Google Ads Suspended My Account For No Reason

Google AdWords account has been suspended because your billing information in this or a related account could not be verified. Learn more

I often see, when people looking for their query on : Adwords account suspended billing information.

Then let me tell, Such type of Account suspensions occurs when you enter fake billing information, typically done using virtual credit card and entering random names and profiles, Google is smart enough to detect that.

Unauthorised Attempt

Your Google AdWords account has been temporarily suspended due to suspected unauthorised access attempts.

This usually happens when you try to log into your account using public proxies, random VPN, RDP or from a remote location from where Adwords didn’t expect you to login. I do travel a lot and it’s never been an issue for me while logging in from another country but remote locations, VPN, RDP and Public proxies are different things.

Unfair Advantage Policy

Your Google Ads account has violated the Unfair advantage policy.
 

This is a new kind of error when Google updated their policy and they states this when people have similar or diversify content and they are promoting it through single or multiple accounts over adwords. ‘We don’t allow advertisers to promote the same or similar content from multiple accounts on the same or similar queries’.

The above solutions fairly answer the main question ‘Why would an Google account be suspended? & What does it mean when your account has been suspended?’

Another case where one of a client came was due to Google suspended his account due to a chargeback done by the credit card company of the client. Google has termed that we will not reactive or reinstate the account until and unless the dues are cleared.

      8. Hello, my merchant center account go suspended on Monday , I’m getting the email that says

        ur Merchant Center account has been suspended, and your products no longer appear on Google Shopping. Note that a suspension notification is also displayed in your Merchant Center account. In addition, related Merchant Center accounts may also get suspended.

        — Policy violations to fix

        Your Merchant Center account (Spw Industrial, ID: 105557499) is in violation of the following policies:

        UNTRUSTWORTHY PROMOTIONS (MISREPRESENTATION OF SELF OR PRODUCT)

      9. Adwords suspended my account for “suspicious payments”, Haven’t received any answer from google yet and i really need to overcome this problem in order to run my campaign. Any suggestions?

      10. Absolutely amazing post! Really like your take on this – fortunately my account has never been suspended since using Adwords in the last 5 years however I hear of other accounts that get suspended and businesses suffer big time! I had a query – are accounts who spend large amounts on Adwords (e.g. 60k dollars per month plus) less likely to be suspended than accounts with little ad spend? Also how many times does an ad have to be dissaproved be considered repeated too much to warrant a suspension, and is it ok if you fix these disapproved ads straight away?
        Best wishes!!

        1. Hello Nabil,

          Yes, accounts with big spend are less likely to be suspended. The number of time an ad needs to be disapproved for an account to get suspended varies on various factors such as, account age, domain, account spend, niche and target market.

      11. Thanks for such a relevant information. As a Digital Marketer, your above-mentioned blog would help me lot as I myself was facing the same problem of account suspension now and then. Thanks for the information, I will keep it in mind affirmatively.
