How is a brand defined in Google ads and how can you create a brand list?
A brand as a product or service that has at least one of the following:
👍 Logo
👍 Trademark
👍 Domain name (even if it redirects to the parent website)
👍 Product name which dominates the packaging or website
👍 Business name which may constitute a brand for small and medium sized businesses
Only brands that meet this criteria will be added to the Google Ads brand library. For brands that go by multiple versions of their own name or have parent and child brand names, such as Google and YouTube, ensure each alternative brand name is included in the brand list.
Request to add a brand to your brand list:
👍 In your Google Ads account, click the Tools icon Tools Icon.
👍 Click the Shared library drop down in the section menu.
👍 Click Brand lists.
👍 Select the brand list you want to edit.
👍 Click the pencil button Edit on the top left of the brand list table.
👍 Type the brand name that you would like to add to your brand list. If you can't find it, click Request a brand in the dropdown.
👍 Fill-out the appropriate fields with details of the brand you're requesting to add.
👍 If your brand represents both a company and a product or service, select "Product" or "Service" in the Category section.
👍 Click Submit. The newly requested brand will now appear as an entry in the "Brands" field with the "(under review)" tag.
👍 Click Save.
