# Google Ads Manager Accounts (MCC)

## A Google Account Manager, also known as a Google Ads Manager Account (MCC), allows you to manage multiple Google Ads accounts under a single login. This is ideal for agencies, marketing teams, or businesses handling multiple clients or brands.

### **Step 1: Sign in or Create a Google Account**

- Go to https://accounts.google.com.
- Use an existing Google Account or create a new one dedicated to managing your clients.

---

### **Step 2: Access Google Ads Manager Accounts**

- Visit the Google Ads Manager Accounts sign-up page: https://ads.google.com/home/tools/manager-accounts/
- Click **Create a manager account**.

---

### **Step 3: Set Up Your Manager Account**

1. Select **Manager account** as the account type.
2. Provide the following details:
   
     - **Account Name**: Choose a name that reflects your agency or team.
     - **Primary Use**: Select “To manage other people’s accounts” if you’re managing clients.
     - **Country & Time Zone**: Choose the correct time zone — this cannot be changed later.
     - **Currency**: Select the currency you want to use for billing and reporting.

---

### **Step 4: Confirm and Create**

- Review your information and click **Submit** to create your MCC.
- You’ll be redirected to the Manager Account dashboard.

---

### **Step 5: Link Existing Google Ads Accounts (Optional)**

- In your new MCC dashboard, click **Accounts → Link existing accounts**.
- Enter the **Customer ID** of the Google Ads account you want to manage.
- The account owner must approve your request.

---

### **Step 6: Connect Your MCC to Plai (Recommended)**

Once your MCC is set up, you can connect it to **Plai** to simplify account management:

- Plai allows you to securely connect your MCC and easily manage multiple Google Ads accounts without sharing individual logins.
- It streamlines permissions, improves collaboration with your team, and makes monitoring ad performance more efficient.
- To connect:
  
    1. Log in to Plai.
    2. Navigate to **Integrations → Google Ads (MCC)**.
    3. Authorize the connection using your Google account.
