<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="My Google Ads account won't connect">
    Make sure you're signing in with the Google account that has **admin
    access** to your Google Ads account. If you're using an MCC (Manager
    Account), ensure you have access to the specific sub-accounts you want to
    connect.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="My Meta Ads account won't connect">
    Verify that your Facebook account has **advertiser** or **admin** access to
    the Meta Ads account. You may need to accept updated permissions in Meta
    Business Suite.

  <Accordion title="Data isn't showing after connection">
    Initial sync can take up to 10 minutes for accounts with extensive history.
    If data still doesn't appear after 15 minutes, try disconnecting and
    reconnecting the integration.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="I don't see all my campaigns">
    Check that you selected all the ad accounts you want to sync during the
    connection process. You can add more accounts in **Settings →
