Perplexity shines when your question needs the web and your data at the same time. With PaidHelm connected, "what are competitors advertising for 'standing desk' and how does our ad copy compare?" becomes one question.

Setup

Open Perplexity (Mac/Windows app or Comet) → Settings → Connectors.

Add a custom connector / MCP server with URL https://mcp.paidhelm.com/googleads/mcp.

Complete Google's consent screen when prompted.

Where the client supports a configuration file, use the same Streamable HTTP URL; SSE fallback: https://mcp.paidhelm.com/googleads/sse.

Prompts that use both worlds

Research the current promotions of our three main competitors for "meal kit delivery" and compare with the headlines in our Brand and Non-brand campaigns. Suggest copy changes.

What seasonal search trends matter for "tax software" in the next 60 days? Then check our keyword coverage for those terms.

Notes

Perplexity's connector support evolves quickly; if a step looks different, the server URL is all you need.

Write tools work the same as in other clients; confirm before applying changes.
