Six setup mistakes that quietly waste ad spend
None of these throw an error. They just make every campaign a little worse until someone checks.
Accounts owned by the wrong party
A freelancer or agency created the account under their own business. When they leave, your history and audiences leave too.
Pixels and tags installed twice
A theme setting, an app and a manual snippet can all fire the same tag, so purchases count two or three times.
Wrong or missing conversion events
Purchase fires without a value, or add to cart counts as a sale, so bidding optimizes toward the wrong thing.
Domain not verified
Until a domain is verified, platforms can limit which events and features you can use.
Catalog not linked to the account
If Merchant Center or the Meta catalog is not connected to the ad account, product ads simply cannot run.
Billing and access sprawl
Too many admins, former staff still listed, one card with no backup. Then a payment fails and ads stop.

You should own your ad accounts. Always
Some agencies run your ads from accounts inside their own business. It looks convenient until you want to leave.
We set accounts up under your business, with you as the admin and billing owner.
- 1
Your history is an asset
Audiences, learnings, pixel data and campaign history build value over time. It should stay with you.
- 2
Access should be removable
You can add and remove people whenever you like, with no one else holding the keys.
- 3
Billing stays yours
Payment methods belong to your business, so you control spend and never pay hidden markup.
- 4
Setup should be documented
A written record means anyone you hire later can understand and fix the setup.

Inherited a messy ad account?
Auditing and fixing an existing setup is as common as building a new one. Tell us what you have and we will tell you what needs attention.
Talk to usFrequently asked questions
We already have accounts. Can you clean them up?
Yes. Auditing and repairing an existing setup is just as common as building from scratch. We start by listing what is configured, what is duplicated and what is missing.
Do you set up platforms besides Google and Meta?
Yes. TikTok, Pinterest and other ad platforms follow a similar process of accounts, pixels, catalogs and event checks, and are covered too.
Is this a one-time project?
Usually. Account configuration is mostly a one-time job, though platforms change requirements and we are available when they do.
Will you have access to our ad spend or billing?
Only what is needed to configure billing correctly. You keep ownership and control of the accounts and payment methods.
What is the difference between this and tracking and feeds?
This sets up the ad platforms themselves: accounts, access, pixels and events. Tracking and feeds covers the deeper data layer, server-side tracking and product feeds that all channels depend on.
