Why we ask for access
Your cabinet shows what your advertising did: what was spent, how many people clicked, and what came of it. To read those numbers we need to see your Google Ads account, and the way to let us is to add our Google account to it with the Read only access level.
Read only is a level Google itself enforces. With it we can look at your campaigns and reports and nothing else: we cannot create, change, pause or delete anything, we cannot touch your billing, and we cannot add or remove people. It takes about two minutes to set up, and you can take it away in the same place at any time.
What you will need
- Your Google Ads account, and Admin access to it. If you are not sure, the person who set up your advertising has it.
- About two minutes.
Step 1 - Open Access and security
- Sign in at ads.google.com with the account that has Admin access.
- Open the Admin menu.
- Open Access and security.
Step 2 - Invite our accounts with the Read only level
- Press the plus button to add a user.
- Enter the first address: info@in-store.ca
- Choose the access level Read only. This is the important part, and it is what stops us from being able to change anything.
- Press Send invitation.
- Press the plus button again and repeat the same three steps for the second address: andrew.liashok@gmail.com
Two addresses, because Google gives this access to a person and not to a company: one is the address your reports are read through, the other is the one our team works from. Both are Read only, and you can remove either of them whenever you like. Read only is one of five levels Google offers, beside Admin, Standard, Billing and Email only, so take a moment to pick the right one. If a different level was sent by mistake, you can change it on the same screen.
Step 3 - That is your part done
Google sends the invitations to us and we accept them. Once we have, your advertising numbers appear on the Performance page of your cabinet, and the Google Ads line in your Settings turns green. Nothing else is needed from you, and we will write to you if anything about the invitations does not work.
Removing our access at any time
You stay in control of the account, and it is the same screen you invited us from. Open the Admin menu, then Access and security, find our addresses in the list, and choose Remove access in the Actions column for each one you want gone. Your reports in the cabinet stop updating from that moment, and nothing else about your account changes.
