Google AdMob

Connect your AdMob account to enrich RevenueCat ad charts with readable ad unit names

AIAsk AIChatGPTClaude

Connect your Google AdMob account to RevenueCat to automatically sync ad unit names and make your ad analytics more readable.

Overview​

The Google AdMob integration syncs ad unit metadata from your AdMob account to RevenueCat. Instead of seeing cryptic ad unit IDs like ca-app-pub-1234567890123456/0987654321 in your charts, you'll see descriptive names like "Home Screen Banner" or "Rewarded Video - Bonus Coins".

This integration enhances the readability of your Ad Charts without requiring any code changes.

What Gets Synced​

  • Ad Unit Names: Human-readable names for each ad unit
  • Ad Unit Metadata: Additional context about your ad placements

The integration automatically syncs:

  • Immediately after you connect your Google account
  • Regularly afterwards to keep data up-to-date

All ad unit IDs tracked by RevenueCat will be enriched with names, regardless of which SDK integration method you're using.

Troubleshooting​

Ad unit names not appearing​

  1. Verify the connection: Check that your Google account is still connected in the Integrations settings
  2. Check permissions: Ensure RevenueCat has permission to access your AdMob data
  3. Wait for sync: Initial sync may take a few minutes after connecting
  4. Verify ad unit ownership: Ensure the ad units belong to the connected Google account

Wrong ad unit names showing​
