Overview
When you open the Smart Ads tool, you need to select a business before you can create or manage ads. If no business appears in the selection screen, it usually means your account only contains one business or no business has been connected yet. This article explains what to expect and how to navigate to your business correctly.
What to Expect on the Business Selection Screen
The business selection screen lists all businesses connected to your account. If no business appears, it is likely because no business has been added to your account yet, or your single connected business needs to be accessed through the Local section rather than selected from a list.
How to Access Your Business
- Log in to your Search Atlas account.
- In the left sidebar, click Local.
- If you have a business already set up, it will appear here. Click into it to view and manage your profile.
- If no business appears here either, you will need to add one before it becomes available in Smart Ads. See the section below for guidance.
Adding a Business to Your Account
If your account has no business connected yet, the Smart Ads selection screen will remain empty until you add one. To add a business:
- In the left sidebar, click Local.
- Look for the option to add or create a new business profile within the Local section.
- Follow the on-screen prompts to connect or create your business.
- Once your business is saved, return to Smart Ads — it will now appear for selection.
