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. Switching is instant. Most of Hero Marketer is scoped to one Google Ads account at a time, so switching changes what you see across the app.

This works once you've connected more than one Google Ads account. If the account you want isn't in the switcher, it isn't 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've 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 isn't the current account; clicking it does the same switch as the sidebar. The active account's card shows a small "Active" badge, so it's clear which Google Ads account you're working in. This is handy when you're already on the Connections page and don't 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 switching 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 is tied to the account it was started against, so switching accounts mid-flow clears the draft. This keeps keywords and ad copy from getting mixed across accounts.
  • Hero AI chats. Each Google Ads account keeps its own list of saved chats, up to 10 per account. Switching reveals that account's chats; chats on the previous account stay saved on it, just out of view.
  • Products. The product picker shows products on the active account. Products don't 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 are shared across your whole workspace and don't change when you switch Google Ads accounts:

  • Your subscription and credit balance. Credits are pooled across all your connected accounts, not metered per account.
  • Your team and permissions, if any. These are set at the workspace level.

You can't switch while Hero AI is generating​

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

Switching accounts versus adding one​

Switching and adding 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 isn't connected yet, the switcher won't show it. See Add another Google Ads account.

Seeing all your accounts at once​

Hero Marketer shows one Google Ads account at a time. There is no combined all-accounts dashboard that rolls every connected account into a single 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 won't 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.
  • Switching does nothing or loops back to the original account. Refresh the page. If that doesn't fix it, your session may have expired, see Session keeps expiring.
