Account activation process

After creating your AdSense account, on the home page of your AdSense, there is a list of tasks to complete before Google can activate your AdSense account. The tasks are below and can be carried out in any order;

1.       Enter your payments information

·        Enter your full name exactly as it appears on your banking information.

·       Provide the full postal address of your bank account, including the zip code, so you can get paid.

·        Provide a valid phone number.


2.   (Optional) See how ads look on your site

Consider turning on Auto ads so that ads will appear on your site as soon as your account is activated.

3.       Connect your site to AdSense:

·   Your site must be live and contain enough content for our specialists to evaluate. If your site is under construction, doesn't load, or is difficult to navigate, Google can't activate your account.

·    Make sure you provided the correct URL when you created your AdSense account.

·        Review your site to make sure it complies with Google Program policies.

·        Copy the code exactly as it appears on your AdSense homepage.

·        Paste the code between the <head> and </head> tags of a page that contains content and gets regular traffic.


Upon completion of the tasks, Google reviews the payment information you have provided to make sure they are correct. They also check your entire site to know if it complies with the AdSense Program policies.

This activation process usually takes a few days before it is completed, though in some cases it can take 2-4 weeks. Once the activation process is complete, Google sends you a mail notifying you that your account is fully activated.  

Now, you can set up ads on your site and start earning money on it. If you have already turned on Auto ads on your site, Google ads will automatically start to show on your site.

It is important that while you are waiting to activate your AdSense account, you get your site privacy ready. Make sure that your site is complying with privacy regulations like the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) before you start showing ads to your users.

Also, note that Google gives you 6 months to complete all the steps and activate your AdSense account. If you are unable to complete the process after 6 months, your account will be deactivated.


What happens if Google can't activate your account

If Google can't activate your account, they will send you an email to explain why and what steps you can take to address the issues. You can learn more about what to do if AdSense can't activate your account.
