Google Ads Suspension Loop

1. The 'Related Accounts' Trap
   Even inactive/closed accounts can trigger suspensions. You need to:
   
   • Fully delete (not just close) the old Merchant Center
   • Submit appeals from a fresh browser/IP to avoid association
2. Your Two Options
   
   • Fix Current Account: Hire a Google rep (via Partners program) to manually review—automated appeals won’t work here.
   • Switch to Old Account: Yes, you can run both accounts simultaneously (many businesses do this during transitions). Just add the old email as a secondary admin to your site—no reindexing needed.
3. Nuclear Option
   If both accounts stay flagged, agency accounts bypass these issues entirely. The ones I use ignore past suspensions since they’re whitelisted under clean MCCs.

• Delete (not close) every old account via https://support.google.com/accounts/contact/disabled2
• Use a new device/IP to submit final appeal
• If no progress in 72h, migrate to the old account or go agency route

1. Permanently delete (not just close) the old unused account through Google's account settings. Wait 48 hours, then submit a new appeal.
2. For stronger evidence, submit your appeal with:
   • Screenshots showing old account is gone and current account is compliant
   • A screen recording demonstrating your website follows all policies
3. Avoid switching to the old account - this could cause more issues

Google's "related account" suspensions can be tricky. Here's what to try:

1. Permanently delete (not just close) the old unused account through Google's account settings. Wait 48 hours, then submit a new appeal.
2. For stronger evidence, submit your appeal with:
   • Screenshots showing old account is gone and current account is compliant
   • A screen recording demonstrating your website follows all policies

As a backup, consider other ad platforms like Microsoft Ads. Hope this helps!

Your accounts have been banned for both merchant center and google ads. Every time you reopen one, and spend money on it, google will know it's you, because your accounts are now linked, and this loop of suspensions will never end.

You can always try to relaunch your business on your google ads account that hasn't been banned, but I'll bet you $1,000 that it will be banned for suspicious payments.

I've had friends who managed to get back into google ads despite this, and spend over 50k dollars on their account, but this is not a desirable path, because I'll tell you frankly: you're going to struggle, and you can only count on luck.

In fact, and I recommend this even to White Hat people: train yourself in anti-detection methods.

Learn how to set up an anti-detection browser, have good proxies for google ads, have good credit card sources, and have google ads accounts that you've bought/rented from members of this forum's marketplace. Also master warming up google ads accounts, and all that goes with it.

I'll give you a shortcut, which may be cryptic if you're not familiar with it, but: 1 anti-detection browser profile - 1 google account - 1 google ads account - 1 new domain that has never been flagged by google ads - 1 proxy (residential/mobile from the same geo as your google ads account) - 1 credit card. This will be your setup for EACH google ads account. NEVER use previously banned accounts on your newly acquired accounts.

If you don't have any good payment methods for google ads, already, take prepaid cards available on the BHW marketplace (pst, mybrocard, etc.), and use them on google ads accounts that already have ad spend, just a few dollars. Why? Because these payment methods I've just mentioned aren't very good for starting out on 0 spend accounts, and in most cases you risk getting banned for suspicious payments. The google ads account with spend can override this, in my experience.

If you need advice, you can always contact me by private message on this forum.
