How To Start Your GOMCHA Project

All Right Guys,

You should have all submitted your Pre-Campaigns to Google by now. They verified most of the groups today.  You should have received an email that says 

Your request has been successfully reviewed, please check your dashboard
for Competition Account details. Please note that it may take 1-2 business
days while the AdWords account is reviewed before your campaigns will begin
running. If it takes longer than that, please contact a local support
representative in your country:

When you get that email you need to go to your student dashboards.  You can access your student dashboard here:
https://www.google.com/appserve/onlinechallenge/dashboard/

In your dashboard you should see the following:

Open up a new tab and go to this page.

http://www.google.com/adwords

Click sign in and for your email you put your  Competition Account Login which will end with @gomteam.com.

You can get your password from the student dashboard shown above.

Once you enter that information you should see the following:

Simply click on "Create Your First Campaign" and you will be able to start your campaigns, create your groups, enter your keywords and create your ads.  Make sure your campaign is paused before you do anything! Do not start your campaign until you entire group has a chance to go over everything!

I need all team captains to first email their AdWords Customer ID.  I will put this into my MCC account and I will be monitoring your campaigns every day. You can not start your campaign and then walk away from it for three weeks.  Everyone needs to be monitoring their accounts daily! Email your GOMCHA status and Customer ID tonight!

I also need team captains to give all their group members access.  It only takes a minute and the instructions are here:  https://support.google.com/adwords/answer/1704346?hl=en&ref_topic=1713946

If you have any questions, email or leave a comment and I will get back to you right away.
