Our GMC got suspended

Hey everyone, just making this post because we’re having a problem currently and we don’t know how to fix that, this is quite important for our business because we mainly rely on ads (not only google but google represents a big % of our sales)

Our gmc got suspended a few days ago so now we are no longer able to run ads.

We are selling replicas which i know is tricky on google ads, but so far we had no problems.

So what to do?

Were you doing cloaking or just running ads without cloaking and being lucky? If you weren't using cloaking, you'll need to use it somehow.

You will need a warmed reactive GMC + cloaking to run replica with gmc and even with this you may end up with restriction

not gonna lie replica on google shopping is playing with fire, their AI catches branded stuff way faster now than even a year ago. if your GMC and domain are already flagged theres no fixing that specific setup — you need a completley new identity. what i'd do tho is skip shopping entirely and go text ads only with generic keywords, no brand names anywhere. and use a verified google ads account with clean history, fresh selfmade accs in this niche get suspended before you even spend a dollar.

Hello bro, i am already running fashion drop with gmc have some active stores but i want to test replica i already have a full cloaking setup with payment can you please tell me more about the search strategy and how to drive warm traffic using the search without actually like bidding on the brands keywords thanks

Once GMC flags you for counterfeits on a domain, that setup is pretty much dead. @maroqwall you actually got lucky running reps raw on shopping for this long... most people get banned in a week nowadays.

If you try to cloak GMC, just know the shelf life is super short because they do manual reviews on the feeds eventually. @Omjm79 for the search side, you don't bid on the exact brand name. You target high-intent generic terms like "luxury leather duffle" or "designer style sneakers" and send them to a pre-lander first. It acts like a review blog or a "top 10 fashion trends" site, then you redirect the warm traffic from there to your actual shop. Still risky but lasts way longer than direct shopping ads.

Selling replica with a GMC ? I think that's the main problem here. Google is damn restrict with these ads and you were trying it in a GMC (2x worse) . I think there isn't any reliable way to keep your ads live for more than weeks (if you are lucky). And don't forget that your competitors have auto report tools to make it harder .

Btw don't try it many times, you will lose more money

If you want to fix, you'll need to create everything again with other details. Use dolphin anti or ads power, a good proxy (from your own country) and either buy or create a new account with other email, phone, business id, payment method, site... everything can't have any connection at all (otherwise when you create the new account you'll be banned with circunventing policy).

Once you done that, upload your products and pray... because as many said, gmc with replica is tough, and you'll eventually have an account banned, so be ready to keep changing domains and everything else.
