Before AdGlobeX Media sends an MCM invitation, your Google Ad Manager account goes through a review. The review itself is carried out by ADX Approval (adxapproval.net), an independent service that checks whether an account is a good fit for a managed Ad Exchange partnership. This guide walks through each step.

Who the review is for

The review is meant for site owners and ad-ops teams who already have an active Google Ad Manager account with a payment history. If you only use AdSense today, you can still read on, but you will need an Ad Manager account first.

Step 1: Apply

Start at adglobexmedia.com/apply. You share your Ad Manager sign-in email and network code. ADX Approval says the form takes about two minutes, and the review is free with no obligation.

Step 2: Invite the reviewer

Next, you add the reviewer as a user in your Ad Manager network with the Administrator role. You add the user yourself, from your own account, in Admin > Access & authorization > Users. You never share a password.

Why Administrator? It is the role that lets the reviewer read account data and, if needed, turn on API access, which only an Administrator can do. During the review, API access is the only network setting that is switched on. Your ad settings, ad units, line items and pricing are not changed.

Step 3: The review

The reviewer looks at a full picture of your account:

  • Account history: how old the network is, previous partnerships and account standing.
  • Revenue and payments: monthly earnings and a consistent payment record.
  • Site quality and content: your sites, their content categories and policy fit.
  • Traffic quality: signs of invalid or low-quality traffic.

ADX Approval estimates the whole process at 2 to 7 business days, and you can follow each step on a status page.

Step 4: The decision

When the review is done, a team member contacts you. Our team has 5+ years of ad ops experience and has served 500+ publishers worldwide, so you'll be talking to people who have seen many accounts like yours. If your account qualifies, the next step is the MCM invitation from AdGlobeX Media, which you accept inside Ad Manager.

Staying in control

  • You can remove the reviewer from your Ad Manager users at any time.
  • No ad settings are changed without your permission.
  • The review does not commit you to anything.

Tips for a smooth review

  1. Make sure your payment profile in Ad Manager is complete and verified.
  2. Resolve open Policy center issues before applying, or be ready to explain them.
  3. Check that your traffic sources are organic or verified social.
  4. Use the exact sign-in email of your Ad Manager account in the form.

That is the whole process. When you are ready, apply for your free account review here; the form takes about two minutes.
