How to test similar audiences in test account?

[Paid Media]

I have a AdWords Manager account which is a Test Account. Account status is Closed

I got to know from AdWords community that api-test-accounts will never be activated and will always be closed.

That means its not possible to test similar audience functionality in test account because similar audience generation will take 24-48 hours, and the seed audience will go to closed status within few hours. And when seed audience is in closed status then AdWords will not be able to use this seed audience to generate similar audience.

Similarly once audience goes into closed status then it can't be associated with AdGroups that means we can't test AdGroup to audience association also.

Please confirm if these understandings are correct or not? and if its correct then how can we test similar audiences and AdGroup associations ?

Hi,

Thank you for reaching out. Your understanding is correct. Since the test accounts do not serve ads, they could not be used to test the audiences. You could only perform the mentioned tasks in the production accounts.

Thanks and regards,
