Clarification for Business Operations VerificationGoogle requires certain advertisers to undergo a verification process in order to ensure a safe and trustworthy ad experience for users. This verification process helps us learn about our advertisers’ business, the products and services they offer, and the relationships our advertisers have with advertised brands or third parties (if applicable). The person responsible for completing the verification should be familiar with business operations and advertising practices for the Google Ads account. The estimated time to complete the verification process is 15 to 30 minutes. In order to continue advertising using Google Ads, please fully complete the business operations verification for your Google Ads account within 7 days from the date of the first email notification. Please do not share any sensitive personally identifiable information (e.g. individual SSN, driver’s license) or business identifiers that are not requested (e.g. tax ID) in the verification form. * Required fieldInitial Questions 1.
