Fast-Track Google Ads Verification with D-U-N-S.

If you’re working with Google Ads, you know that verification can sometimes be a time-consuming and unpredictable process. One of the faster and more reliable ways to complete business verification is by using a D-U-N-S number — a unique identifier for companies used globally for business verification purposes.
It’s important to note that this method is available only for European accounts and exclusively for accounts registered as an Organization. If your account is registered under an individual’s name, this approach won’t apply.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to completing verification smoothly and efficiently using the D-U-N-S system.

Step 1: Select a Company with a Valid D-U-N-S Number​

Before setting up your payment profile, visit the official D-U-N-S website (https://dunsnumberlookup.dnb.com/en-gb/home). You’ll use this resource to find a company whose data you’ll later use for the verification process.

• Enter any keyword or city in the search field
• Choose a company from the results — ideally one that appears reputable but isn’t widely recognized
• Copy the company’s name and full address

For instance, entering “Sushi” might return a list of restaurants or suppliers — simply select the first relevant option

Step 2: Set Up Your Google Ads Payment Profile​

• Create a new payment profile in your Google Ads account using the details of the selected company.
• Copy and paste the name and address of the company exactly as listed in the D-U-N-S directory.
• Link a valid payment method to the account.
• After saving these details, proceed to the verification stage.

• After creating the payment profile, we proceed to the verification process.

• After that, we start entering the data that we got from this site.

Step 3: Request the D-U-N-S Number​

• Return to the D-U-N-S website and initiate a request for the company’s D-U-N-S number via email.
• Enter a placeholder name and use any working email address (ideally a business email under your control).
• Wait for the email with the D-U-N-S number, which usually arrives within a short timeframe.

Step 4: Submit the D-U-N-S Number in Google Ads​

• Enter the received D-U-N-S number into the appropriate field in your Google Ads account under the verification section.
• Submit the verification request.
• Wait for confirmation from Google before proceeding with your advertising campaigns.

Once approved, your account will be fully verified and ready for launch.
