TL;DR
Meta Ads does not have a native Looker Studio connector. Three options: Supermetrics (paid connector, most popular, pulls all Meta Ads data directly into Looker Studio), Funnel.io (paid, connects 500+ marketing platforms), or manual export (download CSV from Ads Manager, upload to Google Sheets, connect Sheets to Looker Studio). Supermetrics is recommended for agencies and businesses that need automated, real-time dashboards. For small operations, the Google Sheets method works but requires weekly manual data refreshes.
