It’s Monday morning. You open your inbox to find a short, cold message from Google Ads: Your account has been suspended.
No details. No warning. Just a single line linking to a vague policy page.
Your ads are paused. Leads have stopped. Every minute your account is down, you’re losing money. You try contacting Google support, only to get generic responses that do nothing to fix the problem.
Meanwhile, your competitors are still running ads and stealing the market share you fought tooth and nail to earn.
This isn’t just an inconvenience. For many businesses, a suspension can cost thousands of dollars in lost revenue before the problem is even identified. Worse, some suspensions are permanent.
The reality: Google Ads compliance is not a suggestion. It’s a requirement. And if you think you can afford to “figure it out as you go,” think again.
The Harsh Reality of Google Ads Compliance
Google’s policies aren’t just rules on paper. They’re enforced by algorithms, human reviewers, and evolving standards that change without notice. In the last few years, enforcement has become far more aggressive.
Common reasons for suspension include:
- Circumventing systems (even unintentionally)
- Misrepresentation of products or services
- Unclear or incomplete business information
- Violations hidden deep in landing page copy or site structure
The challenge is that compliance isn’t static. The goal posts are constantly moving.
What was acceptable six months ago might be a violation today. Many business owners set up their campaigns once, assume they’re in the clear, and don’t realize the rules have shifted until the suspension notice arrives.
Trying to keep up while running your business is almost impossible. And the consequences of falling behind are severe.
The Red Flags of Bad Help
The only thing worse than handling compliance yourself is hiring the wrong help. There’s no shortage of people claiming to be “Google Ads experts,” but the wrong partner can do more harm than good.
Some warning signs to watch for:
- Too-good-to-be-true promises
If someone says they can guarantee fast approval for pennies on the dollar, that’s a red flag. Many so-called experts cut corners, use black-hat tactics, or exploit temporary loopholes. - Cheap Freelancers
Some freelancers might take your account hostage, or do something black hat that will actually get you in more trouble with Google. - Shady workarounds
Techniques like cloaking, misleading landing pages, or hiding policy violations from reviewers can trigger more than a suspension. They can lead to an account-wide ban and put linked accounts at risk. - No transparency
If an agency can’t explain exactly what they’re doing to keep you compliant, that’s a problem. Real experts don’t hide their process.
We’ve seen the aftermath of these shortcuts. Accounts banned forever. Businesses forced to start from scratch with new domains, ad accounts, and even business registrations. The savings from a cheap “expert” disappear the moment your campaigns go dark.
