Hello BT, Chris, Sorry for my ambiguous words for question #2. Please see the corrected version of my answer below.
> 2) An account was part of the auto-migration, if it has an unverified > location will ads continue to run location extensions? In order for the locations to be published *in Google Search and Map*, they will have to be verified first. Please check this document <https://support.google.com/business/answer/3480862> for more details. *For ads themselves, unverified status doesn't prevent ads to use that location as its extension.* In other words, *yes*, the ads continue to run location extensions after migration. For question #1, > 1)If a client already has a google my business account, but has not > disclosed logins to link the current campaign. Will the auto-migration > duplicate two Google My Business accounts The auto-migration will *always* create a new GMB account. Of course, this would result in duplicate locations in some cases, but that's fine. As mentioned above, unverified locations can be used as location extensions so this will not affect ads serving. (You can think about unverified locations as phone book entries--anyone can create the same address entry in his/her accounts) Chris, please let me know if the above still doesn't address your question. :-) Cheers, Thanet, AdWords API Team On Wednesday, April 19, 2017 at 2:25:08 AM UTC+9, Chris Fehrmann wrote: > > Thanet, > > The reply you provided to BT's #2 question above is interesting.
