UPDATE: I Do NOT recommend doing the central ad account/collecting client ad spend up front method anymore Having multiple pages running ads from one ad account is against TOS and Facebook can & will ban your ad account if you do this.
Dear Keaton I really appreciate your efforts to show us this, since you go in such lengths would it be reasonable to consider creating an updated method where you don't use a central account to handle all the other onces as well as add the process of someone going in their ad manager and making you the admin. Thanks for your help.
first time ever I am commenting on a YT video.. but you really helped me out, THANK YOU! I also used to create a new BM for each client. My clients are mainly small business owners in the building industry... so really greatful for your "FB admin only" approach. MERCI
Thanks. I definitely went the route of trying to get clients to get a FB Business Manager and then connect me to all their assets. Total pain in the ass. Half my clients can't even put a logo in a Google shared folder. I appreciate you sharing your first hand experience. I am pretty sure you can create a FB pixel for the client as well doing it this way. Eventually though you will need to confirm their URL (for the new FB iOS stuff), so access to their website will be needed at somepoint. But nice to get so much done just by being an Admin. Thanks! Subscribed.
I would have personally found this much easier to understand and easier to follow if you showed the entire process including how to gain admin access first before just adding their page, which I would have thought being given admin access would include the page anyway.
Valuable video brother part of the onboarding process but bro make video on whole onboarding process, how you send them contract(script) what question you ask..... And more
Since you don't recommend this anymore and because you were kinda all over the place in this video, can you please make another updated video focusing only on how you recommend it now?
and if some client have created a new account or buissness suite so if he gives me access then i will run ads, so the main question is that will facebook run ads by my algorithem as my account is older or will facebook run ads by my clients new account's algorithm. I hope you understand what i am saying.
If they add me as an Admin to their page, will that also allow me to later access everything I need like their ad account, pixel, Instagram or to set these up for them if they don't already have them set up?
and if your client has "sensitive products" to advertise your a account may be at risk of being closed, so it's not a very clever idea to use your ad account to run client's ads since products can be sometimes very sensitive with FB policies
If I give my media buyer employee access, how can I allow him to only have access to those clients he's working with if there all going to be under one ad account? Also if I have all my clients under one ad account would that pose a threat to all my clients if that one ad account got shut down?
4:57 Is it a good practice to run different clients' ads in a single ad account? It will be messed up. What if something happened to that account, all clients ad will be at risk I Prefer running as from client's business manager
Hey I am from Iran and Facebook is Banned here and I am planning to run agency and hire media buyer to do it for me and if my client put their bank information in his ad account and if my contractor wasn't working for me anymore can my client ever remove his bank details even if he doesn't have access to ad account anymore without contacting media buyer and preventing him using his bank details I am asking this because of my clients privacy and security
good video. i just lost a prospect because it was "too confusing" for them to add me to their business manager, and make a business manager. oof. i guess it wasnt meant to be. now i know how to do it moving forward. how do you collect payment if you do the method with ad spend up front, dont you take a hit on stripe fees?
I'm confused, so you want to use your own add account for each client? Don't have a limit on how many ad accounts your business manager can have? Won't I hit a limit or something
@@ItsKeaton wouldn’t using just one ad account for multiple clients make it hard becuase they all share the same pixel. And how could you do payment methods with so many people on one account? Sorry for all the questions I’m going to start my agency soon and just want to double check on everything lol
This video makes no sense. So if we want our client to pay for their own ads are we connecting our BM to their as account under their BM? Or are we creating an ad account specifically for them under our BM
Hey Keaton great video! Just a quick question, If we were to use one central ad account how would we go about managing pixels and their data? If I'm not mistaken there only one pixel per ad account right? Thank you!
hi Keaton sorry, if I use my ad account to run ads, which doesn't match their page name, that's not a problem right? Else, I would like to find an easy way to get add as an admin, do you recommend any resources? Thanks for your help!
A lot of people recommend to always use their add account because if for example you are running ads for many clients and something happens and you get banned for some reason, wouldn’t that jeopardize my other clients ads? You CZcamsrs man make our life so much easier but sometimes confuse us
I've heard from several sources that you should NOT use your own ad account for client facebook ads especially for multiple different clients from the same account as it increases the chances of getting banned , am I miss understanding what you're saying?
hey Keaton is your Training "How I Started a 6 Figure Marketing Agency From My College Dorm" show how you generated leads, the campaigns you created, sales pitch, & how to price? ty!
What do you recommend instead? If the one explained in the video will get you banned? So one ad account per Client with his own credit card as payment method? But still everything under my Business manager? Because everything in one ad account seems like a crazy risk with Facebook random banning accounts. This would pause the entire agency if facebook goes crazy again
But how can they trust me to put their card information into facebook? I'm turning 17, I don't th8nk they would trust giving their card info to a 17 years old :). Can you tell me how can I do it, and if there is a way where they could put their credit card informations themselves?
But what happens if your personal profile gets blocked and you dont have access to all of your accounts? It dosen't happen often but its still possible... I am a bit confused
@@ItsKeaton Got it. But do you ask them for credit card details (for payment method) and store it somewhere? Feels way to much to ask for and too private to share.. Or is there an other way for them to share without me knowing all the detalils Thank you so much for answering btw, appreciate it very much
Such a great Video, Really loved it man ❤️..... Quick question, I like your model but I'm from 3rd world country, and it's not a good idea to use our ad account for someone who's from Australia, so instead of using their current ad account, I asked them to delete that one or make a new one and we use that, is that a good idea?
Hi! I have some questions if you can help me with😊. I was thinking about collecting the ad spend in the agency price if that makes sense, for example I will say that the ad spend is included in the price, and I will pay it with my debit card. The question is how do I know how much should I charge for the ad spend for my client? Thanks again for the value you are offering in these videos for free!
I don’t recommend doing this! Lots of problems that can occur. If you do, make sure to bill weekly not monthly. As far as amount of ad spend, totally depends on the client and location. Somewhere between $500-$2000 for local biz typically
@@ItsKeaton Oh ok, tell me if I'm wrong, you recommend to collect the ad spend separately for my client, for example I will do free trials at the beginning, and I will charge the ad spend separately by connecting their card to the facebook ad account created by me. The thing is there gonna be a problem if they are paying the ads and for example they are not performing. How I can give their money back if I don't have any :)? Of course I will tell them in the onboarding call that I'm a beginner in this industry, and make them not expect very much from me, but that's my concern.
Great video Keaton! Living in a not-so-tech-savvy 3rd world country where people are skeptical about giving you their card info and the whole social media marketing service as a whole, how would you go about making ads for them? Just starting off with a couple of close family friends and I really don't wanna seem suspicious and ruin our friendship with them! Thanks!
This just comes down to expectations. Make sure you say "this could work, it could not work" - tell them you're optimistic, but given its your first time, they shouldn't invest what they can't afford to lose.

If I’m starting out fresh with no knowledge on Facebook ads. Is it advisable to look for clients and outsource the work? I plan on watching videos on Facebook ads to learn how to use it. But I honestly would prefer to outsource the work. So I can focus on acquiring more client. With that being said, I’m new to this. Never own an agency. Never done Facebook ads, social media management, etc
If you’re brand new and this is your first business I don’t recommend outsourcing from the beginning - if you have ~6 months of hands on experience you will know what to look for in outsourced work and know how to sell better. As a complete beginner it’s too easy to get taken advantage of
@@ItsKeaton You have a good point, I do plan on studying FB ads for a month. Watch lots of videos to understand how it functions. I’ll try it out first, hoping to sign a client for 3 month contract. If I can provide good results, plan on signing them for a 6 to 12 month contract.
Can you talk about these credit card points please? You use a credit card for your business instead of a visa? I've never used a credit card, so idk if I'm making any sense lol
@@ItsKeaton If I will partner my business manager with the client's business manager would I still need to verify my business manager or only the client who has to?
Great video man. However i would like to know as im newbie: 1. its one ad account for any page i manage or 1 page=1 ad account? 2. how do i add the client payment method if its my business manager??? lets say i have 3 clients how to connect each credit card? Thanks
1 Business Manager for Your Agency 1 ad account per client page To connect each credit card, you need to write it down (good idea to collect and have on file) and then you attach a separate payment method to each ad account in "payment method" settings
@@ItsKeaton So if i understand well: The only access The client should give me is only to put me as admin of page then i add it on my BM right? Then i create ad account for the client on my BM. Will the client trust me to give me his card number & security code?

Depends on if your target market is local to the stores and what your product is. Great topic for my community:

When asking for advice spend upfront how would you go about getting their payment the next time? Just ask again?
Never hesitate to ask.
