Google Ads suspensions can be stressful, especially when the account is suspended under the Enabling Dishonest Behavior policy.
In this case study, I’m going to show you how our team at AARSWEBS Solutions CO LLC helped a client work through a Google Ads suspension related to Enabling Dishonest Behavior and move the account toward approval with limited eligibility.
At AARSWEBS, we help clients with:
Google Ads disapprovals
Google Ads suspensions
Google Merchant Center suspensions
Google Business Profile suspensions
Google Ads management
Shopify and WordPress website development
Landing page compliance
Google Ads audits and monthly management
Our main focus is Google Ads management, but many clients first come to us because their ads, landing pages, or accounts are disapproved or suspended. Once we help resolve the issue, many of them continue with us for monthly Google Ads management, campaign optimization, click fraud monitoring, competitor analysis, and performance improvement.
What Was the Issue?
The client’s Google Ads account was suspended for repeatedly violating or enabling the Enabling Dishonest Behavior policy.
Google’s official Ads policy says it does not allow promotion of products or services designed to enable dishonest behavior. Google also gives examples such as products or services that mislead others, gain unauthorized access, or secretly track people without consent.
This type of suspension is different from issues like:
Compromised site
Malicious software
Circumventing systems
Suspicious payment
Unacceptable business practices
In this case, the website was related to social media services such as followers, fans, and pages. This type of niche can easily trigger policy concerns if the website, landing page, ad copy, claims, trust signals, and service positioning are not handled correctly.
Why Enabling Dishonest Behavior Suspensions Are Complicated
Many advertisers think that Google only checks the ad copy.
That is not true.
In many suspension cases, Google may evaluate the complete advertiser ecosystem, including:
Website content
Landing page claims
Terms and conditions
Privacy policy
Refund policy
Contact details
Business identity
Service descriptions
Ad copy
User transparency
Payment pages
Broken links
Search Console indexing status
Google’s suspension overview also says advertisers can appeal if they believe there has been an error, and each suspended account should have a separate appeal with relevant information and explanation.
So, simply submitting an appeal again and again without fixing the root problem usually does not work.
Our Compliance Process
In this case, our team started with a complete review of the website, landing page, and account status.
We reviewed the website and identified areas that could create policy risk. The client’s website was promoting social media-related services, so the messaging needed to be more compliant and transparent.
Our team worked on:
Landing page compliance
Website trust signals
Policy contradiction checks
Search Console issues
Broken links
Contact page verification
Privacy policy updates
Terms and conditions updates
Refund policy updates
Disclaimer page updates
Payment policy page updates
About Us page improvements
Footer updates
Ad copy review
Appeal documentation
The transcript explains that the privacy policy, terms page, refund policy, disclaimer, payment policy, About Us page, and other website sections were recreated or improved for compliance.
Website Compliance Was the Most Important Part
One important lesson from this case study is this:
You cannot fix a Google Ads suspension only from inside Google Ads.
The website must also be fixed.
Even if your ad account is technically reviewed, Google still checks the landing page experience and advertiser transparency. If the website has missing policies, vague business information, weak trust signals, broken links, copied policy pages, misleading claims, or unclear service descriptions, your appeal may fail.
In this case, we focused heavily on making the website more transparent and compliant.
This included improving:
Business legitimacy
Service explanation
Customer information
Policy pages
Disclaimers
Contact details
Trust signals
Footer links
Landing page clarity
After making the changes, we also checked indexing and Search Console-related issues so Google could see the updated version of the website.
Appeal Strategy
After the website changes were completed, we prepared a custom appeal.
A strong Google Ads appeal should not be generic.
It should clearly explain:
What caused the issue
What changes were made
Which pages were updated
How the business is now compliant
Why the account should be reviewed again
What supporting information is available
Google’s suspension guidance says appeals should include relevant information and an explanation of why the advertiser believes the suspension is incorrect or should be reconsidered.
In this case, our appeal was prepared after reviewing the policy, website changes, landing page updates, and account history.
Result: Ads Approved with Limited Eligibility
After the compliance work, review, and appeal process, the account moved forward and ads became eligible with limited status.
In the video transcript, the account is shown with the policy issue history, appeal history, and live account review. The transcript also explains that the account received clicks after the work was completed and remained active instead of going back into suspension.
This is important because suspension recovery is not just about getting one appeal accepted.
The real goal is to make sure the account can continue running without triggering the same issue again.
Why Monthly Management Matters
Many advertisers fix the suspension once and then make the same mistakes again.
That is risky.
For sensitive niches, monthly Google Ads management is very important because policies, landing pages, ad copy, tracking, and business claims must stay aligned.
At AARSWEBS, we help clients with:
Google Ads account monitoring
Policy compliance
Landing page audits
Ad copy review
Campaign optimization
Click fraud monitoring
Competitor analysis
Conversion tracking
Monthly performance reporting
This is why many clients continue with monthly management after their suspension or disapproval is resolved.
Important Note
This case study is not about bypassing Google Ads policies.
It is about improving compliance, transparency, website quality, business information, ad copy, and appeal documentation.
Google’s Enabling Dishonest Behavior policy exists to protect users from products or services designed to deceive, mislead, or enable harmful activity. Advertisers should not try to hide, misrepresent, or evade policy enforcement.
The correct approach is to fix the website, improve transparency, and align the advertising strategy with Google’s policies.
