Google Ads Account creation

How to Create a Google Ads Account (Updated Method – Step-by-Step Guide)

Google Ads recently introduced a few updates, and because of this, many people are finding it confusing to create a new account. The process has changed, and there are new steps and options during setup. If you are just trying to create an account (not a campaign), this guide will help you step-by-step.

Let’s now see how to create a Google Ads account from scratch using the new process.

Step 1: Open Google and Search for “Google Ads”

• First, open your web browser (such as Chrome or Firefox).
• Then, go to www.google.com and search for “Google Ads” in the search box.
• In the search results, click on the official Google Ads link. It usually appears at the top and will say something like "Google Ads - Grow Your Business."

Step 2: Click on “Sign In”

• Once the Google Ads homepage opens, look at the top right corner of the page.
  Click the “Sign In” button.
• If you are already logged in with a Google account, it will directly take you to the next step. If not, you might need to sign in using your Gmail ID.

Step 3: Select “New Google Ads Account”

• After signing in, Google will take you to create a new account if you don’t have one yet.
  Click on “New Google Ads Account” to begin the setup.

Step 4: Enter Your Business Name and Website URL

Now, you will be asked to enter two details:

• Your Business Name
• Your Website URL (the link to your business)

Type in your actual details. If you are doing this for practice or a demo, you can enter sample data.

Step 5: Skip Campaign Setup Steps

• Since we are only creating the account and not running any ads, you can skip the next few steps.
• At every step, if you see a “Skip” button or a small option to skip, go ahead and click on it.
  Keep skipping until you see a popup saying “Leave Campaign Creation?”

Step 6: Confirm Leaving Campaign Setup

• When you see the popup asking if you want to leave the campaign creation process,
  Click on “Leave” to exit from that section.
• This will take you directly to the account settings page, where you can finish creating the account.

Step 7: Add Billing Details

Now it's time to enter your billing details. You will need to choose:

• Billing Country
• Time Zone
• Currency

Make sure these details are correct, because once you set them, you cannot change them later.

For example, if you are in India, choose:

• Country: India
• Time Zone: India Standard Time
• Currency: Indian Rupee (INR)

Step 8: Set Up Payment Profile

After billing info, you will be asked to create a payment profile.

You need to enter:

• Your business/organization name
• Address details
• Contact number

If this is for testing or learning, feel free to use sample details.

Step 9: Select Payment Method

Next, you will see options to add your payment method.
 You can choose from:

• Credit or debit card
• Net banking (based on your region)
• Pay with bank transfer

Choose the one that suits you best.

Step 10: Turn Off Setup Guidance

Google may ask if you want help or step-by-step guidance.
Choose “No” when asked for guidance. This keeps the process simple.

Step 11: Submit and Finish

Finally, click the “Submit” button.

After submission, your new Google Ads account will be created successfully.

You can now explore the platform, add campaigns later, or manage settings. If you’re doing this just for learning, you can stop here without creating any ads.
