Submit a campaign for policy review

Google provides translated versions of the Advertising Policies Help Center, though they're not meant to change the content of the policies. The English version is the official language used to enforce Google Ads policies. To view this article in a different language, use the language dropdown at the bottom of the page.

If your ad campaign is disapproved or limited by policy, please follow the instructions below to appeal.

Appeal policy decision

If you've fixed your ad/destination or believe that we've made an error, appeal the policy decision directly from your Google Ads account to request a review. After we confirm that the ads and the destination to which the ads direct is compliant, we can approve your ads. If you aren't able to fix these violations or choose not to, remove your ad to help prevent your account from becoming suspended in the future for repeated policy violations.

  1. In your Google Ads account, click the CampaignsiconCampaigns Icon.
    • For Ads, click the Campaignsdrop down in the section menu, then click Ads .
    • For Assets, click the Assetsdrop down in the section menu, then click Assets .
  2. In the "Status" column, hover over the "Disapproved" status.
