Notes
  • If your account is inactive or paused, the tool will show you a preview of the first page of search results but won't show any diagnostic information. This is because ads in paused or inactive accounts aren't eligible to be served.
  • Currently, the Ad preview and diagnostics tool does not support dynamic search ads.
