# Manage account types

> Create, rename and delete the account types used to categorise advertisers.

export const Ui = ({children}) => <span style={{
  display: "inline-flex",
  alignItems: "center",
  padding: "1px 6px",
  background: "#f7f8f8",
  border: "1px solid #e9ecef",
  borderRadius: 4,
  fontSize: "0.92em",
  fontWeight: 500,
  color: "#101213"
}}>
    {children}
  </span>;

**Account types** categorise the advertisers you set up as
[accounts](/setup/add-account) — for example `Hotels` or `Tourist Board`.
Use them to keep your account list consistent and make it easier to filter and
report on similar advertisers.

<Tip>
  Keep the list short and use plural, generic names (`Hotels`, `Airlines`,
  `Tourist Boards`). Use [tags](/more/tagging) for anything more specific.
