Circumventing Systems Suspension
The circumventing systems suspension is one of the most severe types of Google Ads suspensions. It’s applied when Google detects that an advertiser is trying to bypass its review systems or ad enforcement processes. Common triggers include cloaking content, redirecting users to unapproved destinations, using multiple accounts to avoid previous suspensions, or manipulating tracking to hide the true user journey. This policy is enforced strictly, and reinstatement is difficult without strong evidence of compliance.
Example: An advertiser redirects people who click their Google Ads to a different domain than was featured in the ads.
