How do I change my Google Ads billing country?

SeoGuru

Unfortunately, Google Ads does not allow you to directly change your billing country once your account is created. The billing country is tied to the currency and payment methods associated with your account, and changing it requires creating a new Google Ads account.

Here's what you can do if you need to change your billing country:

1. Create a New Google Ads Account
To change your billing country in Google Ads, you need to create a new account with the desired country and currency:

Sign out of your current Google Ads account.

Create a new Google Ads account by going to ads.google.com and clicking on Start Now.

During the account setup process, you'll be prompted to select a billing country. Make sure to select the country you want to change to.

Choose the appropriate currency for the new country (this is automatically selected based on the billing country you choose).

Complete the rest of the account setup process, including entering billing details and selecting your payment method.

Start running campaigns on the new account.

2. Considerations When Creating a New Account
Ad history and campaigns: Your old account's ad campaigns and performance data will not transfer to the new account. You'll need to set up new campaigns in the new account.

Payment methods: Ensure that your new account uses payment methods compatible with the new billing country.

Google Ads Support: If you're unsure whether creating a new account is the best option or have concerns about your current setup, you can contact Google Ads support for personalized assistance.

3. Other Solutions (Potential Workarounds)
If you need to change the country for specific reasons (e.g., business relocation, new region for targeting), you can also:

Use a separate account for different countries: If you are operating in multiple countries, you can set up separate accounts for each country with the appropriate billing and payment details.

Request assistance: In rare cases, if there's a unique business situation (e.g., moving to a country with different tax regulations), Google Ads support may be able to guide you through a potential workaround, although this is not common.

Important Notes:
Currency cannot be changed: Once the currency is set for an account, it cannot be changed, so creating a new account is the only way to switch currencies as well as the billing country.

Country-based restrictions: Some countries may have different Google Ads policies, available payment methods, and legal or tax regulations, so be sure to familiarize yourself with the terms and conditions for the new country.
