How to Fix Google Ad Suspension (Simple Guide for Beginners)

Having your Google Ads account suspended can feel overwhelming — especially when your business depends on ads for leads and sales. The good news is that most suspensions can be fixed once you understand the problem and take the right steps.

Think of it like this: If a store finds a product with missing or unclear information, they temporarily remove it from the shelf. Google does the same when something on your website or ads doesn’t match their policies.

1. Find Out Why Your Account Was Suspended

Google provides a reason for every suspension. Common causes include:

  • Misleading or unclear website content
  • Unacceptable business practices
  • Website not meeting Google quality standards
  • Billing or suspicious payment activity
  • Repeated policy violations

2. Fix Issues on Your Website

Google checks your entire website. Make sure:

  • Your About, Contact, Terms & Privacy pages are visible.
  • Your product/service descriptions are clear and accurate.
  • There are no exaggerated claims like “Guaranteed results”.
  • Your site loads fast and works on mobile.
Tip: A website that looks unclear or incomplete is a major suspension trigger.

3. Fix Issues Inside Google Ads

  • Check ad copy for misleading claims.
  • Remove restricted or unrelated keywords.
  • Make sure landing page URLs match your ad promise.

4. Request a Review

  • Open Google Ads → Account Issues
  • Click Request Review

Google usually responds within 3–5 business days.

Warning: Don’t send repeated review requests without fixing the issue.

5. Prevent Future Suspensions

  • Keep your site updated and transparent.
  • Follow Google’s advertising policies.
  • Avoid unrealistic promises in ads.
  • Use correct billing details.

Final Thoughts

A Google Ads suspension isn’t permanent in most cases. With the right fixes and a proper review request, your account can usually be reinstated successfully.
