How to Submit a Website to Google AdSense After Your Website Is Complete
Once your website is completely ready, the next step is to submit it to Google AdSense. This part is simple, but entering the wrong website address, skipping verification, or requesting a review before completing the setup can create unnecessary problems.
If you are submitting a website to AdSense for the first time, follow the steps below in the same order. This guide focuses specifically on how to submit an already completed website to Google AdSense.
Step 1: Sign In to Google AdSense
First, sign in to your Google AdSense account using the Google account that you want to use for your website monetization.
After signing in, you will see your AdSense dashboard. Do not submit your website from a random Google page or from an advertisement. Use the Sites section inside your AdSense account.
Step 2: Open the Sites Section
From the AdSense dashboard, open the Sites section. This section is used to add and manage websites that you want to use with AdSense.
Look for the option such as + New site or Add site. The exact appearance of the AdSense interface can change over time, but the purpose of the option remains the same.
Step 3: Enter Your Website Address Correctly
When AdSense asks for your website, enter the domain of the website that you want to submit.
For example, if your website is:
https://www.example.com/
make sure you are submitting the correct website and domain. Do not accidentally enter the URL of a particular article, image, category, search page, or another website.
Important: Before clicking the next button, carefully check the spelling of your domain. A small typing mistake can cause the wrong website to be added.
Step 4: Add the Website to AdSense
After entering the correct website address, click Save, Add site, or the corresponding button displayed in your AdSense account.
Your website will now appear in the Sites section. At this stage, AdSense may show that the site requires additional setup or verification.
Step 5: Connect Your Website to AdSense
AdSense needs a way to confirm that you control the website. Follow the connection instructions shown inside your AdSense account.
Depending on your website platform and AdSense setup, Google may provide an AdSense code or another supported verification method.
If AdSense gives you a code to place on your website, copy the code exactly as provided. Do not change characters, remove parts of the code, or replace it with a code copied from another website.
Step 6: Add the AdSense Code If Required
If you are instructed to add AdSense code manually, place it exactly where Google tells you to place it.
For a normal HTML website, AdSense may instruct you to add the code inside the <head> section of your website.
After adding the code, save your changes and make sure the updated website is actually published online.
Do not submit an unpublished or locally saved version of your website. Google needs to be able to access the live website during the review process.
Step 7: Verify the Website
Return to your AdSense account after completing the required website connection steps.
Use the Verify option when it is available. AdSense will check whether the required setup has been completed correctly.
If verification is unsuccessful, do not immediately request another review. First check whether:
- The correct website was added.
- The AdSense code was copied completely.
- The code was placed in the correct location.
- Your changes were saved and published.
- Your website is publicly accessible.
- You are checking the same website that you added to AdSense.
Step 8: Check the Site Status in AdSense
After connecting your website, look at its status in the Sites section.
Read the message shown by AdSense carefully. Do not assume that adding a website automatically means that it has been submitted for a review.
Complete every setup step that AdSense asks you to complete before moving to the review stage.
Step 9: Request a Review
When your website connection is complete and AdSense shows that you can submit the site for review, select Request review.
This is the important final submission step. By requesting a review, you are asking Google to check whether your website is eligible to show AdSense ads.
Before clicking the button, check the website address one more time and make sure you are submitting the correct site.
Step 10: Wait for Google's Review
After requesting a review, Google will review your website. The review does not always finish immediately. Depending on the situation, it can take several days and, in some cases, longer.
You can monitor the status from the Sites section of your AdSense account.
There is no need to repeatedly submit the same website while a review is already in progress. Wait for the result shown in your AdSense account.
What If the Review Is Not Approved?
If Google does not approve your website, read the message provided in your AdSense account carefully. It should help you understand what needs attention.
Fix the problems mentioned by Google before requesting another review. Do not simply submit the same website repeatedly without making the necessary improvements.
Final Checklist Before Clicking “Request Review”
Use this checklist immediately before submitting your website:
- ✓ I am signed in to the correct Google AdSense account.
- ✓ I entered the correct website domain.
- ✓ The website is live and publicly accessible.
- ✓ The website connection/verification steps are complete.
- ✓ The required AdSense code has been added correctly, if AdSense provided one.
- ✓ My changes have been saved and published.
- ✓ Important pages and links are working.
- ✓ My website follows Google AdSense and Publisher Policies.
- ✓ I checked the site status inside the AdSense Sites section.
- ✓ I am clicking Request review for the correct website.
Important Mistakes to Avoid
When submitting a website to AdSense, avoid these common mistakes:
- Entering an article URL instead of the website domain: Submit the website itself, not an individual post URL.
- Entering the wrong domain: Check every character before saving the site.
- Forgetting to publish the AdSense code: Saving code in an editor is not enough if the live website does not contain it.
- Requesting review too early: Complete the setup and verification instructions shown in AdSense first.
- Submitting an inaccessible website: Google must be able to access the live website for review.
- Repeatedly requesting reviews: If a site is not approved, first understand and fix the reported issue.
Conclusion
Submitting a completed website to Google AdSense is mainly a matter of following the correct sequence: sign in to AdSense → open Sites → add the correct website → complete the connection or verification → check the site status → request a review → wait for Google's decision.
The most important thing is not to rush through the submission. Carefully check your domain, complete the required verification, make sure the live website is accessible, and only then click Request review.
AdSense approval is not guaranteed simply because a website has been submitted. Google makes the final decision after reviewing the website according to its current eligibility requirements and policies.
Tip: The AdSense interface and requirements can change. If a button or setup option looks different in your account, follow the instructions currently displayed by Google rather than relying on an older screenshot or tutorial.
