Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Sign in to Google Ads

Start by visiting the Google Ads website and sign in using your Google account credentials.

Step 2: Access Account Settings

Once logged in, click on the “Tools & Settings” icon at the top right corner. This will open a dropdown menu where you should select “Account access” under the “Setup” column.

Step 3: Navigate to Account Access

In the “Account access” section, you will see a list of users who currently have access to your account. To add a new user, click on the blue “+” button or the “Plus” icon, often labeled “Add user.”

Step 4: Add Users

A new window will pop up, asking for the email address of the person or agency you wish to add.

Step 5: Enter User Information

Fill in the email address of the new user. Make sure it’s the email associated with their Google account.

Read-only access: Can view campaigns and run reports but cannot make changes.

Choose the one that best suits the role of the person or agency you’re adding.

Step 7: Send Invitation

After selecting the access level, click on the “Send Invitation” button. The new user will receive an email with instructions to accept the invitation and access your Google Ads account.

Once the invitation is accepted, you should verify that the new user has the correct level of access and is able to perform their intended tasks. It’s a good practice to regularly review account access and adjust permissions as needed.
