Adding an ad account to Business Manager is a crucial step for businesses looking to manage their advertising efforts more effectively. Business Manager allows you to consolidate all your ad accounts, pages, and other assets in one place, making it easier to manage permissions and track performance. This guide will walk you through the process of adding an ad account to Business Manager.
How to add an ad account to Business Manager? To add an ad account to Business Manager, you’ll need to have the necessary permissions and follow a few straightforward steps. First, ensure that you are an admin in your Business Manager account. Then, navigate to the Business Settings section, where you can add the ad account by entering its ID or requesting access from the current owner.
Once you are logged into your Business Manager account, click on the “Business Settings” option located in the top right corner. In the Business Settings menu, you will find the “Accounts” section on the left-hand side. Click on “Ad Accounts” under this section. Here, you will see an option to “Add” an ad account. Click on it, and you will be presented with three options: “Add an Ad Account,” “Request Access to an Ad Account,” and “Create a New Ad Account.”
Adding an Existing Ad Account
If you already have an ad account that you want to add to Business Manager, select the “Add an Ad Account” option. You will need to enter the Ad Account ID, which can be found in your Ads Manager. Once you enter the ID, click “Add Ad Account.” If you are the admin of that ad account, it will be added to your Business Manager immediately. If not, you will need to request permission from the current admin.
Requesting Access to an Ad Account
If the ad account you wish to add is owned by someone else, you will need to request access. Select the “Request Access to an Ad Account” option and enter the Ad Account ID. You will also need to specify the level of access you require, such as “Ad Account Advertiser” or “Ad Account Admin.” Once you submit the request, the current admin of the ad account will need to approve it before you can manage the account within your Business Manager.
Creating a new ad account is another option if you do not have an existing one. Select “Create a New Ad Account,” and follow the prompts to set up your new ad account. You will need to provide information such as the account name, time zone, and currency. Once the new ad account is created, it will be automatically added to your Business Manager.
After successfully adding or requesting access to an ad account, you can manage permissions by assigning roles to different team members. Navigate to the “People” section in Business Settings, where you can add users and assign them roles such as “Ad Account Advertiser” or “Ad Account Analyst.” This ensures that each team member has the appropriate level of access to the ad account.
In summary, adding an ad account to Business Manager involves navigating to the Business Settings, selecting the appropriate option to add or request access to an ad account, and managing permissions for team members. This centralized approach simplifies the management of multiple ad accounts and enhances collaboration within your team.
