How to Create an Ad Account
To create an ad account:
1. Log in to Ads Manager. Then click the navigation in the top corner and select Ad Accounts.
2. Click + New Ad Account. Then Input your advertiser details:
-
Select whether or not you’re an agency buying ads on behalf of an advertiser.
-
Select whether or not your ad account will run housing, credit, or employment ads.
-
Please Note: If you select ‘Yes’, your ad may be rejected if it uses targeting parameters that could include age, gender, or postal code level targeting. Minimum age targeting may be applied to up to 21 years of age.

Select whether you will use the ad account for political ads. If you're running a political ad, input the sponsoring political organization or advocacy group who is paying for the ad in the ‘Paying Advertiser’ field.

If you'd like to continually have access to your funding source, choose 'Revolving.' This allows you to replenish your line of credit and it is often chosen to run ads in Ads Manager. If you'd prefer to run a onetime campaign with a spend cap, you can choose 'Insertion Order.'
Please Note: If you create an account with an Insertion order, but want to set a spend cap later, you can leave the spend cap at $0. This way the account will have a spend limit of $0, but you can apply one later.
