Set up a Google Ads account from scratch
— handled for you.
Google's onboarding wizard is built to ship dollars at the auction as fast as possible — not to set you up for the next 12 months. Here's the new-account setup a specialist would actually run. You don't have to figure this out yourself. Hand it to an EverestX Google Ads specialist and get it done right the first time.
Why set up a google ads account from scratch trips people up
Conversion tracking has three valid setup paths (gtag, GTM, GA4 import) and Google never tells you which is right for your stack.
Performance Max hides 80% of the levers; what you can control matters more than what you can see.
Quality Score, bid strategies, and attribution interact in ways the UI never explains.
These aren't beginner mistakes — they trip up experienced marketers too. The platform doesn't make them obvious. Our specialists have done this dozens of times and know exactly where each setup goes wrong.
What we do for you
Every step below is completed in your Google Ads account by your assigned specialist. Nothing is skipped.
Create the account in Expert Mode (NOT Smart Mode)

Install the Google tag and verify it fires
Set account security and access controls

Before/after screenshots showing exactly what was configured, so you can verify without logging in.
Loom walkthrough
A 3–5 minute screen recording walking through your Google Ads setup so you understand what was done.

A plain-English summary of everything configured, what to watch for, and what to do next.
One revision included

This task is right for you if
Monthly ad spend is over $2K and ROAS is unclear
Conversions are firing but Google reports zero
Performance Max is on but you have no idea what it is doing
CPCs are climbing and nothing in the account explains why
Common questions
What access do you need to set up a google ads account from scratch?
We request collaborator or manager access to your Google Ads account — no passwords, no full ownership transfer. For platforms like Google Ads, Meta, and HubSpot, this is a standard invite flow. We'll send step-by-step instructions immediately after you submit your request.
How long does it take?
This task is delivered in 2–3 business days. The clock starts once you've granted access. Rush delivery (1–2 business days) is available on request.
What if I'm not happy with the result?
One revision is included with every task. If the delivery doesn't match the defined scope, we fix it at no extra cost. If the work wasn't done at all, you get a full refund — no questions.
Who actually does the work?
A vetted EverestX specialist with demonstrated Google Ads expertise. EverestX assigns the task, reviews the delivery for quality before it reaches you, and owns the outcome. You never deal with a freelancer directly.
Can I hire the same specialist ongoing after this task?
Yes — and most clients do. Once you've seen the quality of work, you can move to an ongoing hourly arrangement with the same specialist. We'll make the introduction and handle the transition.
