How To Create A Google Ads Account

1. In Google Ads, sign in to your existing Google Account or create a new one.
   • If you already have a Google Account (in other words, if you use any other Google product, such as Gmail), enter your Google email address and password, then click Sign in.
   • If you don’t have an existing Google Account, or want to use a different email address to sign in, click Create an account at the bottom of the screen and follow the instructions to create and confirm your new Google Account.
2. To create your first campaign, set up the following:
   • Campaign goal
   • Business name and website
   • Ad (including headlines, descriptions and a phone number)
   • Keyword themes
   • Location settings
   • Budget
3. On the last page, set up your billing information by following these steps:
   1. Click the ‘Billing country’ drop-down menu and select the country or territory where your billing address is located. Your billing country determines the billing options that are available for your location and currency.
   2. Make sure that the correct time zone has been selected. If not, click the drop-down menu to change it. Your reports, statistics and billing are all affected by the time zone that you select, so choose carefully.
   3. If you have a promotional code (also known as coupons or vouchers), enter the code in ‘Introductory offer’ and click Apply.
   4. You’ll be prompted to select either an existing payment profile or to create a new one. Your ‘Account type’ will default to ‘Organisation’, but you can change to ‘Individual’ if appropriate, for tax purposes in your country.
   5. Enter information for the payment method that you want to use for this account, such as a credit or debit card, PayPal or bank account.
4. Click Submit to create your campaign and complete your account setup.

After you’ve created your campaign and set up your account, it will take about a day to approve your ad. Then it can start showing to potential customers.
