Is my ad account safe? Will connecting it to Claude get it banned?
–
No — using Porter doesn’t put your Google Ads account at risk, and you can verify it yourself. Porter connects through Google’s official Ads API (v23), never scraping, automated browsers or session cookies — the same access path as Google Ads Editor or Looker Studio. It’s a Google-approved app: the developer token Google issues only after reviewing the app lives on Porter’s servers, so API compliance is on us, not on your advertiser account. You connect via OAuth 2.0 with access limited to Google Ads and your basic profile — never Gmail or Drive — and you can revoke it anytime from your Google security settings. Most of what Porter does is read-only; every write action is flagged and asks for explicit confirmation, and any campaign it creates starts paused, so nothing spends without your approval. And every change appears in your Google Ads change history, so it’s fully auditable and reversible.
Does Porter read and write on the platforms?
–
Both. Porter reads your data for reporting, and also writes back: it creates and edits campaigns, uploads creative and schedules posts through each platform’s official API.
Can I try it for free? How does pricing work?
–
Yes — there’s a free-forever plan, no credit card. Paid pricing depends on the product: Reporting is billed by the number of accounts you connect, with destinations mostly unlimited (Google BigQuery is the exception — an enterprise plan that needs a call). Automation — the tools for writing, research and creative — is billed by credits and tasks.
How is Porter different?
–
Porter gives you the infrastructure to run everything from the tools you already use — your Claude or ChatGPT subscription. Instead of buying and stitching together more software, you get a ready set of tools, skills and agents, so you can build your whole marketing stack from the ground up inside Porter.
What is Porter Metrics and what can I do with it?
–
Porter Metrics is an AI-native marketing reporting and automation platform. It lets you run all your marketing from your Claude, ChatGPT or any AI subscription — giving you the tools, skills and agents to replace your legacy tools and automate more of your work. From a single chat you can connect 30+ data sources, build white-label dashboards, run ads and social, research competitors and their strategies, generate images and video, and export everything to Google Sheets and BigQuery.
How is Porter different from each platform’s official MCP?
–
An official MCP covers one platform: you connect Meta’s, then Google’s, then TikTok’s, and each one speaks its own metrics, its own login and its own limits. Your AI still can’t answer “how did paid media do this month?” in a single pass. Porter is one MCP for 25+ sources: the same metric names across channels, blended reports, and write-back on the platforms that allow it — budgets, pauses and creative uploads.
