Connect LinkedIn Ads to Google BigQuery

How It Works

1

Export LinkedIn Ads to BigQuery—or anywhere

Under one subscription, send LinkedIn 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 LinkedIn 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 sets, 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 LinkedIn’s API allows. If you hit Meta’s rate limits, Porter automatically switches to BigQuery backups. Never blocked from accessing your data.

Monitor every LinkedIn 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.

Access over 500 fields from LinkedIn Ads plus extra calculated metrics. Your data matches Ads Manager exactly.

See all LinkedIn Ads fields documentation

All aggregations

Track post-click and post-view conversions with platform-specific aggregations. Break down by conversion type, action count, and custom conversion events defined in your LinkedIn campaigns.

Ad previews and creatives

Porter retrieves ad creative thumbnails and sponsored content previews alongside performance data. Connect creative performance with professional audience engagement metrics.

Full granularity

Segment data by campaign, ad group, ad unit, audience demographics (job title, seniority, company), location, and time. Analyze B2B performance at any level of detail.

Conversion tracking

Access post-click and post-view conversion data. LinkedIn uses its own conversion tracking system rather than configurable attribution windows like Meta.

Marketer-friendly naming

Fields named exactly as in Ads Manager. Campaigns, ad sets, and ads are familiar to marketers. Standardized for blending with PPC platforms, GA4, and CRM data.

Unlimited historical data

Access your entire LinkedIn Ads history without limitations. Porter stores all your historical data for trends and performance analysis over any time period.

Transparent accuracy

Your data matches Ads Manager exactly. Porter doesn’t manipulate or transform your data—what you see is exactly what Meta reports.

Why Marketers Move LinkedIn 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 LinkedIn 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 LinkedIn 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 Meta 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 LinkedIn Ads accounts, chains with multiple brands and locations—consolidate everything into one table. One report, one connection.
