Add an administrator in Google Ads

This is real work, not a feature someone invented — it comes from real job ads and real questions people asked. Below are four ready AI prompts: get it done, make it easy for the next person to say yes to, work out the right move when you are stuck, and stop it coming back.

Before I add our new intern, David, to the client's advertising account, make sure he has the right level of access. He needs to be able to view reports and make basic edits to ad copy, but not launch new campaigns or change billing. What's the most appropriate access level for him, and what are the specific permissions that come with it?

Our new media buyer, Alex, just called saying he can't make changes in the client's account, even though I added him as an administrator.
Alex, our new media buyer, just called from the 'Luxury Watches' account saying he can't make any changes, only view things. I distinctly remember adding his email, alex.smith@agency.com, as an 'administrator' to account 444-555-6666 yesterday. He needs full edit access to launch the new holiday campaign by Friday. I'm afraid I might have accidentally given him a lower permission level. What's the quickest way to verify his current access level and elevate it to full administrator if needed, without disrupting his current work?

I frequently get calls from team members unable to perform tasks in Google Ads, despite me thinking I gave them the right access.
I often add team members to client advertising accounts, only for them to report later that they can't do what they need to. This leads to frustrating delays and rework. What habit should I change in how I add users and assign roles to ensure they always have the correct permissions from the start?

Questions people actually ask

honest answers, no sign-up

Every task here was seen in the real world. Someone doing the job named it, a real job ad asked for it, or a lot of people asked about it online.

If nothing real showed a task, it is not on the page. That is the whole rule.

They are the same job approached four ways, because what you need depends on where you are.

Get it done today. Make it easy for the next person to say yes to. Work out the right move when you are stuck. Learn the pattern so the job stops coming back.

For most of these jobs it can carry the heavy thinking - draft it, sort it, check it, rehearse it with you.

It cannot sit in your chair, take the blame when a number is wrong, or notice what nobody wrote down. Let it do the first 80%. Keep the last 20% that is truly yours.

No. Copy any prompt and paste it into the AI you already use. No account, no score, no wall in the way.

Any of them. The prompts describe the work rather than naming a product, so they are not tied to one assistant.

That is also why they keep working when you switch.

Change it freely. Every prompt is a starting line, not a rule.

Put in your real numbers, your real names and your real deadline. The more you make it yours, the better the answer comes back.

The tasks come from real job ads, published job data and the questions people ask in public forums.

The steps come from Google Ads's own documentation, with practitioner sources for the traps the manual does not mention.

Push once. Ask it to sharpen the weakest part and to say what it assumed.

Most wrong answers come from a missing detail rather than a bad prompt - tell it the thing it could not know.
