Managed Google Ads

Run Google Ads without ever opening Google Ads.

AdFlint launches your campaigns under our own managed Google Ads account. No account creation, no billing setup, no verification wait, no risk of suspension landing on your name — you just bring a URL and a budget.

Why creating your own Google Ads account is the worst part of running ads.

For most beginners, the account is harder than the ads.

Account verification can take days

New Google Ads accounts often hit identity verification, business verification, or payment verification before a single ad can serve. For a first-time advertiser, that's a multi-day delay before you even reach the campaign builder.

Billing setup is its own project

You have to add a card, pick a billing country, set up invoice vs auto-charge thresholds, and handle the VAT/GST questions. Get any of it wrong and your ads pause mid-month.

Suspension risk lives on your account

If Google's automated systems flag your landing page, your account — not just the campaign — can be suspended. Appealing a suspension on a brand-new account with no history is a notoriously rough process.

Conversion tracking is a tax on beginners

Google Tag, GA4 linking, enhanced conversions, consent mode — most beginners spend more time wiring tracking than picking keywords. Skip it and you're optimizing blind.

What AdFlint does instead.

The same Google Ads inventory, accessed through our managed account — like running ads through any agency, but with an AI doing the campaign work.

We run ads under our managed MCC

AdFlint operates a Google Ads Manager (MCC) account in good standing. Your campaigns launch as sub-accounts under it — the same structure agencies have used for over a decade.

You pay AdFlint, AdFlint pays Google

Buy ad credits in your AdFlint wallet. We bill Google directly with our card on file. You never enter card details on ads.google.com because you never visit ads.google.com.

Policy risk stays off your name

If a campaign gets disapproved for policy reasons, it's a campaign-level issue inside our account — not a suspension hanging over your future business or your personal Google login.

Full transparency on what runs

Every keyword, headline, description, and bid is visible in your AdFlint dashboard before launch and editable in real time after. You're not flying blind — you just don't have to navigate Google's UI.

No billing thresholds, no surprise charges

Google's auto-billing thresholds escalate as you spend more. With AdFlint your max spend is your credit balance — period. When credits run out, ads stop.

End-date enforcement built in

Every campaign requires an end date. When it hits, the campaign stops in Google automatically and any unspent credits return to your wallet at face value.

Questions

Does running ads through AdFlint affect my own Google account?

No. AdFlint runs campaigns under our managed Google Ads Manager account. Your personal Google login, Gmail, and any existing Google Ads or Google Business profiles are completely untouched. You sign in to AdFlint with email — no Google OAuth required.

Whose credit card actually pays Google?

AdFlint's. We have a billing relationship with Google directly. You buy credits from AdFlint (USD, face value), and we pay Google for your campaign's spend out of our account. There is no markup on ad spend — $100 in credits buys $100 of impressions and clicks at Google's normal CPC.

Is this allowed under Google Ads terms of service?

Yes. Google explicitly supports the manager account (MCC) structure for agencies and platforms managing ads on behalf of clients. It's the same arrangement any traditional digital agency uses. AdFlint operates as a managed advertising service, not a reseller — we don't claim to be Google and we don't obscure who's running the ad on the platform's side.

Can I see Google's native reports?

You see the underlying metrics — impressions, clicks, cost, conversions, search terms, per-keyword performance — in your AdFlint dashboard, pulled directly from the Google Ads API. We don't expose raw access to the Google Ads UI itself because the account is shared infrastructure, but anything you'd look at in Ads Manager is available in your dashboard.

Can I export or move the campaigns to my own account later?

You can export campaign configuration — keywords, ad copy, targeting, performance history — at any time. The campaigns themselves live in our MCC, so they can't be physically transferred to a new Google Ads account, but you can re-create them inside your own account using the exported config and our optimization data as a starting point.

What if Google rejects an ad?

Google reviews ads within our MCC just like any other account. If an ad gets disapproved, we surface the reason in your dashboard, the AI suggests a compliant rewrite, and you can re-submit. The disapproval doesn't impact you personally — it's a campaign-level event inside AdFlint's managed account.

Can I still use Google Ads directly if I want to?

Yes, completely. AdFlint doesn't lock you out of anything. You can create your own Google Ads account in parallel any time — they're independent. Most customers use AdFlint specifically because they don't want to.
