After payment · step 2 of 2

Grant read-only access.
Two minutes, then the clock starts.

You paid — good. Now give me eyes on the account. Analyst and viewer roles only: I never need edit rights, and you can revoke everything the moment your audit lands. The 48-hour clock starts when I confirm I can see the data.

The exact email address to invite is in your payment confirmation email. Grant access only to that address — never to an address someone else sends you. Only grant the platforms your audit covers: ad accounts + GA4 + GTM for the Tracking and Senior audits, Search Console (plus GA4 if you have it) for the SEO audit.

  1. Meta ad account — if the brand runs Meta

    Invite the email from your confirmation with the view-only role (Meta calls it Analyst or "View performance," depending on your account version).

    Meta Business Suite → Settings → People → Invite people → assign the ad account → view-only access

  2. Google Ads — if the brand runs Google

    Add the email with the Read only access level. That's the lowest rung Google offers — exactly right.

    Google Ads → Admin (Tools & Settings) → Access and security → + → enter email → Read only → Send invitation

  3. Google Analytics 4

    Add the email at the property level with the Viewer role.

    GA4 → Admin → Property access management → + → Add users → Viewer → Add

  4. Google Tag Manager — Tracking audits

    Add the email to your container with Read permission. This is where most measurement leaks hide, so don't skip it if you have a container.

    tagmanager.google.com → Admin → User Management → + → enter email → Read → Invite

  5. Search Console — SEO audits only

    Add the email as a user with the Restricted permission (view-only).

    Search Console → Settings → Users and permissions → Add user → Restricted → Add

  6. Reply "access granted" to your confirmation email

    Or write to hello@barlodigital.com. I check, confirm back with a timestamp, and that timestamp is when your 48 hours begin.

What happens next

Within 48 hours of that confirmation (48–72h on the Senior audit), your inbox gets a 10–15 minute walkthrough video plus a prioritized fix list — every finding documented with a screenshot and tied to the revenue it distorts, in your own numbers. No call needed to get it.

Then it's your move. Run the fixes yourself, hand the list to your current team, or book a call to have me fix or manage it — your audit fee credits 100% toward a retainer within 60 days. And the guarantee stands: 3+ documented leaks or it's free.

Stuck on any step? Some account setups bury these menus. Email hello@barlodigital.com with a screenshot of where you are and I'll point you at the button.
