# How to Create a Sub-Account in Google Ads

Before creating a sub-account, one important point: AdsX **does not navigate an MCC's hierarchy**. It only recognizes accounts linked directly to your Google login — the ones that show up in your own account switcher. Follow the recommended way below to make sure the new account works with AdsX.

## The recommended way

1. In Google Ads, using the account you connected to AdsX, click your avatar (round icon, top right corner).
2. In the menu that opens, click **"Create a new Google Ads account"**.

3. Follow Google's wizard to set up the new account.

Done — this account is born linked directly to your Gmail, exactly what AdsX needs to recognize it.

## After creating it: sync it in AdsX

1. In AdsX, go to **Google Accounts** in the side menu.
2. Click the refresh icon (↻) next to your connected account.

3. Wait a few seconds — the new sub-account appears in the list automatically.

If it doesn't work, remove the connection and connect again:
