Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to complete the Flyweel onboarding?
The onboarding process takes approximately 5 minutes: connect your ad platforms via OAuth, then fill in your profile details.
What do I need before starting with Flyweel?
You need admin access to your advertising accounts (Google Ads or Meta Ads). That’s it — no email verification step is required; Flyweel uses magic link authentication.
Can I skip the profile setup step?
Yes, you can come back to it later from your account settings.
Can I connect multiple ad accounts from the same platform?
Yes, you can connect unlimited ad accounts for each supported platform, including Google Ads Manager (MCC) accounts that automatically include all sub-accounts.
What happens after I connect my first platform?
Once you connect a platform, Flyweel begins syncing your campaign data and you’ll be directed to your dashboard.
How quickly does Flyweel sync data from my advertising platforms?
After initial connection, data typically syncs within 2-15 minutes depending on account size, with ongoing updates every 4 hours.
What should I do if my platform connection fails during onboarding?
Ensure you have admin access to the advertising account, check that popup blockers aren’t interfering with OAuth, and contact team@flyweel.co if issues persist.
