      Hello, all! I like to create a Google Account for my smaller clients, so that I can associate Analytics, AdWords, GMB, etc. all with the same account. Problem: I've used my phone number too many times, so I can't get the new account verified. I've also used all three of the other phones in our family. 🙂  I tried using the "Burner" iPhone app to create a new number, but apparently the all-knowing Google even has info on phone numbers, as it returned "This phone number cannot be used for verification." I'm sure that there's an obvious solution out there - who among you has found it, and is willing to share?! 🙂

        Scott, why dont you create one agency account and then keep adding your clients to Analytics, webmaster, GTM etc. using their email id instead of creating one account for each client. You will have admin access and depending upon rights/access you can give access to each client the the property created under your own account.

            Hey - another vote for getting this set up for your client. It is a pain sometimes to get them to verify etc but if you can do it this way the client retains central control and visibility and you can then bolt on access to all of these platforms.

            Hope that helps
            Marcus
