[image: Screenshot_1.png] Hi,
While logged into my Google Ads account as a test MCC account and attempting to create a test client account, I encountered a warning instructing me to link a genuine existing account meeting specific criteria: - The linked Google Ads account should have a spending history exceeding $1,000. - It should demonstrate a track record of policy compliance. I'm seeking clarification on whether it is mandatory to connect my test account to a high-quality, real account to create a new test account. Is this a required procedure, or could it possibly be an error or bug? Your guidance on this matter would be appreciated. To reproduce the issue, I follow these steps: 1. Create a new Google Ads Test Manager/MCC Account as per instructions (referencing: https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/best-practices/test-accounts). 2. Successfully create the Test Manager. 3. Attempt to add a new Test Client Account (via Accounts > Create new account), resulting in a message indicating the inability to proceed. Kindly provide advice. For better comprehension, I've attached a screenshot illustrating our intended process. -- -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ Also find us on our blog: https://googleadsdeveloper.blogspot.com/ =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "AdWords API and Google Ads API Forum" group.
