Google OAuth setup for access to the advertising account
Project: WordPress plugin, integration with Google Ads API
Goal: set up OAuth authorization to access the user's advertising account via Google, verify existing code, and if necessary, refine Google Console settings and the plugin itself.
Task Description:
Check the current plugin code (several files) that implements Google OAuth.
Configure Google Cloud Console (OAuth 2.0 credentials, scopes, consent screen) to pass moderation and obtain production access.
Verify redirects and test authorization on a local server (localhost) — make adjustments if necessary.
Ensure that after OAuth authorization, all necessary tokens and permissions are obtained to access Google Ads accounts via API.
Provide a brief instruction for transferring settings to production.
Requirements for the freelancer:

✅ understanding of Google Ads account management
✅ experience with WordPress plugins (PHP)
✅ ability to test integrations on a local server
What I provide:

Client's review of cooperation with freelancer
Google OAuth setup for access to the advertising accountThe start of the work was promising, the contractor quickly got to work and was in touch. The verification process is not quick, at first she responded well, added data, etc. After that, she just disappeared. When I independently went to check how the verification application was filled out, it became clear why we have not been able to pass it for the third month - it was filled out haphazardly, there is complete chaos in the settings. We will either have to look for another contractor or figure it out ourselves. A lot of time and nerves have been wasted.
