How To Verify Your Google Ads Account: A Comprehensive Guide

How To Verify Your Google Ads Account: A Comprehensive Guide
Read the video transcript

I need advice if you can. I'm using a Google Ads account. After some time, the Google Ads team sent me a request to verify the Google Ads account. So I'm not understanding how to verify accounts because they are yes. Okay, so you will need to verify your account. So what Google is asking you is they need some kind of proof that what you are saying, who you are, they want to know.

So they would need some kind of certificate of incorporation or registration. That's your company registration number. If in your country. And this also varies from country to country. Certificate of good standing. I've not heard before, a trade licence. You might have a DUNS certificate. So this is just general stuff. And if you don't have any of these, let's say you are a sole trader or a partnership, then you might not have the certificate of incorporation or registration.

Because you don't have a registration number, your company is not registered. So that's what I would do. Get in touch with Google and say, look, how else can I through verify my account? Please do that. Don’t ignore it. Because if you don't, then your ads will stop running.

Are you tired of not being able to advertise your business on Google? Want to reach a wider audience but don’t know how to verify your Google Ads account? Look no further!
