How can I make sure my previous advertisement company won’t have access to my new Google Ads account?
Short Answer: When setting up a new Google Ads account, previous advertising companies cannot automatically access or log in to it. To be certain about who has access, you should review and manage permissions through the ‘start here’ section in Local Service Mastery. This area provides guidance on how to control and revoke access to your Google business profile, Google My Business (GMB), Meta ads, and other online assets.
Full Explanation
When you create a new Google Ads account, the security setup ensures that previous advertising agencies or companies are not automatically granted permission to access your account. Access is controlled on a per-account basis, meaning prior companies cannot log in unless you explicitly give them permission.
However, if you are unsure about who currently has access to your various online assets—including your Google Ads account—there is a reliable way to check and update permissions. Using the ‘start here’ section in Local Service Mastery, you can find dedicated resources and instructions to guide you through managing who has access to not only your Google Ads but also your Google Business Profile, Google My Business (GMB), Meta Ads, and other related platforms.
Step-by-Step Breakdown
- Access the ‘start here’ section in Local Service Mastery.
- Locate the section dedicated to controlling access over your online assets.
- Follow the provided guidance to review current users and permissions on your Google business profile and Google Ads account.
- Revoke access from previous agencies or any users you no longer want to have access.
- Apply similar processes for other platforms connected to your advertising efforts, such as GMB and Meta ads.
Real Examples
For instance, if you recently switched advertising companies, you might be concerned about whether the previous company can see your campaigns. Since previous companies do not have automatic access, you can go to your Google Ads settings, verify user permissions, and remove any old users. Similarly, in the Local Service Mastery ‘start here’ area, you would find step-by-step instructions to manage these settings across all your online accounts.
Common Mistakes
- Assuming that creating a new account alone revokes old access without checking users.
- Not verifying access permissions on other related platforms such as Google Business Profile or Meta ads.
- Failing to use reliable guidance tools, such as the Local Service Mastery resources, when managing access.
