Step-by-Step Guide on How to Create a Google Ads Account

Step 1: Visit Google Ads Website

To learn how to create a Google Ads account, navigate to ads.google.com and click the blue ‘Start now’ button to begin the signup process. This will take you to the account creation interface where you can begin setting up your new advertising account.

Step 2: Sign in with Your Google Account

If you already have a Google Account (e.g. Gmail), use it to sign in. If you don’t have one, click “Create Account” and follow the prompts to set up a new Google Account. We recommend creating a dedicated Google Account specifically for your business advertising needs.

Step 3: Add Your Business Information

You’ll be prompted to enter your business name and website URL. This information helps Google pre-fill campaign details later and tailor the setup process to your needs. Make sure to enter your website URL carefully to avoid any typos that could affect your campaigns.

Step 4: Link Existing Accounts (Optional)

As part of learning how to create a Google Ads account, Google will offer to link your existing accounts, including YouTube channels and Google Business Profile accounts. This step can be skipped initially – you can always connect these accounts later after your Google Ads account is fully set up.

Step 5: Choose Account Creation Path

You’ll have an account without a campaign. We recommend selecting “Create an account without a campaign” to focus on proper account setup first.

Step 6: Configure Location and Currency Settings

Select your country, time zone, and currency. For Korean businesses, select South Korea as your billing country and Korean Won (KRW) as your currency. These settings cannot be changed later, so choose carefully.

Step 7: Set Up Billing Information

Enter your billing details including your business address and payment method. For Korean businesses, you can choose between:

• Manual payments (prepaid): Load money into your account before ads run
  
• Automatic payments (post-paid): Pay after your ads run

You can use either domestic payment methods through LG U+ or international credit cards, depending on your preference and tax receipt requirements.

Step 8: Complete Business Profile

Fill out your business information exactly as it appears on your business registration documents. This includes:

• Company name
  
• Business registration number
  
• Representative name
  
• Business address
  
• Contact information

Step 9: Verify Your Account

During the process of learning how to create your Google Ads account, Google might also request additional verification, such as confirming your payment method with a small test charge. After you complete these steps, your account will be officially active and ready for campaign setup.

Special Google Ads Promotional Offer

When you work with InterCultural Communications to set up your Google Ads account, you’ll be eligible for a special promotional offer: KRW 600,000 in free advertising credits when you spend KRW 600,000 within the first 60 days of account activation. This promotional credit can significantly reduce your initial advertising costs and help you maximize your return on investment.

Prepare Supporting Tools

Consider also setting up Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager to track your advertising performance effectively.
