How to Track Multiple Google Ads Campaigns Under One Payment Method (2025 Guide)
If you're running multiple Google Ads campaigns and want to track all spending under a single payment method, follow these best practices to efficiently manage your budget.

✅ 1. Use a Google Ads Manager Account (MCC) for Multiple Campaigns
The best way to track multiple campaigns under one payment method is to use a Google Ads Manager (MCC) account.

🔹 Benefits:

Manage multiple Google Ads accounts under one dashboard.
Use a single payment method for all accounts.
Consolidate billing and reporting for easy tracking.
🔹 How to Set Up MCC for Centralized Billing:
Go to Google Ads Manager (MCC)
Click Create a Manager Account.
Link all existing ad accounts to your MCC.
Go to Billing → Set Up Consolidated Billing.
Assign a single payment method (credit card, bank transfer, or invoice).
✅ Now all campaigns from different accounts will be charged under one payment method.

✅ 2. Use "Account-Level Budgets" for Multiple Campaigns in a Single Account
If you're running multiple campaigns inside ONE Google Ads account, set campaign budgets but track all payments under a single method.

🔹 How to Do It:

Open Google Ads → Tools & Settings.
Go to Billing & Payments → Account Budgets.
Set up a Master Budget (e.g., $10,000/month).
Assign portions of the budget to each campaign.
✅ Now all campaigns share the same payment method, but spending stays controlled.

✅ 3. Use Labels & Reports to Track Campaign-Specific Spending
If you prefer detailed tracking per campaign, use labels & custom reports.

🔹 How to Track Spending by Campaign:

Go to Google Ads → Campaigns.
Click on Reports → Predefined Reports → Billing.
Select Campaign Spend Report.
Apply filters by Campaign Name, Date Range, and Cost.
✅ Now you can track which campaigns are using your budget the most.

✅ 4. Use Google Ads "Shared Budgets" for Easy Spending Control
Shared Budgets allow multiple campaigns to use a single budget limit.
Useful when managing multiple campaigns with the same goal.
🔹 How to Set Up a Shared Budget:

Go to Tools & Settings → Shared Library.
Click Shared Budgets → Create New Budget.
Assign campaigns to share the budget.
✅ This ensures better control while keeping payments under one method.

✅ 5. Set Up Google Ads Monthly Invoicing for Large Accounts
If you're an agency or business spending $5,000+ per month, Google offers monthly invoicing.

🔹 How to Request Google Invoice Billing:

Go to Billing & Payments → Payment Settings.
Select Request Invoice Billing (only available for eligible accounts).
Google will approve based on spending history.
✅ All campaigns will now be tracked under one consolidated invoice.

🚀 Final Recommendations:
✔️ For multiple Google Ads accounts → Use MCC (Google Ads Manager Account).
✔️ For multiple campaigns in one account → Use Account Budgets + Shared Budgets.
✔️ For easy reporting → Use custom labels & campaign reports.
✔️ For large spending ($5K+/mo) → Request invoice billing.
