How to add Google AdWords certification to LinkedIn?
Adding Google AdWords certification to your LinkedIn is pretty much the same as adding other certifications. First, you need to log into your LinkedIn account, then click on ‘Me’ and go to the ‘View Profile section.
If you’ve already added some certifications to your LinkedIn, scroll your profile to reach the ‘Licenses & Certifications’ section.
Click on ‘+’ to see a box that asks about the certification’s features like name and date.
Just type Google AdWords specifications in the required boxes. If you’re not sure about the exact information, just log into your skill shop account, click on your profile icon on the right corner, then click on “My Profile” and then you can see your certifications.
If your certification doesn’t have an expiration date, check the option that says “This credential doesn’t expire”, but if it has an issue and expiration date, which Google AdWords usually have, uncheck it.
You can click and open the certification in your skill shop account for the credential ID.
You will see a completion ID next to the certificate’s expiration date; just copy the number into the so-called box on LinkedIn.
For the credential URL, you need to copy the address of your certification in the box. Click and save it and add it to the licenses and certifications section.

What if our certification is PDF?
Doing this is really easy. If you’ve earned a certification and it’s not online, the best way to upload it is by using Google Drive.
Just log into your google drive and upload your certificate there. You can upload it by selecting ‘+ new’ and clicking on the file upload.
Then select your certificate in the opened box and upload it. You can also just drag and drop it.
Now that you have uploaded the certification right-click on it and select “get link”. Before you copy the provided link click on the section below the box and select anyone with the link.

LinkedIn- the route to having a successful job
