Provide login details to your websites so that the content crawler can deliver ads to your pages #contentmapping #crawleraccess
To use web content behind a login for content mapping in your apps, you need to provide login details for the corresponding websites. This will give the content crawler access to visit your pages and deliver ads. You also need to verify that these websites are yours in Search Console.
