Who Owns My Google Ads Account?
Many owners assume they own their Google Ads account. Often they don’t — the agency created it inside their own login, so if you part ways you can lose your campaigns, conversion history and learnings overnight.
How to check ownership
- Can you log in directly at ads.google.com with your own email and see the account?
- Are you listed as an admin, or just a viewer?
- Whose email is the account’s primary owner?
