Recovering from a Google Ads policy violation depends on the severity of the violation and whether your account is suspended or just has certain ads disapproved. Here's a general guide:
Identify the violation:
- Check your Google Ads account for notifications about policy violations. They will specify the affected ads/campaigns and the violated policy.
- Read the relevant Google Ads policy page to understand the specifics of the violation.
Take corrective action:
-
Disapproved ads: Edit or remove the disapproved ads to comply with the policy. You can appeal individual ad disapprovals if you believe it's a mistake.
-
Suspended account: The process is more complex. Consider these options:
- Fix the violations: Address all flagged policy issues within your entire account. This may involve removing non-compliant campaigns/ads, updating website content, or changing targeting settings.
- Appeal the suspension: If you believe the suspension is a mistake or due to extenuating circumstances, submit an appeal through your Google Ads account. Be clear, concise, and provide evidence to support your case.
Important points:
- Be honest and transparent in your communications with Google.
- Don't try to circumvent policies, as it can lead to permanent account suspension.
- The review process can take time, so be patient and wait for Google's response.
