Questions about managing multiple client accounts.

We have multiple clients all of which know nothing about the internet so we manage thier accounts from start to finish. Currently we just have 1 core account running multiple campaigns, each campaign being a client. Accounting is getting messy and we want to figure out a way to seperate everyone onto their own accounts.

heres is the question. lets say we wanted to make 5 clients their own accounts, can we register the 5 accounts all using the same credit card and furthermore can we make each campaigns email address @domain.com for example , ? Would google think we were trying to pull some sort of trick on them even though everything is legit? What is the best way to manage these multiple clients? if anyone has a good informationsl web page that could help we would appreciate seeing that too. Thanks in advance

 

I guess you're talking AdWords right?

We have all sites their own account, indeed with , etc. Then bind them all with the Google Pro scheme so you make another log in like and use that to manage them all.

 

Yep, use the AdWords My Client Center.

It's great if you're managing more than 1 account.

 

are you using the same credit card for each? In additiona can you preload the account with lets say $1000 and let the clicks deduct that amount rather then the typical way of post click billing? Thanks again guys you are all so helpful.

 

What if they're also using close to the same keywords on some campaigns? Not every client will have only THERE keywords and such...

 

not quite sure i understand what your getting at.

 

Say client A, B and C are legitamit clients. And all three are in the Mortgage arena. So is Google going to think you're trying to double dip by haveing ad campaigns with the same mortgage keywords as the other?

 

I now do understand your question and its a good one. We are in the same predicament as all of our clients are in the same geographical area and of the same business. The URL's are all different so I hope google realizes that we are just advertising for multiple clients in the same industry and not trying to take advantage of multiple ad spots.

 

The thing I worry about is Whois info. Bigger clients host their own sites, but sometimes I offer the whole package.

Site, Hosting, Advertising. So I would think Google would be suspect if I have not only the same Ads, but sites hosted on the same server. (Some clients are so afriad of technology, that I even register the domain under my information).

All of that couldn't add up for Google. Yet; it does for me....

 

Doubt you need to worry about it. Agencies and other large account managers deal with this all the time I'm sure.
