Google Ads Connect Failed or Account Missing

Connecting Google Ads to Zinn® Ads failed, or an account is not in the list? The usual causes, what each message means and how to fix each one.

Zinn®, our Viking, reading his checklist beside a measurement rising over time.

Short answer

Usually the sign-in was cancelled, access to Google Ads was not allowed, or the Google user you signed in with cannot reach that account. A manager account is never added itself: tick the accounts under it instead.

Why it happens

Zinn® Ads sees only the accounts your Google sign-in can open, and only once you allow access to Google Ads on Google's own page.

What Zinn® Ads does about it

Zinn® Ads says on the Ads page which of these happened, such as Connecting was cancelled at Google or This Google sign-in reaches no Google Ads accounts, and nothing is added until the sign-in completes.

What to do

  1. Press Connect Google Ads again and allow access to your Google Ads accounts.
  2. Sign in with the Google user that can open the account in Google Ads.
  3. For an account under a manager account, tick it under the manager; the manager account itself is not added.
  4. Check that you have a plan (Free is enough) and the owner or developer role in your organisation.
  5. An account marked Already added is connected: find it under Connected accounts.
