How We Restored a Google Ads Account Suspended for 3 Years (Case Study)

Rate this post

Introduction

Google Ads suspensions can feel like the end of the road for many advertisers. When your account is suspended—especially for circumventing system violations—restoring it can seem nearly impossible.

But what if I told you we successfully restored a client’s Google Ads account after 3 years of suspension?

In this case study, I’ll share exactly how my team at AARS Webs Solutions Co. LLC (a Google Partner Company based in Dubai) brought this account back to life, step by step.


The Client’s Struggle

  • Account suspended in 2021 for circumventing system & clocking.
  • The client made hundreds of appeals, calls, and chats with Google support.
  • For over 3 years, the account stayed suspended.

When the client reached out to us, he had lost hope but wanted a final attempt before giving up.


Why Google Suspends Accounts

Here are the most common reasons behind Google Ads suspensions:

  • Suspicious payment activity (IP mismatch, VPNs, unauthorized cards)
  • Aggregate policy violations (bots, automation misuse, manipulation)
  • Counterfeit or misleading products
  • Dishonest behavior suspensions (false or exaggerated claims)
  • Unpaid balances
  • Circumventing system – the toughest and most complex violation

Step 1: Our Comprehensive Audit

We performed a full audit of the client’s website and ad account. Key issues included:

  • Slow website speed (especially on mobile)
  • Missing About Us and Contact Us pages
  • Outdated copyright (2020)
  • Suspicious external footer links
  • Very little content beyond a lead capture form
  • Vague and misleading marketing claims

Step 2: Compliance Fixes

We worked with the client to resolve all compliance issues:

  • Added business identity elements: physical address, phone, email, and registration details
  • Created/updated legal pages: privacy policy, terms & conditions, return/refund policy, cookie policy
  • Updated and corrected website content to remove exaggerated claims
  • Removed external third-party links and suspicious scripts
  • Improved website design, user experience, and images
  • Corrected ad copywriting for compliance

Step 3: Internal Testing

Before appealing, we tested ads on our own internal Google Ads accounts to ensure compliance.

This step saved the client’s account from additional risk and gave us confidence before approaching Google.


Step 4: Direct Google Support Communication

As a Google Partner Company, we leveraged our chat and phone support access. Multiple team members:

  • Engaged with Google support via chat & calls
  • Submitted multiple structured appeals
  • Documented every compliance change to strengthen the case

The Result 🎉

After several weeks of effort:

  • The account was officially reactivated.
  • The client received the Google confirmation email:
    “Your account has been reactivated. As long as there are no other violations, your ads should resume within 24 hours.”

Client Feedback

The client was thrilled and shared 5-star reviews on both Google Maps and Trustpilot:

“My Google Ads account was suspended for nearly 3 years. Ali Raza and his team restored it successfully. Highly professional and patient. I strongly recommend them.”

Key Takeaways

  • Even multi-year suspensions can be restored with the right approach
  • Compliance is everything – missing pages, outdated policies, or vague content can trigger suspensions
  • Test first, appeal later – ensure your site and ads meet Google’s standards
  • Professional help works – experienced teams with partner support access can succeed where DIY appeals fail
