Google Ads works for brands whose accounts sit under a manager account, and Google Ads launches finish completely

This release makes Google Ads work for brands whose ad accounts sit under a manager account. It also makes Google Ads launches finish completely.

Google Ads Works Under a Manager Account

Many brands keep each location's Google Ads account as a client under one brand manager account.

What's new:

Google Ads analytics sync for a workspace whose ad account is a client of a brand manager account.
Campaign, ad group, and ad numbers arrive for these accounts.
Campaign names, budgets, and status stay current in Flamel.
Budget and status changes you make from the ads dashboard reach Google.
Accounts that connect directly work exactly as before.

Where to find it: Google Ads > Analytics.

A Google Ads launch sends several ad groups to Google at once.

What's new:

Every ad in the campaign lands, even when several ad groups go out together.
A launch that only partly completes reads as partly deployed, so you can retry it.
A launch that fails for a reason that cannot correct itself, such as a bad landing page address, tells you on the first attempt.
A workspace that connected its own Google Ads account can launch a playbook.

Where to find it: Google Ads > Playbooks.

Opt-In start dates begin on the day you pick, in the ad account timezone.
Workspace Variables custom fields accept an image, and the preview keeps the original shape.
Google Reviews analytics gained group comparison cards, so you can compare Workspace Groups side by side.
Instagram analytics stay current on busy accounts.
Copying a lead form to many workspaces succeeds even when a workspace already has that form.
Paid analytics, ad dashboards, playbook management, and alt text generation load faster.
A page that fails to load right after a new release recovers on its own.

This release was about Google Ads: getting your numbers to load, and getting your launches to finish.
