Google Ads Verification Email Blocker — 2025-12-12

Overview

As of the weekly ops call on 2025-12-12, Flynn Audio's Google Ads account setup is blocked because a required verification email from Gilbert has not been received. The account cannot be activated until this verification step is completed.

Status

Blocked — awaiting verification email from Gilbert.

Background

Google Ads requires a verification step during account setup. The verification email was sent to (or expected from) Gilbert, the Flynn Audio contact, but has not been received or acted upon. The root cause is unclear — it may be a deliverability issue, Gilbert overlooking it, or it sitting in a spam/junk folder.

Escalation Plan

Daily follow-up: Karly to contact Gilbert every day for 2–3 days, pressing him to locate and act on the verification email.
Fallback: If Gilbert does not respond or the email cannot be recovered within that window, create a new Google Ads account from scratch rather than continuing to wait.

"I think what we need to do is just lean on Gilbert pretty hard… just keep sending stuff. Let that go for two or three days, and if that doesn't work, we just create a new account." — Mark Hope
