Ads Transparency. In addition to the report, Google is also launching a new Ads Transparency Center for users around the world.
The Ad Transparency Center is an easily accessible repository that contains all the ads presented by verified advertisers. It’s a platform that was created “with convenience in mind,” ensuring advertisers have access to information about Google ads.
Through the Ad Transparency Center, you’ll have insight into the following:
- The ads that a particular advertiser has displayed.
- The ads that were shown in a specific region.
- The most recent date an ad was shown, as well as its format.
Access the Ad Transparency Center. Advertisers can gain access to the Ads Transparency Center in two ways: either by directly visiting the center or by navigating to “My Ad Center” through the three-dot menu that appears beside the ads you come across.
Within “My Ad Center,” you will find a list of options that include details on whether the advertiser is a verified business. You can also customize your ad experience by selecting options such as liking, blocking, or reporting an ad if you suspect that it violates any Google policies. If you want to further personalize your ad viewing experience by favoring certain brands and excluding others, you can directly visit “My Ad Center.”
