How do I verify the phone number for my ad group?

Short Answer: If you receive a message stating that your phone number could not be verified while creating your ad group or landing page, the solution is to add the phone number somewhere directly on your landing page.

Full Explanation

When setting up an ad group, the platform may require verification of your phone number to ensure authenticity and trustworthiness. If the system indicates that the phone number you provided could not be verified, it is typically because the number is not present or accessible on your landing page. By placing the phone number visibly on the landing page linked to your ad group, the platform can cross-check and confirm the phone number’s validity.

Step-by-Step Breakdown

1. Begin by creating your landing page as you normally would, keeping it relevant to your ad group.
2. During the ad group creation, if a notification appears that the phone number is unverified, review your landing page content.
3. Ensure that the phone number you want to verify is clearly displayed somewhere on the landing page.
4. After adding the phone number, attempt to verify it again through the ad group setup process.
5. The presence of the phone number on the landing page should resolve the verification issue.

Real Examples

For instance, if you included a phone number in your ad group settings but never added it to your landing page content, the verification process will not recognize it. By simply adding the same phone number text to a visible spot on your landing page, such as in the contact section or header, the system can verify your phone number seamlessly.

Common Mistakes

• Not adding the phone number to the landing page at all.
• Adding the phone number in a format that is not easily recognized or readable.
• Placing the phone number in areas of the landing page that may be hidden or inaccessible to verification systems.

FAQs

Q: Where exactly should I add the phone number on my landing page?
Any visible and accessible place on the landing page is sufficient. It can be in the contact section, header, or footer.

Q: What if my phone number still can’t be verified after adding it?
Ensure the phone number is correctly formatted and clearly visible without scripts or images that might hide it from verification tools.
