You need permission to manage the site in Brightstone and reporting access to the intended Google AdSense account. This connection does not apply for or approve an AdSense account.

Connect the account

  1. Open Sites & integrations and select the website.
  2. Under Revenue & analytics providers, find Google AdSense and choose Connect.
  3. Select Continue with Google and review Google's permission screen.
  4. Use a Google identity that can access the intended publisher account.
  5. Select the reporting account or site offered by Brightstone and choose Complete setup.
  6. Return to the dashboard and select the matching site and reporting period.

Google sign-in for your Brightstone account and this reporting authorization are separate. You may use a different permitted Google identity for reporting.

Understand the figures

The adapter supports stored revenue, page views, impressions, requests and clicks where returned. Provider balance information is separate from revenue for a selected period. Reports can arrive late or be revised; a connected status does not establish that today's figures are finalized.

If the expected account is missing, check its permissions in Google before repeating consent. If reporting later needs attention, reconnect the existing integration rather than creating a second copy. Never paste Google access tokens into support messages.
