A new Google ad transparency portal will enable consumers to search for certified advertisers and their campaigns across Search, Display, and YouTube.
This new transparency center, available via this URL and the My Ad Center page, lets you search for brand advertising, where they were shown when they ran a campaign, and the format. If advertising includes hazardous items or objectionable information, users can like, block, or report them to Google. Today, the Center begins rolling out to all users.
Last year, Google unveiled the My Ad Center site, which allows users to view ad themes, brands, and recent advertisements from Search, YouTube, and Discover. Users can remove subjects or companies or disable tailored advertisements. Remember that advertising will still appear. It won’t be personalized.
