How to Set Up Google Ads with Your Team for Targeted Ads
Thinking about running ads for your business? Google Ads is one of the most effective ways to reach new clients and build visibility online. The best way to get started is by creating your own Google Ads account. That way, you keep full ownership, billing goes directly to your business, and your marketing team can manage everything for you once the account is linked to their manager profile.
