Repeated Google Ads Policy Violations – Suspecting Competitor Abuse

curatox said:

Hello everyone,


I’ve been running Google Ads successfully for over 10 years without any major issues. However, over the past few months, I’ve been receiving repeated policy violation warnings from Google, specifically citing "Misrepresentation" or "Untrustworthy behavior." I’ve now received my second warning, and I am extremely concerned – one more could lead to the permanent suspension of my account.


The strange part is that these issues only started recently, and it feels highly suspicious. I strongly suspect that a competitor is repeatedly reporting my ads, triggering these warnings. Each time, I’m forced to rewrite my ad copy just to get them reapproved, even though I’m not violating any guidelines intentionally. This cycle is taking a heavy toll on my business and my peace of mind.


Has anyone experienced something similar?
Do you have any advice on how to protect yourself from malicious reports or how to communicate this situation more effectively with Google Support?


Any tips, tools, or real experiences would be highly appreciated. I’m truly at a loss and don’t want to lose the account I’ve built and relied on for over a decade.


Thanks in advance for your help,
Curatox
