Admob & Facebook

Admob

Here's how to set up your AdMob account and create an Ad Unit:

Step 1: Sign Up for AdMob

1. Go to the AdMob website: Navigate to admob.google.com and click on Get Started.

2. Sign in with your Google account: Use your existing Google account or create a new one.

3. Complete the registration: Fill in your personal information, such as your country, time zone, and payment details, so you can receive payments for ad revenue.

4. Accept the terms: Read and accept the AdMob program policies and terms of service.

Step 2: Create an AdMob App

1. Create a new app in AdMob: Once you have completed the account setup, you'll need to create an app in AdMob.

   • On the Apps page, click Add App.

   • Choose whether your app is already published on the Google Play Store/App Store or if it’s still under development.

   • Enter the app name, choose the platform (Android or iOS), and click Add.

2. Get your App ID: After creating your app, you’ll be given an App ID. Copy this because you'll need it later when integrating AdMob into your app's code.

Step 3: Create Ad Units

Ad units are the ad placements within your app (e.g., banner, interstitial, or rewarded ads).

1. Select the app: From the AdMob dashboard, click on the app you just created.

2. Add Ad Unit:

   • In the app dashboard, click on Ad units and then click Create Ad Unit.

   • Choose the type of ad you want to create:

     • Banner Ad: Small rectangular ads at the top or bottom of the screen.

     • Interstitial Ad: Full-screen ads that cover the app's interface.

     • Rewarded Ad: Ads that provide users with in-app rewards after viewing.

     • Native Ad: Ads that match the look and feel of your app.

3. Configure your Ad Unit:

   • Give the ad unit a name (something descriptive for easy identification).

   • Set up any additional ad unit options, such as refresh rates (for banners) or reward values (for rewarded ads).

4. Save and get Ad Unit ID: Once the ad unit is created, you’ll be provided with an Ad Unit ID. Copy it for later use when you implement it in your Flutter code.

   • Interstitial Ad: A full-screen ad that appears at natural breaks or transitions.

   • Rewarded Video Ad: Ads that reward users for watching them, often with in-app rewards.

   • Native Ad: Ads that match the look and feel of your app.

   Choose the format you want and click Next.

3. Name and Configure the Ad Unit:

   • Give the placement a descriptive name (e.g., "Banner_Ad_Home_Screen").

   • Configure any additional options, such as frequency capping and bidding strategies.

   • Click Save to create the ad unit.

4. Get the Placement ID:

   • After creating the ad unit, you’ll be provided with a Placement ID.

   • Copy this Placement ID as you’ll need it when integrating Facebook Audience Network into your app code.
