribution

Join Apple Search Ads with raw GA4 event data. Trace the full user path from ad click to conversion.

Source of truth

Define what “conversion” means for your company. Compare Apple Search Ads vs. GA4 vs. HubSpot. Pick one source for CAC, ROAS, and CPA. End the “which number is right” debate.

Company-wide access without platform permissions

Managing permissions across platforms is a pain. With BigQuery, anyone can access marketing data without accounts or roles in each platform. One permission model, all data.

Make data available for AI

AI needs clean, structured data with context. Every AI tool feels siloed. Integrating sources is complicated. With BigQuery as your universal warehouse, any AI tool can access your marketing data. No custom integrations. No complicated setup.

Scale across accounts, clients, and brands

Reports break when you connect too many accounts. BigQuery has no limits. Agencies with dozens of clients, franchises with dozens of Apple Search Ads accounts, chains with multiple brands and locations—consolidate everything into one table. One report, one connection.
