What is Ad Manager?


Ad Manager brings Facebook, Instagram, Google, and LinkedIn Ads together into one easy-to-use dashboard.

Instead of switching between different ad platforms, users can create campaigns, track performance, and optimize results — directly within HighLevel. This saves time, reduces complexity, and makes professional advertising accessible for businesses of all sizes.


Ad Manager enables both agencies and sub-accounts to run high-performing campaigns and analyze performance without leaving the HighLevel platform.
