We have some problems to apply this request
-We can't query data with multiple clients in the API, so we'd need a loop request in the API
-GLSA API is slow, and this will loop the request. It will take a long time to process and probably get timeout errors.

Jay... I understand that the LSA API is slow. The front end is slow as well. LSA is probably the slowest item in our entire tech stack. Sometimes pulling up the web GUI can take 5-10 minutes to load and that's not my internet. Maybe a work around is to pull in data from LSA a set number of times per day, but not make it real time. Example, 2 times a day the API fires and grabs new data. When a person (agency/customer) uses the report, it shows data current as of the last pull, and a note showing the time of the last request. That way we semi-accurate data, and a timeline and understand. I think that could be a method to solve this.

I agree with the comments here. If there is a local business client that has 1 website but multiple locations, agency analytics needs to support multiple LSA accounts as one each is required for each location. Additionally (but not part of this ticket), we similarly need support for multiple social accounts, multiple google business profile accounts, and multiple google ad accounts.

Agree with Drew - It's essential for many, many customers to have multiple accounts or campaigns be included in on campaign. Having to use multiple campaigns & then yet another campaign to roll them up, all to have visibility for 1 single client, makes absolutely no sense! The software's purpose - to report on a single client's performance (campaign), really isn't met without this feature.
Note - this isn't just related to Google LSA. This applies to any campaign, and having the ability to include multiple locations / accounts / etc in one campaign, from the same source.

Many agencies, clients, and other entities will have multiple locations under one banner for GLSA. Google requires each location to be a separate account in their system, so one integration won't work there. It is cumbersome to have to add a new entry for each one, so we need the ability to house multiple GLSA accounts/integrations under one campaign.
