Account security: the part nobody thinks about until it matters

The most common security problem in ad accounts is an old agency still having access.

Audit access quarterly

Google Ads, Merchant Center, Analytics, Shopify. Former agencies, former staff, freelancers from two years ago — they are usually all still there.

Never share logins

Individual access, revoked individually. A shared password cannot be revoked without disrupting everyone.

Billing is the real exposure

Anyone with billing access can change where invoices go. That should be a very short list.

When an agency leaves

Revoke manager access after handover is complete, not before — and confirm it actually happened rather than assuming.
