For billing purposes, an account is a data source for which you create reports.
You are not alone in asking. We get this question a
lot! It is confusing because for each connector, it may be called something different.
What an account
is
In Facebook Insights, an account is your
Page.
For YouTube Analytics, a
Channel is an account.
For Google Analytics, it can be different. In Universal Analytics, a View is an account.
But in GA4, an account is a
Property
.
And in Microsoft Ads, an Account is an account.
What an account is
not
This can sometimes be even
more
confusing because the login you use at your data source may be called an "account" but it will not be billed that way.
A Facebook Ads business manager login is
not an account. In this case, an Ad Account
is an account.
An MCC login for Google Ads is
not
an account. In this case, an Account is an account.
