Google Ads Ad Certifications application is now in the account

Written by Paid Media Collective
IN BRIEF

Anthony Higman has flagged that the ability to apply for Google Ads Ad Certifications is now available directly inside Google Ads accounts: what was formerly the standalone Google Ads Advertiser Verification Page. The integration removes a friction point in the certification application workflow, with the certification surface now appearing within the account UI rather than on an external page.

THE COLLECTIVE PERSPECTIVE

Why it matters for advertisers

For you, this means that agencies and advertisers in regulated verticals (healthcare, financial services, etc.) that require Ad Certifications can now manage certification status directly within Google Ads. Worth noting that this is distinct from the broader Google Ads account verification process.
