By clicking on “Add A Person”, a window will pop up and you will be asked to enter a friend. Give them the proper details and designate them as an administrator, advertiser, or analyst. For instance, you might want to review your audiences or add your service provider to your account if you run local SEO services for your business in an effort to increase traffic. However, if you are the Business Manager’s Owner Account and don’t require anyone to manage your account, you can skip this step.
