Overview

In this article, you’ll learn how to complete Google’s advertiser verification using the link sent by Kliken or one of our partner platforms. Completing verification ensures your ads remain active and compliant with Google’s advertising policies.


Before you begin

To complete verification smoothly, make sure you have:

  • A Google account (your existing Gmail or a new account created during the process)

  • Your business details:

    • Legal business name

    • Registered address and country

    • Primary contact information

  • Business verification documents, which may include:

    • Business registration

    • Certificate of incorporation

    • Tax documents

    • A government-issued ID if Google requires it

Important: Selecting or creating a payment profile does not change how Kliken bills your campaign. Kliken or your partner still manages billing.


Step 1: Open your verification link

You’ll receive your verification link from Kliken or one of our partner platforms by email or chat.

  1. Click the verification link.

  2. You’ll be taken to Google’s secure advertiser verification page.

Only the business owner or an authorized admin should complete this process.


Step 2: Create or select a payment profile

Google will prompt you to choose an existing payment profile or create a new one.

You’ll enter:

  • Business name

  • Country and address

  • Contact details

Ensure that all details match your legal documents as closely as possible.

This step is required for verification only. It does not modify your Kliken billing setup.


Step 3: Review and confirm your business details

Google will show you the information tied to your payment profile. Confirm that:

  • Your legal business name is correct

  • Your address matches your legal registration

  • The country is correct

Update anything that does not match your official documents before continuing.


Step 4: Upload verification documents

Google may ask you to upload documents to verify your identity or business. This can include:

Business documents

  • Certificate of incorporation

  • Business registration

  • Tax certificates

  • Other government-issued business documentation

Identity documents

  • Passport

  • National ID

  • Driver’s license

Make sure your uploads:

  • Are clear and readable

  • Show all corners/pages

  • Include both sides of any two-sided ID

  • Are not blurry or cropped


Step 5: Submit your verification

After reviewing your details and uploading documents, click Submit.

  • Most reviews take 3–5 business days.

  • Some may be faster or require additional checks.


Step 6: Confirm completion with Kliken or your partner

When finished:

  1. Reply to the message where you received the verification link.

  2. Confirm that you’ve completed the entire verification flow and submitted your documents.

This helps us track your progress, support you more quickly, and monitor Google’s response.

Google may still request additional documents or reject a submission if details don’t match.


What happens next

Google may contact you

Google could email you directly from Google Ads or Google Payments for additional information. Watch the inbox tied to your Google account.

If verification is not completed in time

Google may:

  • Pause or restrict your campaigns (around 30 days)

  • Fully suspend service if verification remains incomplete (often 45+ days)

Kliken or your partner may also need to stop your Google services if verification is not completed.

If your submission is rejected

  • Review Google’s explanation

  • Fix the issue

  • Re-upload the document(s)

  • Re-submit for review

If the message is unclear, share it with our support team—we’ll help interpret Google’s instructions.


Troubleshooting

The verification link doesn’t work

Try:

  • Using the latest link sent

  • Opening it in a different browser

  • Trying incognito/private mode

If not resolved, contact support with:

  • Your Google Ads Customer ID (CID)

  • A screenshot of the error


I can’t complete or edit the payment profile

Make sure you:

  • Are logged into the correct Google account

  • Follow Google’s on-screen instructions

If issues continue, send us a screenshot so we can review next steps.


My documents were rejected

Double-check:

  • Legal name and address match exactly

  • Images are clear and readable

  • All pages/sides are included

If Google explains why a document was rejected, fix the issue before resubmitting. If you’re unsure what Google is asking for, share the message with us.
