## **🔍 Overview**

OTTO Ads connects to Google Ads through Google's OAuth authorization flow. If you manage more than one Google Ads account — for example, a personal account and a business account like **sales@bambooisbetter.com** — each account must be authorized separately. This article explains how to connect multiple accounts and what to do when an account does not appear in the selection list after authorization.

## **⚙️ Before You Begin**

- Make sure you are logged in to Search Atlas and have access to the Ads section of the platform (Left sidebar → Ads).
- Confirm that the Google account you want to connect has the appropriate access level for the Google Ads account you wish to manage.
- Have the login credentials ready for each Google account you plan to connect.

## **🚀 How to Connect a Google Ads Account**

1. In Search Atlas, navigate to the **OTTO Ads** section.
2. Find the option to connect a Google Ads account and begin the authorization process.
3. A Google OAuth window will open. Select the Google account associated with the Google Ads account you want to link (for example, **sales@bambooisbetter.com**).
4. Review the requested permissions and click **Allow** to complete the authorization.
5. Once redirected back to OTTO Ads, open the account selection list and choose the Google Ads account you just authorized.

## **➕ How to Connect Additional Google Ads Accounts**

You can link more than one Google Ads account to OTTO Ads. Repeat the steps below for each additional account:

1. Return to the Google Ads connection area in OTTO Ads.
2. Start a new OAuth authorization flow.
3. When the Google sign-in window opens, choose to authorize a different Google login rather than the one already connected.
4. Sign in with the second Google account and click **Allow**.
5. Back in OTTO Ads, the newly authorized account should now appear in the selection list alongside any previously connected accounts.

## **🛠️ Troubleshooting: Account Not Appearing in the Selection List**

If a Google Ads account is missing from the selection list after you complete the authorization, work through the checks below in order:

- **Wrong Google account selected during OAuth:** The Google sign-in window may have defaulted to a different account. Disconnect and reconnect, making sure to choose the exact Google login that owns or has access to the missing Google Ads account.
- **Insufficient account permissions:** Confirm that the Google account you authorized has sufficient access in Google Ads. Accounts with limited or read-only access may not appear in the selection list.
- **Still not appearing:** If you have verified the correct Google account was selected and permissions appear correct but the account still does not show up, reach out to our support team for further assistance.
