Google Ads doesn't have a feature that allows you to directly apply coupons or promotional codes within the platform itself. However, you can use promotional codes or coupons when you initially set up your Google Ads account.
Here's how you can redeem a promotional code:
Create a Google Ads Account:
If you don't already have a Google Ads account, you'll need to create one. Visit the Google Ads website (ads.google.com), and click on "Start Now" or "Sign in."
Set Up Your Campaign:
Once your account is created or you've logged in, you'll need to set up your advertising campaign. This involves selecting your target audience, budget, and creating your ads.
Billing Information:
During the campaign setup process, you will be prompted to enter your billing information. This includes your credit card details.
Enter the Promotional Code:
If you have a promotional code or coupon, there should be an option to enter it during the billing setup process. Look for a section that says something like "Promotional code" or "Coupon code."
Verify and Redeem the Code:
Enter the code in the designated field and click "Apply" or "Redeem." The system will check the code's validity. If it's valid, the credit associated with the coupon will be applied to your account.
Review Your Billing Summary:
After redeeming the code, review your billing summary to ensure that the promotional credit has been applied correctly.
Please note that the specific steps and options may vary depending on your location and the promotions that Google is currently offering. Additionally, Google Ads policies and features may have changed since my last update in September 2021. Therefore, I recommend visiting the official Google Ads Help Center or contacting Google Ads support directly for the most up-to-date information and assistance with applying promotional codes or coupons to your account.
Keep in mind that promotional codes usually come with terms and conditions, including eligibility criteria and spending requirements, so be sure to read and understand the terms associated with the code you have.
