Run through this list before launching any new Meta or Google campaign for a dealership, repair shop, or detailing studio. Next to any item you can't check, write the owner and a date, and make the launch call only once the list is done.

Account, access, and billing

  • The ad account sits in the business's own Business Manager; the agency or freelancer connects only through partner access.
  • The account has at least two admins, both with two-factor authentication on.
  • The payment method is in the business's name, with correct billing details and tax ID.
