Mit Verwaltungskonten verknüpfen

Verwaltungskonten sind Google Ads-Konten, die für Verwaltungszwecke und nicht für die Auslieferung von Anzeigen verwendet werden. Sie dienen als zentrale Zugangspunkt für die von ihnen verwalteten Konten und werden beim Einrichten der konsolidierten Abrechnung und anderer Funktionen für mehrere Konten verwendet.

Wichtiger Begriff: In diesem Leitfaden bezieht sich der Begriff „Kundenkonto“ auf das Konto, das von einem Verwaltungskonto verwaltet wird. Das kann ein anderes Verwaltungskonto oder ein reguläres Google Ads-Konto für die Anzeigenbereitstellung sein.

Dienste

Die beiden Dienste zum Erstellen einer Verknüpfung zwischen zwei Konten in der Google Ads API sind der CustomerClientLinkService und der CustomerManagerLinkService. In den Namen dieser Dienste bezieht sich das Wort „Kunde“ auf das aktuelle Konto im Kontext der Anfrage.

• Wenn Sie als Verwaltungskonto die verwalteten Clients überprüfen, verwenden Sie den CustomerClientLinkService.

• Wenn Sie ein Kundenkonto haben und an einer Verknüpfung mit einem übergeordneten Verwaltungskonto in der Hierarchie interessiert sind, wählen Sie CustomerManagerLinkService aus.

Diese beiden Dienste sind im Wesentlichen zwei verschiedene Ansichten derselben Verbindung. Wenn das Kundenkonto C über das Verwaltungskonto M verwaltet wird, ist die CustomerClientLink, wenn sie über das Konto M aufgerufen wird, dieselbe Entität wie die CustomerManagerLink, die über das Konto C aufgerufen wird.

Vorgehensweise

Die Verknüpfung von zwei Konten muss immer über das Verwaltungskonto eingeleitet werden und anschließend muss die Verknüpfung über das Kundenkonto akzeptiert werden. Der Status des Links wird im Feld status von CustomerClientLink oder CustomerManagerLink gespeichert. Liste der gültigen Status Verwenden Sie PENDING, um die Verknüpfung zu initiieren, und ACTIVE, um die Verknüpfung zu akzeptieren.

Zwei bestehende Google Ads-Konten lassen sich in drei Schritten verknüpfen.

1. Wenn Sie sich als Verwaltungskonto authentifizieren, können Sie dem Kundenkonto eine Einladung senden. Erstellen Sie dazu ein CustomerClientLink-Objekt mit dem Status PENDING.
2. Fragen Sie bei der Authentifizierung als Verwaltungskonto den GoogleAdsService ab, um den manager_link_id der von Ihnen erstellten CustomerClientLink zu finden.
3. Nehmen Sie bei der Authentifizierung als Kundenkonto die Einladung des Verwaltungskontos an, indem Sie CustomerManagerLink ändern, sodass der Status ACTIVE lautet.

Beispiel

Im folgenden Codebeispiel wird gezeigt, wie Sie ein Verwaltungskonto mit seinem Kunden verknüpfen:
