As noted in the platform hierarchy, an advertiser in DoubleClick Search is linked to an advertiser in DoubleClick for Advertisers (DFA). If you do not have an existing advertiser in your DFA account, you will need to create one. Note that a single DFA advertiser can only be linked to one DS advertiser. Refer to this article for more information.
Follow the steps below to create a new advertiser in DFA and DoubleClick Search:
