Google Ads Verification Process
Since 2020 Google has been gradually introducing a verification process for businesses that use their Google Ad services. Their reason for doing this is to ensure a safe and trustworthy ad experience for people who use Google Ads.
The timing of this new verification process was in response to the rise in scams and false information at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.
This new verification is process is now being rolled out to Australian businesses who use Google Ads.
