Key Criteria for Evaluating Account Value
An account's "reputation" or "health" is determined by several factors. When choosing, be sure to pay attention to the following points:
1. Spending History (Spend)
This is the most important metric. The higher the account's total historical spend, the higher Google's trust in it. High-spending accounts are considered reliable advertisers and therefore face fewer reviews and restrictions when launching new campaigns.
2. Account Age
Older accounts (usually 6 months or more) are more stable than new ones. A long-term presence proves to Google that the account is not being used for one-off illicit activities, which significantly reduces the risk of being accidentally flagged or banned.
3. Ad History
We carefully review an account's past advertising campaigns. Accounts with a "white-hat" (legitimate industry) advertising history and successful ad approvals are more valuable. If an account has been used to promote prohibited products, its future risk will be high.
4. Account Status and Violation Record
A "clean" account, meaning one that has not received serious warnings, had frequent ad disapprovals, or a suspension history, is the ideal choice. This indicates that the account holder understands and complies with Google's policies.
5. Geolocation and Currency
The account's registered country and default currency should match the target market where you plan to run ads. For example, if you want to advertise in the US market, a USD account would be the best choice, as it helps with payment and tax processes.
6. Verification Status
If an account has successfully completed the advertiser verification process, its credibility and value increase significantly. These accounts have the highest level of trust and are the most sought-after resources on the market.
