How to Reverse a Google Ads Account Suspension
At ClickMend, we understand how frustrating it is when your Google Ads account gets suspended. A suspension can disrupt your marketing strategy and revenue. However, the right approach can help you recover your account and resume your campaigns. Follow this guide to reverse a Google Ads suspension effectively.
Understand Why Your Account Was Suspended
The first step to resolving a suspension is to determine the reason behind it. Google Ads provides detailed notices explaining the policy violations. Common reasons include:
- Policy violations like misrepresentation, circumventing systems, or promoting restricted content.
- Billing issues, such as payment problems or suspicious activity.
Tip: Carefully read the email or alert in your Google Ads dashboard.
Fix the Underlying Issues
Once you know the problem, address it immediately.
- If the issue is misleading content, ensure that your ads are transparent and accurate.
- For billing errors, check your payment methods and resolve any discrepancies.
- For circumventing systems, remove unauthorized or deceptive tactics.
Appeal the Suspension
Google allows advertisers to submit an appeal if they believe the suspension is incorrect or after fixing the issue.
Steps to Appeal:
- Log in to your Google Ads account.
- Navigate to the “Policy Manager” or check the suspension notice.
- Click “Appeal” and follow the instructions.
- Clearly explain the steps you took to resolve the violation.
Be Patient and Professional
Google reviews appeals thoroughly, and the process can take time. While waiting:
- Avoid creating a new account to bypass the suspension — it can worsen the situation.
- Use the Google Ads Help Center to stay informed about policy changes.
