# Google Ads Google's advertising developer surface has four families: the Google Ads API (campaigns, reporting, an official MCP server), the Data Manager API (audiences and conversions), the Google Mobile Ads SDK (AdMob and Ad Manager in apps), and the IMA SDK (video ads). Marketing strategy is out of scope; this skill routes the engineering task to the `ads` group of the official catalog. ## Gotchas - **Credentials**: the Ads API needs a developer token plus an OAuth client; keep both in environment variables or Secret Manager. - **Money moves**: use a test account and `validate_only` requests before touching a live account; every mutation can spend budget. - **MCP**: the Ads MCP server runs locally with the same credentials; configure it per [agent-mcp](../agent-mcp/SKILL.md). ## Official Skills Upstream: `google/skills` (`skills/ads` group; pick by family: API quickstart or diagnostics, Data Manager ingestion, mobile SDK formats and migration, IMA client-side or DAI). List the current release, then install what the task needs at project scope after reviewing the snapshot (see [agent-skills](../agent-skills/SKILL.md)): ```bash skills add https://github.com/google/skills/tree/main/skills/ads --list skills add https://github.com/google/skills/tree/main/skills/ads --skill <name> -y ``` ## Documentation - [Google Ads API](https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/start) · [AdMob](https://developers.google.com/admob) · [IMA SDK](https://developers.google.com/int
