Changing name on Google Ads account = suspension?

humbly_learning · May 30, 2022

Hi everyone,

I am curious, have you guys had any experience with changing the name of a functioning Google Ads account? Does the ads account have to be a certain age before this is possible without suspension?

Being able to input legitimate information *after* creating a functioning account would be beneficial if google requests an identification proof, right?

Well, essentially I set up an account with an "alias" name to avoid Google Ads suspension, but over time I would like to use my real name because of filing expenses/receipts correctly, since I am trying to run a legit WH business.
And also to avoid problems if Google ever requests an identification proof for my account.

Seems like a very specific case. Your best bet is trying it yourself. As per identification, they definitey will ask you sooner or later. Why not set up a new account with your name? Or 5 or 10? It’s not like it plays any sort of role. Unless you are asking about business name where you want to also put your VAT number, that’s a different story then and I see where is the problem.

I changed the name of my AdWords account recently because of their new verification. Everything was fine. This account was 5 years old with more than 400 k spent so it was a strong account but anyway I don't think it's dangerous to change the name of your AdWords account.
