Creating a New Universal Ads Organization

To set up your new ad account and start advertising with Universal Ads, you’ll first need to register your personal account and set up your Ad Organization and Ad Account. Watch the video below for an overview, then follow the steps to get started.
 

If you need to be added to an existing Ad Organization or Ad Account, reach out to your Universal Ads Organization owner for an invitation.

Universal Ads Account Registration

This section should only be completed by businesses setting up a new Organization. If you need to be added to an existing organization, please reach out to the Organization owner to be invited to the Organization and relevant Ad Accounts.

1. Go to https://manage.universalads.com/login and click the Create Account button at the bottom of the page.
2. Enter your email to start the verification process. By clicking Verify Email, you are agreeing to Universal Ads' General Terms, Advertiser Terms, and Privacy Policy.
3. An email with a verification link will be sent to the email address provided. 
4. The verification link page will then ask you to set a password for your account.

Organization & Ad Account Creation

Once you've set up your account credentials, you'll start the process of creating your Organization and first Ad Account.

1. Select how your Organization will be used: advertising for your own business (e.g., a brand or small business) or advertising as an agency or consultant on behalf of other brands.
2. Next, select the Special Category that best reflects what you'll be advertising on Universal Ads. Certain categories have specific advertising workflows, policies, and compliance requirements.
   • Universal Ads asks about sensitive advertising categories during registration to help ensure the appropriate compliance requirements are applied.
   • If you're an agency, you can create separate Ad Accounts for clients with different advertising needs and select the appropriate category when each Ad Account is created.
3. Enter your business details. Agencies should enter their agency's business information, while brands should enter their own business information.
   • If you have a Referrer or Promo Code, enter it on this page to ensure the appropriate promotion or referral is applied.
4. Once submitted, your Organization will go through verification. Verification typically takes 1–2 business days. Once complete, you'll receive an email confirming whether your Organization has been approved or rejected.
5. Once approved, you'll need to add and assign a valid payment method to your Ad Account before you can activate your ads. For instructions on adding and assigning a credit card, review the Billing & Payments article.
6. Your first Ad Account will be automatically named “[Organization Name] Ad Account.” To change the name, go to Ad Accounts under Business Settings and click Edit Account. You can also add new ad accounts from this page, to learn more visit our article on Creating an Ad Account.
