FAQ
Do I need a Google Ads account to run Google or YouTube ads in Kyrios?

Why should I create an account without a campaign?
Creating the account without a campaign prevents Google from auto-launching ads and ensures proper setup for Kyrios.
Can I add billing later?
Billing is required before ads can run, but you can add or update payment methods after account creation.
Is creating a Google Ads account free?
Yes. Creating a Google Ads account is free. You are only charged when ads are running.
