Dear AdMob Support Team,

I am writing to request assistance with triggering the crawling of my app on AdMob.

Here are the details of my situation:

  • Its my first time to link your app on account admob.
  • My app has been recently registered with a marketing URL on the AppStore.
  • The app, which includes a marketing URL, was distributed on July 19th.
  • The app-ads.txt file is accessible via the URL included in the marketing URL.
  • Currently, the app is not being crawled by AdMob.
Additional info: 

I found a link suggesting that if it is the first time linking an app to an AdMob account, I should create a post in this group. 

If there are any additional steps I need to follow or any specific information you require, please let me know. 

Thank you.

Hi,

Thank you for contacting the Mobile Ads SDK Support team.

Upon reviewing your AdMob account with the provided information, I found the below issues which must be fixed.

It was discovered that your app status is in "Requires review" state. This indicates that your app has not yet been subject to the review process. To have it reviewed, it is necessary to establish a link between your app and the supported app store. You can link a supported store to your app within the All Apps or App settings pages and subsequently submit it for review. For more information, you can visit  Requires review

The app-ads.txt file has not been configured yet. Although the app-ads.txt file is not absolutely necessary for ads to be displayed, it's still recommended to Set up an app-ads.txt file for your app. You need to make sure that your apps are crawlable by AdMob in order to properly set up your app-ads.txt. Kindly refer to crawled. It may take a few days for app-ads.txt changes to be reflected in AdMob. If your site doesn't make many ad requests it may take up to a month.

I presumed that you have adhered to the AdMob Policies and restrictions and Implementation Guidelines to avoid any issues.

I hope this information helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

This message is in relation to case "ref:!00D1U01174p.!5004Q02vE2Fq:ref" (ADR-00259096)

Dear AdMob Support Team,

I am reaching out to request assistance with triggering the crawling of my app on AdMob. Below are the details of my situation:

  1. It is my first time linking my app to an AdMob account.
  2. My app was recently registered on the App Store, with the marketing URL provided below.
  1. The app-ads.txt file is accessible via the URL included in the marketing URL.
  1. Currently, the app does not appear to be crawled by AdMob.

Here are the relevant details:

Additionally, my Android app has been approved, but the iOS app is still pending approval. The app-ads.txt file is valid as it has been approved for the Android version. The marketing URL was updated 2-3 weeks ago and is identical to the Android website URL.

I came across information suggesting that for first-time app links to an AdMob account, creating a post in this group might be necessary.

If there are additional steps I need to follow or specific information required, please let me know. I appreciate your assistance.

Thank you

​​Hi,

Please note that if you just listed your app on an app store, it may take 24 to 48 hours before you can link to it. In some cases, it may take up to one week.

I have tried to find your “Toca Outfits & Boca Room Ideas” iOS app in AdMob by searching with the provided app store url and I’m able to find your “Toca Outfits & Boca Room Ideas” iOS app to link to AdMob. Please attempt to add it now.
