"Google's In-Account Certification Rollout: What You Need to Know"

Streamlined Certification Process for Social Casino Games on Google Ads

Google has recently introduced a new feature that allows eligible advertisers to apply for Social Casino Games certifications directly within their Google Ads accounts. This move aims to streamline the process, eliminating the need to go through the Google Ads Help Center.

The rollout of this new certification workflow is gradual, meaning that not all advertisers will immediately see this option in their accounts. Starting in August, eligible advertisers will begin to notice a new certification workflow within Google Ads.

Instead of navigating through the Google Ads Help Center, advertisers can now submit their Social Casino Games certification requests from a new Policy > Account section under Admin. For those who do not yet have access to this feature, they can continue utilizing the existing Help Center application process.

• Existing Social Casino Games certifications will remain valid.
• Pending certification applications will not be affected by the rollout.
• The feature will be introduced gradually, so its availability will vary by account.

New Copyright Certification Beta Feature
Paid Search Expert Arpan Banerjee also noticed a new account-level notice in Google Ads Manager prompting users to "Submit an application to use copyrighted content in your ads." Clicking on the provided link directs users to a form where they can request certification to use copyrighted content in their advertisements.

Significance of the Update
While this update does not alter Google's advertising policies, it significantly simplifies compliance for affected advertisers. By integrating certifications into the Google Ads interface, Google has minimized the friction associated with managing policy approvals. This integration allows advertisers to oversee certifications seamlessly alongside other account settings, enhancing the ease of tracking and maintaining the certification process.

In Conclusion
Google's initiative to facilitate the application process for Social Casino Games and copyright certifications through Google Ads marks a positive step towards enhancing user experience. Advertisers can look forward to a smoother certification process, although the transition will occur gradually, and existing certifications will remain unaffected.
