Is Your Google AdWords Account Suspended? Learn How To Fix It

If you have used Google AdWords, now called Google Ads, and are happy with the results, having your account suspended can be costly and frustrating. The suspension notification is usually vague, which means you may not be aware of the action that caused your suspension, and your appeal may not be successful.

DoNotPay will walk you through all the essential Google policy details and the appeal process to help you resolve the issues if you get your Google AdWords account suspended.

What Happens When You Get Your Google AdWords Account Suspended

When your advertiser account is suspended, you will receive an email and in-account alert. Here is what you should know about what happens when your account is suspended:

• You can’t access your suspended account, including any related reports
• Google stops running your ads
• Other accounts linked to the suspended account will most likely be suspended as well
• Merchant Center accounts associated with the account will be suspended
• Any new accounts you create may also be suspended

Reasons for Google AdWords Accounts Suspension

Google maintains strict user policies to create positive experiences for its users and partners. If it detects any actions that violate the guidelines, Google will suspend the responsible advertiser account.

Google organizes violations that can lead to a suspension into the following categories:

1. Egregious violations—policy violations that can get an account suspended instantly and without previous warnings
2. Other policy violations—violations for which the account user receives a warning seven days before suspension with details of the violation. The warning also includes instructions on what the user should do to comply with Google policies
3. Non-policy violations

Egregious Violations

These are the most serious violations of Google policies. Here is a summary of the action that result in immediate suspensions:

Non-Policy Violations

The common non-policy reasons that can lead to receiving a “Google Ads account suspended” alert include:

• Violation of Google’s age requirements—when evaluating a user's age, Google uses the age entered when creating the Google account linked to your ad account
• Failure to obey the Google Ad Grants policy
• Unauthorized access to your Google Ads account
• Billing and payment issues, such as requesting a chargeback on valid Google transactions or selling promotional codes

How To Have Your AdWords Suspended Account Reinstated

Google allows users to resolve their suspension issues in the following ways:

• Using the troubleshooter in case of non-policy violations
• Submitting appeals

Resolve Non-Policy Account Suspensions

To fix an account suspended due to non-policy violations, you need to use the Google account troubleshooter. All you need to do is visit the troubleshooter tool page, and it will automatically detect your account, examine the suspension, and advise on the next steps required to fix your suspended account.

Appeal Suspensions Due to Policy Violations

For policy violations, users are alerted that they won’t be permitted to advertise with Google Ads again. Still, they are allowed to appeal the suspension if they believe they didn’t violate the policy. For the suspension to be lifted, the user must provide a clear and correct explanation.

To submit your appeal, follow these steps:

1. Open the Appeal form page
2. Enter the required information
3. Click on Submit

Google will review your appeal and send you an email with the results when the request is processed. If your appeal is denied, you are allowed to re-appeal using the same process.
