Google Ads can generate demand—but it’s hard to prove what that demand is worth when your ad data lives in one place and your hotel performance data lives somewhere else. 

With the Google Ads integration in Mews Business Intelligence (Mews BI), you can bring Google Ads metrics into Mews BI and analyze them alongside hotel outcomes like Booked Rooms, Total Operating Revenue, and Marketing Revenue – so you can make smarter, faster decisions about where to invest (and what to stop).  


What you can do with it 


Here are a few practical ways customers use the Google Ads dashboard once it’s connected: 

1) Prove marketing impact in commercial terms (not vanity metrics) 


Move beyond clicks and impressions by tracking ROAS and MER against real hotel performance—ideal for reporting to owners, GMs, or finance with confidence.  


2) Spot wasted spend faster 


Use CPA, CTR, CPC/CPM, and conversions to quickly identify campaigns that look busy but aren’t contributing meaningful outcomes—then reallocate budget to what performs.  


3) Optimize campaigns around the stay, not just the click 


The dashboard separates Pickup Period (ad activity) and Check-in Period (hotel outcomes), so you can see how campaigns are supporting upcoming stays—not just generating immediate traffic.  


4) Run multi-property marketing with clarity (especially for shared campaigns) 


For groups running regional or brand campaigns, campaign mapping (including weighted allocation) makes it possible to understand performance at a property level—without messy spreadsheets or guesswork.  


5) Get a single source of truth for weekly performance reviews 


Instead of exporting from Google Ads and stitching data together manually, teams can use the Google Ads Marketing dashboard as a consistent view for recurring commercial meetings.  


What you’ll get 


Once connected, Mews BI will:  

  • Deploy a Google Ads Marketing dashboard in Mews BI  

  • Ingest up to 6 months of historical Google Ads data (may take a few hours)  

  • Refresh data nightly for the previous day (today’s data appears tomorrow)

Where to find the connector 


Go to Mews BI Settings → Data connectors, then select Google Ads.  


Next step 


If you’re ready to connect the dots between ad spend and hotel outcomes, the Google Ads integration is a great place to start—especially for teams managing multiple properties or running shared campaigns.
