What Triggers BOV on google ads?

[marketingscene888]

Does anyone know what triggers BOV? It seems to happen more when when I go through agency or credit line accounts vs. personal.

BOV is usually triggered by payment risk signals, not campaign performance. It’s more common on agency or credit line accounts because Google applies stricter risk checks there.

Agent accounts is not as good as people think. Personal accounts are much better

Yeah it's quite common. Agency accounts are checked more often than normal accounts as the rules are stricter

What can possible be the difference ?

main triggers are search ads , google is very sensitive to search ads especially when it comes to grey niches and very competitive niches.
many agency profiles are flagged due to shady things they run on profiles.
keep it clean and warm it up for at least a week.

You’ll get flagged by Facebook if your payment sources or billing histories that don’t match. Happens a lot to bought accounts.

The request for BOV verification often depends on the advertised niche.

BOV (Billing Outstanding Verification) in Google Ads gets triggered when something in your payment setup or account activity looks unusual or risky to their automated systems. The main reason it hits agency or credit line accounts more is that they often use shared payment profiles across clients, switch billing frequently, or use pre-paid methods—all of which raise more red flags than a stable, long-term personal account with consistent spending. A sudden spending spike or account history changes can also set it off.

I was running e-comm ads on all WH.

It has to do with the billing method you use trigger the security measure. It can be because the location where you try to paid from is not matching the history of the payment. You will be better to use a personal account to use same method for payment and be consistent with location

I’m curious—what could be the difference here?
