Switch between accounts

To switch between connected Google Ads accounts, click the account switcher at the top of the sidebar and pick the account you want. The switch is instant. Most of Hero Marketer is scoped to one Google Ads account at a time, so when you switch, what you see across the app changes.

This works once you have connected more than one Google Ads account. If the account you want is not in the switcher, it is not connected yet. See Add another Google Ads account.

Switch from the sidebar​

The account switcher sits at the top of the sidebar. Click it to see every Google Ads account you have connected, then click one to make it active. Hero Marketer updates the active account, refreshes the dashboard against that account's data, and re routes any in flight queries to it.

Switch from the Connections page​

You can also switch from Account → Connections. Each account card has a Make active button when it is not the current account. When you click it, the switch works the same as it does from the sidebar. The active account's card shows a small "Active" badge, so it is clear which Google Ads account you are working in. This is handy when you are already on the Connections page and do not want to go back to the sidebar.

Switch with the keyboard​

The account switcher is keyboard accessible. Open it with Cmd K (or Ctrl K on Windows), type to filter the list, and select with the arrow keys plus Enter.

What changes when you switch accounts​

Most of Hero Marketer is scoped to the active Google Ads account, so a switch changes:

  • Dashboard. Shows campaigns and metrics for the active account only.
  • Reporting filters. The dashboard and the campaigns list remember date range, comparison, campaign type, status, and selected campaign names per Google Ads account.
  • Campaign wizard. Builds campaigns into the active account. An in progress wizard draft stays tied to the account where you started it. If you switch accounts mid flow, Hero Marketer clears the draft. This keeps keywords and ad copy from mixing across accounts.
  • Hero AI chats. Each Google Ads account keeps its own list of saved chats, up to 10 per account. When you switch, Hero Marketer reveals that account's chats. Chats on the previous account stay saved on that account, just out of view.
  • Products. The product picker shows products on the active account. Products do not move between accounts.
  • Account settings. Time zone and currency reflect the active account's Google Ads settings.

What stays the same when you switch accounts​

Some things stay shared across your whole workspace and do not change when you switch Google Ads accounts:

  • Your subscription and credit balance. Hero Marketer pools your credits across all your connected accounts and does not meter them per account.
  • Your team and permissions, if any. Hero Marketer sets these at the workspace level.

You cannot switch while Hero AI generates​

While Hero AI generates a response, the account switcher is locked. If you switch mid response, the reply can orphan against the wrong account's data. Wait for the response to finish, or stop it from the chat input, then switch accounts.

Switch accounts versus add one​

A switch and an add are different actions, and which you need depends on whether the Google Ads account is already connected:

  • Switch when the account is already connected. The switcher shows it.
  • Add when the account is not connected yet. The switcher will not show it. See Add another Google Ads account.

See all your accounts at once​

Hero Marketer shows one Google Ads account at a time. There is no dashboard that combines every connected account into one view. To compare accounts today, switch between them, or ask Hero AI the same question against each account and compare the answers. (Hero AI answers about the active account only, so switch the account before each question.)

If an account is missing or will not switch​

  • An account disappeared from the switcher. Either its Google Ads connection was revoked, or the account was removed from your workspace. If the connection was revoked, reconnect it from Account → Connections. See Disconnect Google Ads for the reconnect steps.
  • A switch does nothing or loops back to the original account. Refresh the page. If that does not fix it, your session may have expired. See Session keeps expiring.
