5. Get it verified
Recently, Google has put in a review process so your app can be verified. We highly recommend you follow the process outlined here to get your AE app verified. It takes between 24-72 hours for Google to approve and verify your app.
The basic steps are:
- Verify your domain with the webmaster tools
- Complete the App Form
- You'll need to have a public Privacy Policy that you can link to
Good luck and let us know if you need any help!
