Manage episode 495930024 series 3676265
Opening a Google Ads agency account is the first step toward managing multiple advertising clients effectively. By creating a Google Ads Manager Account (also known as MCC – My Client Center), agencies gain centralized control over campaigns, better reporting tools, and access to exclusive features designed for professionals.
Key Benefits:
Centralized Management: Control multiple ad accounts from one dashboard.
Advanced Tools: Access beta features, shared budgets, and cross-account conversions.
Streamlined Collaboration: Assign user roles, set permissions, and monitor team activities.
Consolidated Reporting: Run high-level reports across clients for easy performance tracking.
Setup Steps:
Sign up for a Manager Account at ads.google.com.
Fill in your business info, including agency name, website, and contact details.
Link client accounts or create new ones under your MCC dashboard.
Pricing Overview:
Most Google Ads agencies charge:
A setup fee ($300–$2000)
A monthly management fee (10–20% of ad spend or a flat $500–$5000)
Some use performance models like CPA (cost per acquisition)
Evaluating Agency Performance:
To judge performance:
Choose between revenue-focused (ROAS, sales volume) or profit-focused (gross profit after ad spend).
Use clear KPIs and measure incremental growth regularly.
Keep reporting consistent and agree on attribution tools with your agency.
Becoming a Google Partner:
To earn the Google Partner badge, agencies must:
Maintain consistent ad spend
Pass Google Ads certification exams
Demonstrate solid client performance
This certification gives agencies access to premium support, training, and increased credibility.
If you're a digital marketer looking to scale operations, a Google Ads Manager Account is the professional tool you need to grow faster and manage smarter.
