# Google Ads as a Destination

**Google Ads**, previously My Client Centre (MCC), is an online advertising platform that enables businesses to create and display ads on Google's search engine and advertising network. It offers a range of ad formats, targeting options, and bidding strategies, allowing businesses to reach their desired audience and drive traffic, leads, and conversions through paid search and display advertising.

With Dataddo, eliminate data silos by copying enriched data from a data warehouse into Google Ads for immediate, in-context insights.

## Limitations
### Flow Action Log
In some cases, even though the data writing operation was marked as successful in Dataddo, **some rows don't get uploaded**. For this reason, we higly recommend checking the **Flow Action Log** to regularly confirm the number of uploaded rows.

1. On the [Flows](https://app.dataddo.com/flows){target=`_blank`} page, identify your ***data flow***.
2. Click on the three dots and select **Show Logs**.
3. Click on the arrows on the right to open the log **Details**.

| Log | Meaning |
|---|---|
|`rowCount`| The number of **successfully uploaded** rows. |
|`uploadFailedRowsCodes`| The number of rows that **failed to be uploaded**, including the specific error codes for each failure. |
|`uploadFailedRowsMessages`| Detailed error messages explaining the reasons for failed upload attempts. |

See Google's official documentation for [a list of error codes and their meanings](https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/reference/rpc/v13/ConversionUploadErrorEnum.ConversionUploadError){target=`_blank`}.

## Troubleshooting

### No Rows Uploaded
In your **Flow Action Log**, you can see the **number of rows successfully uploaded** to your Google Ads account.

If no new records are present in your ***data source***, zero uploaded rows could be marked as a successful operation.
