Public Figure Impersonation Violation
Last Updated on: October 16, 2025
A public figure impersonation violation is triggered when your Google Ads or landing pages falsely claim endorsement from, or pretend to be associated with, celebrities, politicians, or other well-known individuals without authorization. This includes using their names, images, or likeness to mislead users about product endorsements or business relationships. Violations can lead to ad disapproval and Google Ads account suspension.
Example: A supplement ad falsely claims a celebrity endorses their product and uses their photo without permission, triggering a public figure impersonation violation
