If you spend over $5,000 per month on Google Ads, this change is likely to apply to you sooner. Even though Google hasn\u2019t set a minimum spend threshold for this change, larger accounts are the primary targets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your account is affected, you must switch your payment method and failure to do so could lead to your ads being paused, which nobody wants. This is especially important for businesses that rely heavily on consistent ad performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For our clients, we\u2019ll be reaching out to ensure you\u2019re set up correctly.
