- Select AdWords Classic not AdWords Express. (see screenshot below)
Read more about the differences between AdWords Classic & AdWords Express.
Use AdWords Classic
- If you already have an AdWords Account, you must create a new account to bypass billing setup. Ad Grants cannot be applied to AdWords accounts with billing enabled.
STEP 4
Create AdWords account & submit to Google for approval.
Please read the latest AdWords account creation guide for Google Ad Grants.
- Ensure set up using $USD and do not enter billing information!
Check the boxes & enter your 10 digit account ID#
Once you've submitted your application, you'll receive an email from the Google team with your status within about 5 working days but it's usually a lot quicker!
