Hello everyone ,

hope everyone is doing alright,
sharing my experience these days with gooogle ads being sh*t crazy , with all the business verification, circumventing, business operations verification, unacceptable business and what not. its really hard to survive with google ads these days.
been with google ads from long time, wasnt like this before. maybe its just the bad phase. what do you think guys ? agency accounts use to last more than a month, now not even a day or two. out of tricks.
your comments, suggestions ? my dm's are open as well.
 
Hey,

nowadays its getting harder and harder overall, but keep in mind Google has these "ban waves" every now and then where almost everyone gets suspended for whatever reason, I call it the "purge" period. If you can, you can wait out couple weeks until situation gets better, on the other hand, this period is best for learning in my opinion, as everything needs to be set up almost perfectly in order to run and if you can run gray hat/blackhat ads which I think you do based on your problems, you will be able to run them much easier when times are better again.
 
BH niches are just getting moderated more strictly, I’ve encountered it myself as well.
 
Google as a company, can suck the biggest money from the big brands / big companies.
So, since around 1 or perhaps 2 years, Google deliberately has it's organic search algorithms in such a way that even the big brands / big companies websites keeps dancing wildly in the search results pages, forcing even the big brands / big companies to go for paid ads (Google Ads).
So, since around 1 or perhaps 2 years, Google Ad's major chunk of revenue has been coming from these big brands / big companies, which have big ad budgets. Therefore, since around 1 or perhaps 2 years, Google / Google Ads no longer gives a fuck for chicken change advertisers. In other words even if you spend US$100,000 per month in Google Ads, Google does not give a fuck and Google does not need you, so Google fucks around with Google Ads algorithms (suspended accounts, etc) to drive away chickens. Google is now very happy with having the big brands / big companies, with big ad budgets, advertising in Google Ads.
 
Good luck to you too my friend, google is becoming really strict now, especially in the BH niche, but it's a good opportunity to learn, hopefully we can get over this wave soon, cheers!
 
depends on how you appeal because we have accounts that gets reactivate so fast
 
Suggestions
  • Have clean, bulletproof business assets: verified domains, real business addresses, full policy complianc
  • Use diversified traffic sources: don’t rely only on Google (test Meta, TikTok, native, etc.
  • If running gray-hat offers or high-risk verticals, consider cloaking-free prelanders, or whitelisted third-party platforms
 
Yes its tough with Google, FB is often the better alternative for BH/GH businesses due to heavy restrictions from Gooogle. You can pull off google BH as well, but it will cost a lot to get multiple aged accounts
 
It's not getting out of hand. They're closing down loopholes which is what any business would do.

"Totally feel your frustration! Google Ads has indeed become a minefield lately with all the verifications, policy crackdowns, and sudden suspensions. Many longtime advertisers (including agencies) are struggling with the same issues—accounts getting flagged or banned faster than ever
 
Man, I feel you on this one. Google Ads has been a mess lately—seems like every time you blink, there’s a new verification step or a policy change. It’s a lot harder to keep accounts running now, even if you’ve been doing this for years.
Agency accounts used to be pretty solid, but now it’s like they’re just waiting to pull the plug. Honestly, I think it’s the over-regulation and automated systems that are killing the game. No one’s actually reviewing things properly, it’s all robots flagging accounts for random stuff.
Have you tried diversifying to other platforms like Facebook Ads or TikTok? They’re not perfect, but they’re a bit more forgiving right now. Could be worth testing out while things settle with Google.
Anyone else had luck with any other ad networks lately?

Hello!

I totally feel your frustration - Google Ads has become an absolute nightmare lately with all the verifications, suspensions, and policy changes. It’s not just you, a lot of advertisers are struggling with:

Business Operations Verification
Circumventing Systems bans
Unacceptable Business Practices suspensions


Why is this happening?
Google is cracking down hard on "gray-hat" niches: gambling, crypto, nutra...

Agency accounts (especially from resellers) are getting burned within hours now.
Manual reviews are stricter.
Cloaking is dead (for most). Google’s AI detects it faster than ever.

Is This Just a Bad Phase?
Honestly, it’s the new normal. Google is making it harder for "risky" advertisers. Some say it’ll ease up, I hope so.

What Can You Do?
✅ Try different verticals
✅ Use aged accounts with clean history
✅ Verify EVERYTHING: business, domains, billing...
 
yeah man i feel that. google ads is wild now, like no matter how clean u play they just kill accounts for fun. even old agency accs don’t last. i've tried warming slow, switching creatives, still hit or miss. feels like surviving on luck lately. hoping it chills soon.

I can provide you with business operation verification
 
I have been running google ads for 7 years, this time I am also tired of google's new policies. It seems that google is aiming at advertising businesses more than individuals.
 
I understand your frustration! Google Ads has become tricky with increased verifications and policy crackdowns, causing many advertisers and agencies to face rapid account flags or bans.
 
I have the same problem as you. Not only in the gray or black niche but also in clean products.
 
Recently, I just put up a website selling flowers to warm up my account, but it was suspended several times in a row.
 
Google Ads has gotten insanely tough lately with all the verifications and sudden bans; it’s like walking on eggshells now, hoping this phase passes soon.
