How to Find Your Vector Audiences in Google Ads Audience Manager

Last updated: October 20, 2025

Once you connect Google Ads to Vector and enable audience exports, Vector will automatically sync contact-level audiences directly into your Google Ads Audience Manager for activation across search, display, YouTube, and more.

This guide walks you through how to locate and verify those audiences inside your Google Ads account.

✅ Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure:

  • ✅ Your Google Ads account is connected in Vector → Integrations

  • ✅ Audiences are enabled for export in Segments → On → Google Ads as an action

  • ✅ You have the right access in Google Ads (edit access required to view audience lists)

  • ⚠ Audience building may take up to 72 hours to appear the first time Google receives it

🛠 Step-by-Step: Find Vector Audiences in Google Ads

  1. Log into your Google Ads account
    https://ads.google.com

  2. In the left-hand menu, click Tools & Settings (wrench icon)

  3. Under the Shared Library column, click Audience Manager

  4. Open the Segments tab (sometimes labeled "Your Data Segments" or "Audience Lists")
