Step 3 - Click Next
Google will autofill this info for you. We will change it later. Click next.
Step 4 - Click Skip or Next
This is info we will link intentionally later on. Click skip.
Step 5 - Click "SET UP AN ACCOUNT ONLY"
IMPORTANT - At this point, Google will give you the option to skip setting up a campaign and to set up an account only.
Choose this option by clicking the blue link in the bottom left corner shown in the image below.
If you accidentally set up a campaign at this step, you risk wasting money on an improperly configured campaign.
Step 6 - Add you Preferred Payment Method
This is the payment method that Google will charge for ad spend.
Ensure that it is correct, selct "No" in the "want personalized guidance" section below, and click submit.
Step 9 - You will be taken to the main Google Ads Dashboard
Nothing is required of you at this step, but note the billing section near the bottom, as well as the profile section in the top right.
Move onto the next step.
Step 10 - Add a backup payment method
In order for ads to run properly, you need to input a backup payment method now.
If you do not have a backup payment method, reach out to Indigo Media Solutions ([email protected]) to discuss options.
Step 11 - Account Number
In the profile section that we identified in step 9, you will see a 10 digit, phone number-looking number.
Send that number in an email to [email protected]
We will send a request to manage your ad account. This request will come to the email inbox that you used to set up this account.
Once you accept it, we will begin setting up your campaigns and get your ads live ASAP.
