Site kit not automatically placing ads

Hello and thanks for your question I will be happy to help.

The screenshot you have provided shows that you have selected the option for Site Kit to place an AdSense code snippet on your site. I can see from your source code that it has been placed.

While we are limited to addressing Site Kit plugin related issues I have noticed some other ad unit code placed that is not Site Kit related and contains console errors.

This may be unrelated but can I please ask if you have any third party plugins installed on your site that have any ads functionality? If yes, could you temporarily deactivate these and check your site to see if auto ads are then placed.

Let me know how this goes and if you have any further questions.

Hello Adam,
thanks for your fast reply.

I have no other plugins with ads functionality installed, but I added manually some ads code snippets from google adsense.
Which ad unit code do you mean in detail so I can check?

No problem at all. I just want to check that Auto ads are working as expected. If there are multiple ads existing on your site already(manually placed ads) then Auto ads logic may determine there are no additional ad positions to insert more ads.

Are there any pages on your website that don’t have manually inserted ads?

Could you also check that you have Auto ads enabled at AdSense level. This can be checked in the overview section in your AdSense account. See here.

The auto-ads are enabled on adsense level.
I have no page without manually inserted ads, because they are inserted in header and footer.
So, if there are manually inserted ads, automatic ads can not be placed?

Thanks for the information. I can currently see quite a few ads on your site in this recording here. If they are all manually inserted single ad units (and not Auto ads) then this is most likely the cause of no Auto ads appearing. Single ad units do take precedence over Auto ads.

You could try removing the manually added snippets from your header/footer temporarily to see if the auto ads then show.

As I can see that Site Kit has placed it’s AdSense snippet then I would suggest The AdSense Help Centre should be able to answer any further AdSense specific queries you have.

Thank you for your investigations.
Right now, I only want the automatic ads only for mobile.
So, I added display: none to all manually placed ads.
But there are still no automatic ads placed. Is this also AdSense specific and I should contact the AdSense help centre?

You are welcome. In this case I would advise that you contact the AdSense team at the help centre. They will be able to assist your further on your issue. If you have any Site Kit specific issues or queries in the future do please get in touch and we will be happy to help. Good luck with your website moving forward.
