Hostinger customers can now launch Google Ads campaigns and track the results from inside the Hostinger dashboard, with Google's AI drafting the ad text and images. The campaigns use Google's Performance Max format, configured for lead generation, which serves ads across Search, YouTube, Display, Discover, Gmail and Maps instead of Search results alone.
Hostinger partnered with Google to pull most of a first campaign's setup into one place. A user connects a Google Ads account, picks the site, adds a conversion page and the locations to target, reviews the generated ads, sets a daily spend and starts the campaign. New Google Ads accounts opened through the integration can earn a matching ad credit after reaching a spend threshold in their first 60 days, and Google sets the eligibility. In the US the credit is $500 after $500 of spend, and the amount and threshold vary by billing country. The credit applies only once billing is complete in Google Ads, and connecting an account starts with a Claim offer button that walks through Google sign-in, permissions and account creation. The billing country, time zone and currency chosen there cannot be changed after the Google Ads account is created.
Google's AI fills in each campaign's copy. A campaign can hold up to 15 short headlines, five long ones, five descriptions, images and a logo, and the user can rewrite any of it. A user who wants full control can skip the draft, though the campaign setup steps then start the ad content fields empty. After launch, Performance Max mixes those pieces into versions for each channel, tests which combinations bring in leads and adjusts bids and audiences. During setup Hostinger adds the Google Ads tracking code and consent mode to the website, so leads are counted while visitors' consent choices are respected. Anyone who would rather handle tracking personally can opt out and paste the code in manually.
Hostinger points to a gap in LocaliQ's 2026 small business marketing report, which surveyed more than 300 owners. Nearly six in 10 expect finding new leads and customers to be a struggle, yet only 45% run search ads. Hostinger puts part of that gap down to how complex search campaigns are to set up. The integration covers sites on Hostinger's web hosting plans, while sites on a Hostinger VPS are excluded.
Every ad goes through Google's review before it runs, which typically takes up to 24 hours, and the AI can take up to four weeks to work out which placements and combinations perform. Once ads run, a summary in the dashboard reports impressions, clicks, leads, average cost per lead and total spend by date range, and a table below lists each campaign's budget, status and results. Google bills ad spend directly, and Hostinger charges no extra fee for the integration.
