Walkthrough

To get started, head to app.getadplus.com/register. AdPlus is in public beta — no credit card required, and the first 50 active users get twelve months of Pro free.

After you fill in your name and email, AdPlus sends a verification link. Click that, and you’re in. You’ll land on the dashboard, which is empty until you connect at least one network.

Click Connections in the side nav, then Connect a network. Pick the network you’d like to use first — for this walkthrough, I’ll connect Google Ads.

This kicks off an OAuth flow. AdPlus redirects you to Google’s login page — that’s their page, not ours; we never see your password. You sign in, review the permissions AdPlus is requesting (read campaigns, manage campaigns, that kind of thing), and approve. Google sends you back to AdPlus with an OAuth token.

That token is what AdPlus uses to make API calls on your behalf. We encrypt it at rest with Fernet, so even our own engineers can’t read it without the production key. You can revoke it any time, either from inside AdPlus by hitting Disconnect on the network row, or from the network’s own settings page.

Once you’re back on the Connections page, you should see Google Ads listed with a green “active” status. If you have multiple ad accounts on Google, AdPlus prompts you to pick which one to use — you can switch later from the same page.

That’s it — you’re connected. Repeat for any other networks you want, and you’re ready for Step 2.
