AdSense Related Search units (auto ads) eligibility?

I setup a new adsense account and a new website, both about a couple months old.

I am able to setup display banners but the auto-ads for related search ad block isnt showing. I have done the reseach that its when google deems appropriate to be shown (I get that part)

I’ve seen mixed information around things like:

• Account age
• Site history vs brand-new sites
• Content depth and structure
• Traffic sources (organic vs discovery/social)
• Geo focus (US vs non-US)

Just looking for insight from publishers who’ve legitimately seen these units appear in their AdSense accounts.

If you’ve had Related Search show up:

• How long did it take?
• Was it site-specific or account-wide?
• Did it appear automatically or after certain changes?

Any real-world experience would be appreciated.

from what I’ve seen, it’s less about account age and more about traffic quality.

related search usually shows up once the site has steady organic traffic and decent engagement. brand new sites or mostly social traffic often don’t trigger it.

it’s not always account-wide either, sometimes it appears on one site and not another.

if your site is only a couple months old, it’s probably just too early. once Google sees stable search traffic, it tends to unlock on its own.
