# Quickstart

> Sign up, connect your accounts, and add your first client — start to finish.

This guide takes you from a brand-new account to a fully connected client. The
whole thing takes just a few minutes, and every plan starts with a **7-day free
trial** so you can set everything up before you're charged.

## 1. Create your account

<Steps>
  <Step title="Go to the sign-up page">
    Visit [clientplug.io/signup](https://clientplug.io/signup).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Sign up">
    Use **Continue with Google** for the fastest path, or enter your email and a
    password. If you sign up with email, check your inbox for a confirmation
    link.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start your trial">
    Pick a plan — **Starter**, **Pro**, or **Enterprise** — to begin your **7-day
    free trial**. You add a card up front but aren't charged until the trial
    ends, and you can cancel anytime before then. You're taken straight to your
    dashboard.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## 2. Run the setup wizard

The **Setup** page walks you through connecting your accounts and adding your
first clients. You can reach it any time from the left sidebar.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Connect Stripe">
    Paste your Stripe **Secret key** to sync client subscriptions, payment
    dates, and revenue automatically. See the [Stripe
    guide](/integrations/stripe) for exactly where to find your key.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect Meta Ads">
    Click connect and sign in with Facebook to authorize your Meta ad accounts.
    See [Meta Ads](/integrations/meta-ads).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect Google Ads">
    Click connect and sign in with Google to authorize your Google Ads account.
    See [Google Ads](/integrations/google-ads).
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  Every integration is optional. Connect only the ones you use — you can add the
  rest later from the **Integrations** page.
</Tip>

## 3. Add your first client

<Steps>
  <Step title="Add a client">
    From the dashboard, click **+ Add Client** (or add clients during the setup
    wizard).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Fill in the basics">
    * **Company Name** — how you'll recognize this client on your dashboard
    * **Campaign Type** — the service you provide (lead gen, e-commerce, SEO,
      paid ads, or social media management)
    * **Product / Service** — what they sell, shown on the client row
  </Step>

  <Step title="Link billing">
    If Stripe is connected, pick the client's **Stripe subscription** from the
    dropdown to auto-track payments and revenue. Otherwise, enter their monthly
    revenue and payment status manually.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Attach ad accounts">
    Connect the client's Meta and/or Google ad accounts so ClientPlug can pull
    campaign performance. See [Campaigns](/essentials/campaigns).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save">
    The client now appears as a row on your dashboard.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## 4. Sync and monitor

Click **Refresh** on the dashboard to pull the latest data from Stripe, Meta,
and Google. From here you can:

* See **payment status** and **monthly revenue** per client
* Expand a row to view its **Meta** and **Google** campaigns
* Watch your total **MRR** update at the top of the dashboard
* Add **to-dos** for each client
