[NEED HELP] Google Ads – Ad Approved Then Blocked After $2 Spend (SMM)

1. Should I use a bridge page to avoid this, and if so, how do I set it up properly?
2. Is cloaking useful here ?
3. If this happens once, is the domain already flagged long-term? Or can I reuse it with another approach?

1. • Bridge pages might help, but ensure they comply with Google's policies.
   • Cloaking is against Google's terms and can lead to further penalties.
   • Domain flagging can be long-term, but it depends on the severity and Google's review process.

1. • Revise ad copy and landing page to focus on legitimate SMM services (e.g., content creation, strategy).
   • Use Google's Ad Policies help resources to ensure compliance.
   • Consider appealing the block if you believe it was incorrect.

Hey everyone,

I just launched a Google Ads campaign promoting a Social Media Marketing (SMM) service using completely neutral keywords, title, and description – nothing about "buy followers" or anything that would raise red flags.

The ad got approved and started running fine – spent around $2 and started getting impressions/clicks.
Then suddenly, it got blocked with the same old "Enabling Dishonest Behavior" violation.
Now I’m wondering:

1. Should I use a bridge page to avoid this, and if so, how do I set it up properly?
2. Is cloaking useful here ?
3. If this happens once, is the domain already flagged long-term? Or can I reuse it with another approach?

Anyone here running ads for SMM services and dealing with this successfully? Looking for real solutions that worked for you – even partial workarounds.
Appreciate your insights

1. Yes. A White page is definitely required. Use a old domain and something that would easily get approved in terms of content. Then comes the cloaking aspect because obviously you need to cloak your page.
2. Yes
3. You can definitely reuse it if you cloak your ads properly; hence proper methods as well as tools are required
