Google Ads Diagnosis
Your campaigns have stopped and your business may be losing leads, calls and revenue every day. Submitting repeated appeals without understanding the actual cause can make the situation harder to fix — a suspension needs systematic diagnosis first.
Short Answer
Don't keep appealing without fixing the underlying problem. Identify the exact policy cited, remediate genuinely, document the changes, then submit one structured appeal. Google controls all suspension and reinstatement decisions — no agency can guarantee reinstatement.
The suspension message should be treated as the starting point of an investigation — not the complete diagnosis.
Likely Causes
Policy Area
Where to check: Cloaking, re-creating accounts after suspension, or other activity read as bypassing enforcement.
Policy Area
Where to check: Concerns about business transparency, claims made, pricing, or identity consistency.
Policy Area
Where to check: Billing methods, account ownership, or payment activity Google flags as high-risk.
Policy Area
Where to check: Hacked pages, malicious redirects, or injected scripts detected on the destination site.
Policy Area
Where to check: Missing or misleading information about identity, business, products or affiliations.
Read This First
One of the most common mistakes advertisers make: appeal immediately, appeal again, open a new account, change the payment method, relaunch the same campaigns. These actions can make account recovery more complicated, not less. Creating another account to bypass a suspension can create additional enforcement problems — account recovery should begin with diagnosis, not duplication.
Immediate Actions
What Not to Do
Evidence
Recovery Process
Read the suspension notice and admin email carefully. Record the exact policy named.
Understand what Google prohibits and what likely triggered enforcement.
Campaigns, ads, keywords, final URLs, tracking templates, billing, users, change history.
Business identity, policies, pricing transparency, claims, redirects, malware, tracking scripts.
Don't appeal until the identified problems are actually corrected.
Keep a clear record of what was found, and what was changed to fix it.
Explain the issue, the investigation, and the corrective action — evidence, not emotion.

If You're Stuck
A structured suspension review covers five areas: suspension diagnosis (the stated policy violation and potential underlying triggers), a full account audit (campaigns, ads, destinations, billing configuration, users and account history), a website compliance review (transparency, policies, claims, contact info, redirects, security and destination experience), a prioritised remediation plan, and appeal preparation guidance — help structuring the evidence a clear, credible appeal needs. Important: Google controls all suspension and reinstatement decisions. No legitimate agency or consultant can guarantee account reinstatement.
