Getting Started
Google Ads requires a Google account with access to Google Ads. You can check which profiles you have access to by visiting Google Ads.
Once you have an account with Google Adwords access, simply click the "Request Google Adwords Access" button.
This will lead to a page to select your Google account
The next step is to select a Google AdWords Client/Customer ID. You can select as many clients as you want but keep in mind this will increase the amount of data that it will intake and in turn increase the run time
