# How do I get started with AdBacklog?

## Create your free account, set up a workspace and add your first campaign and numbers in about five minutes.

AdBacklog gives you one overview of every ad channel: what is live, what it costs and what it returns. This guide takes you from sign-up to your first numbers.

### 1. Create your account

Go to [app.adbacklog.com](https://app.adbacklog.com) and sign up. The Starter plan is free and needs no credit card.

### 2. Set up your workspace

Give your workspace a name and pick your currency under **Settings \> Workspace**. Agencies can create one workspace per client on the Agency plan.

### 3. Add your first campaign

Open **Backlog** and click **New campaign**. Add a name, the channels it runs on, dates and a budget.

### 4. Add your numbers

Open **Enter metrics** and fill in last week's spend and results, paste them from Excel or Google Sheets, or import a CSV. You can also connect Meta, Google Ads, Microsoft Ads or Reddit to load results every day.

### 5. Check the Overview

The **Overview** shows spend against budget, revenue, leads and live campaigns for the period you pick. **Needs attention** lists channels that run ahead of or behind plan and live campaigns with missing tracking.

### Next steps

- Invite your team under **Settings \> Team**.
- Press **⌘J** (Ctrl+J on Windows) to ask AI about your campaigns.
