Feeling like your Google Ads Login list is becoming a bit cluttered? Maybe you've completed a project or are simply performing some digital spring cleaning. For whatever reason, you may need to remove a Google Ads account from your login list. In this guide, we'll walk you through the easy process of removing a Google Ads account from your login list, so you can keep things organized!
How to Remove a Google Ads Account from Your Login List:
Login to your Google Ads account
Navigate to "Admin" (left-hand-side menu)
Navigate to "Access & Security" and remove your email
📝 Important Note: In case you get a message that you cannot remove your email address, it is because the email you're removing is the only email that has Admin rights on the account. Every Google Ads Account MUST have at least one Admin. If you are the sole Admin and you still want to remove your email address, you can do the following:
Option 1: Invite your client's email (as an Admin)
Option 2: Invite a decoy email (as an Admin)
Once there is a least one email with Admin rights, you can go ahead and remove your email from the account.
Frequently Asked Questions on Removing a Google Ads Account from Your Login List
Will removing a Google Ads account from my Login List delete it permanently?
No, removing an account from your login list only removes your access to the Google Ads account. The account itself remains active for other users who have access.
Does removing a Google Ads account from my Login List affect any campaigns or ads running in that account?
No, removing a Google Ads account from your login list does not affect any campaigns or ads running in that account. When you remove an account from your login list, you're simply revoking your own access to view and manage the account. The account itself, along with all its campaigns, ad groups, ads, and settings, remains completely intact and continues to function as normal.
Will removing a Google Ads account from my Login List affect my billing or payments?
Removing a Google Ads account from your login list does not affect your billing or payments. Note that any ongoing payments or billing cycles associated with the account will continue as scheduled. This means that the payment method linked to the account remains active and may continue to be charged if there are outstanding balances or ongoing campaigns. If you were responsible for payments, this responsibility doesn't automatically transfer when you remove your access. However, when you remove the Google Ads account from your login list, you'll lose access to view billing details or make changes to payment settings for that account. So ensure that you settle any outstanding balances and address any billing settings before removing your access.
Can I regain access to a Google Ads account I've removed from my Login List?
Yes, to regain access, you'll need to contact someone who currently has administrative access to the account and request that they add you back.
