description: Introduction to React Native Google Mobile Ads and the ad formats it supports.
---

The AdMob module allows you to display adverts to your users. Adverts are served through Google AdMob or
Google Ad Manager, so a [Google AdMob](https://apps.admob.com) or
[Google Ad Manager](https://admanager.google.com) account is required.

Built and maintained by [Invertase](https://invertase.io/?utm_source=docs&utm_medium=getting-started&utm_campaign=react-native-google-mobile-ads).

  should use these docs and the bundled `AGENTS.md` guide to integrate and troubleshoot this
  library.
