import ‘package:flutter/material.dart’;

void main() {
WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();
MobileAds.instance.initialize();

runApp(MyApp());
}

Now after importing SDK implement your ad with a number of ad formats that fit your app’s UX.

Banner Ads: Rectangular ads that show up at the top or lower part of the gadget screen. Banner promotions stay on screen while clients are associating with the application, and can revive naturally after a specific timeframe. Assuming that you’re new to mobile ads, they’re an extraordinary spot to begin.
Interstitial Ads: Full-screen advertisements that cover the interface of an application until shut by the client. They’re best utilized at regular stops in the progression of an application’s execution, for example, in the middle of levels of a game or soon after wrapping up a responsibility.
Native Ads: Customizable ads that match the look and feel of your application. You conclude how and where they’re put, so the format is more predictable with your application’s plan
Rewarded Ads: Ads that reward clients for observing brief recordings and associating with playable promotions and reviews. Useful for adapting allowed to-play clients.
