How to Set Up a Google Ads Account Without a Campaign

Hey Friends! Are you ready to dive into the world of Google Ads but don’t want to jump into a full campaign just yet? No worries! Setting up a Google Ads account without starting a campaign is super simple. Let’s walk through the steps together!

Step 1: Go to Google Ads

First, head over to the Google Ads website. You’ll see a big button that says “Start Now.” Click it, and let’s get started!

Step 2: Sign In or Create an Account

If you already have a Google account (like Gmail), you can sign in with that. If not, you’ll need to create a new Google account. Just follow the prompts, and you’ll be up and running in no time!

Step 3: Choose Your Goal

Once you’re signed in, Google Ads will ask you to choose a goal. Don’t worry too much about this right now! You can select “Create an account without a campaign.” This option lets you set up your account without launching any ads just yet.

Step 4: Enter Your Business In formation

Now, it’s time to fill in some details about your business:

Business Name: What’s your business called?
Website: If you have a website, enter the URL. If not, you can leave this blank for now.
Country: Select your country (like the beautiful UAE!).
Time Zone: Choose your time zone so you can track your ads accurately.

Step 5: Skip Your Campaign

Before proceeding, you might notice prompts encouraging you to set up a campaign. Here’s how to skip this step:

Look for the “Switch to Expert Mode” option on the screen. This bypasses the guided setup process for campaigns.
Once in Expert Mode, select the option “Create an account without a campaign.”
Follow any on-screen instructions to confirm your preference. This ensures your account is created without initiating any ads or campaigns.

Step 6: Set Up Billing Information

Next, you’ll need to enter your billing information. This is where you provide your payment method, like a credit card. Don’t worry; you won’t be charged anything until you start running ads.

Step 7: Review and Complete

After entering your billing info, review everything to make sure it looks good. Once you’re satisfied, click “Submit” or “Finish” to complete your account setup.

Step 7: Explore Your Account

Congratulations! You’ve successfully set up your Google Ads account without a campaign. Now you can take your time to explore the dashboard. Here, you can learn about different features, tools, and settings.
