Speaker A
If your Google Ads have been disapproved due to compromised site or circumventing system, then you have to watch this video in full.
00:21
Speaker A
And in case if you need either services for your Google Ads disapproval, Google Ads suspension, Google Merchant Center suspension, Google Ads management, landing page or any kind of digital marketing services, you can hire me and my team.
00:41
Speaker A
Now, let's move on how I was able to restore a Google Ads being disapproved for compromised site plus circumventing system.
00:57
Speaker A
So, let's get started.
00:58
Speaker A
So, when we got the project, here, you know, is over here, you can see over here that the site was being affected with circumventing system and compromised site.
01:10
Speaker A
You can see over here as well that there were two, you know, issues over there and the client, you know, tried repeated times, you know, the appeal as well.
01:20
Speaker A
And just to let you know that if you try to do frequent appeal, you know, you can result your account getting into permanent suspension, which, you know, causes a lot of delay as well.
01:30
Speaker A
So, you can understand that when you are not able to advertise online, you are losing a lot of business as well.
01:36
Speaker A
So, when this case arrived, you can see over here.
01:40
Speaker A
And now I'm going to show you the domain as well, so guys have a clear cut idea.
01:44
Speaker A
And then I will show you as well on, you know, what we did over here as well.
01:46
Speaker A
So, this was, you know, the website, you know.
01:50
Speaker A
You can see over here as well.
01:53
Speaker A
So, this is everything, you know, the client's website.
01:55
Speaker A
And, you know, when they this happened, you know, we do is, you know, the first thing, you know.
02:00
Speaker A
There are certain things, you know, which needed done as well, you know, and I have written as well.
02:05
Speaker A
So, the first thing which we need to do is we are going to check the website for security issues, you know.
02:10
Speaker A
Security or malware issues.
02:13
Speaker A
So, what is my meaning over here when I say security or malware issues is basically any kind of adware, any kind of virus on your website.
02:20
Speaker A
Any nulled plugin, any, you know, someone has hacked your website and added some content.
02:27
Speaker A
So, we want to make sure that our website is clean of all of these things.
02:30
Speaker A
Now, since our website is approved, so you cannot see it, but I'm just letting you know as well.
02:35
Speaker A
So, what we did was this was our first check over here.
02:38
Speaker A
And once we did this free website malware and security check, we are going to see over here that the site is on medium risk.
02:43
Speaker A
In those scenarios, when the site is on higher risk, then we have to sort over here as well.
02:50
Speaker A
And we have to sort things, you know, which is causing things.
02:55
Speaker A
So, this requires a developer work as well.
02:57
Speaker A
So, when we started, it was in a critical situation.
03:03
Speaker A
Now, you can see over here that this is in a medium risk.
03:06
Speaker A
And you can see over here that the website is not being blacklisted over here.
03:10
Speaker A
This suggested certain things there as well to increase their security.
03:16
Speaker A
But you can see over here that the website doesn't have anything over here.
03:20
Speaker A
So, you can see over check, first check was to see in case if there is any security or any malware issues.
03:25
Speaker A
The second thing, you know, which we do check is placeholder issue.
03:28
Speaker A
Okay, we got the idea of a placeholder by sorting out Google Merchant Center accounts.
03:33
Speaker A
Because in Google Merchant Center suspensions, we felt that the placeholder is one of the key ingredients, you know, to see over here as well.
03:40
Speaker A
So, after sorting out the placeholder issue.
03:45
Speaker A
And if you ask me how we can, so the best way is as a non-programmer, as a non-coder.
03:50
Speaker A
What you have to do is to simply see over here and you can see over here tools and developer tools.
03:54
Speaker A
To see the source code and if you try writing over here in case if you find any placeholder issue over here as well.
04:00
Speaker A
So, it need to figure out those placeholders.
04:03
Speaker A
You can see over here that this is a placeholder with the name of an image.
04:06
Speaker A
This is not placeholder.
04:08
Speaker A
This is the name of the image.
04:10
Speaker A
So, in case if is there there is any placeholder that needs to be sorted.
04:17
Speaker A
Not if the image name is placeholder.
04:20
Speaker A
So, usually where we can find the placeholder is usually in the contact form, blank blank spaces.
04:27
Speaker A
So, it's a coding issue, this needs to be sorted.
04:30
Speaker A
Again, this is not recommendatory in Google Ads disapproval, but this is definitely recommended.
04:36
Speaker A
So, this is going to be recommended over here to sort this on as well.
04:40
Speaker A
So, sorting it out is important.
04:43
Speaker A
Okay, sometimes we have overseen that the robots.txt file has issues.
04:47
Speaker A
And this can also cause suspension.
04:50
Speaker A
So, what we do is, you know, we usually go to the robots.txt file to see.
04:53
Speaker A
In case if we are able to access.
04:56
Speaker A
And I'm going to move over here.
04:58
Speaker A
So, what we do is we check this robots.txt file as well for any possible errors.
05:03
Speaker A
Sometimes the crawler is not allowed.
05:05
Speaker A
So, our second, you know, this step ensures that there is nothing over here as well.
05:10
Speaker A
After this, the fourth thing which we do is Google Search Console.
05:13
Speaker A
But before we do Search Console, we look for dead links.
05:16
Speaker A
So, to check the dead links, I'm going to write over here as well.
05:20
Speaker A
We are going to use one of the dead link checker known as dead link checker.
05:25
Speaker A
But you can use any one, you know, to sort this out.
05:28
Speaker A
So, what we're going to do is, we're going to write this website over here to see if there is are any any broken links over here as well on the website, you know.
05:35
Speaker A
Which are currently at the moment present, you know, which is causing the ads disapprovals.
05:40
Speaker A
So, you can see over here that they are going to scan the website.
05:45
Speaker A
And in case if we found any back links, it means that we need to sort them out.
05:50
Speaker A
Okay, a manual check is also mandatory.
05:53
Speaker A
Because this is a machine work and, you know, sometimes they are mistakenly, you know, adding a link which is not in in reality a bad link.
06:00
Speaker A
So, which is why a double check is necessary.
06:03
Speaker A
This can take a little bit time.
06:05
Speaker A
But this is also important and essential to make sure that our website do not have any bad links, any broken links.
06:12
Speaker A
So, this is another check which we I wanted to ensure.
06:16
Speaker A
So that we are fully sure that there are no bad links on the website.
06:20
Speaker A
So, once we figured out in case if are there any broken links on the website.
06:25
Speaker A
Then they need to be corrected.
06:27
Speaker A
But in case if we find any back links which are actually not present.
06:33
Speaker A
We need to sort them out by Google Search Console as well.
06:36
Speaker A
So, which is why I wanted to sort this before even, you know, going into Search Console.
06:40
Speaker A
After you are sorted this one, move on to Search Console.
06:43
Speaker A
Okay, Search Console is a Google tool and report.
06:47
Speaker A
You know, which can help you in optimizing search traffic, fixing out issues.
06:51
Speaker A
So, what I'm going to do is, I'm going to open another, you know, over here.
06:55
Speaker A
And I'm going to show you what we can do over here.
06:57
Speaker A
So, what I'm going to do is, I'm going to open any property just to let you know.
07:00
Speaker A
The errors we face and everything we are over here as well.
07:03
Speaker A
So, what we're going to do is, we're going to look for any possible errors over here.
07:06
Speaker A
We're going to look for any possible errors over here.
07:09
Speaker A
We're going to see for experience over here.
07:11
Speaker A
We're going to see anything over here.
07:15
Speaker A
And in case if we find anything, we are going to update over here for the new request over here.
07:20
Speaker A
To remove a link, to do anything, we are going to mention over here.
07:23
Speaker A
We're going to see everything over here.
07:25
Speaker A
Sometimes, you know, the issues are also being told over here as well for any bad links.
07:30
Speaker A
Anything, you know, you can see over here as well like invalid, non-HTTPS.
07:33
Speaker A
So, a thorough review of Google Search Console is also necessary for ensuring compliance.
07:39
Speaker A
So, Google Search Console for fixing website issues.
07:44
Speaker A
And checking out everything plus sorting out any dead links we have on the website.
07:48
Speaker A
So, after this, our next step is going to be the plagiarism check.
07:50
Speaker A
Okay, you might be like, what is plagiarism?
07:53
Speaker A
Plagiarism is checking for duplicate content.
07:56
Speaker A
In case if we are copying someone content, you know, it will also be called in a circumventing system or compromised site.
08:02
Speaker A
So, this can cause an issue as well.
08:04
Speaker A
So, plagiarism check is also important and you can use any plagiarism checker tool.
08:10
Speaker A
And you can find on Google as well.
08:14
Speaker A
And, you know, if I'm going to use this one, just had to write the content, upload the file.
08:19
Speaker A
Or I'm going to check via web URL to see in case if there is any issue over here.
08:24
Speaker A
I'm going to write it over here as well to see in case if any plagiarism error over here.
08:27
Speaker A
Plagiarism issue over here.
08:30
Speaker A
So, this can let me know that if any copied content is over there.
08:33
Speaker A
We need to sort that out.
08:35
Speaker A
So, plagiarism checking is also very important for compliance.
08:40
Speaker A
So, you can see over here that they are also doing plagiarism.
08:43
Speaker A
And you can see that the 75% plagiarism is over here.
08:48
Speaker A
25% unique content is being left.
08:50
Speaker A
So, I'm going to tell you that this is always not recommended.
08:55
Speaker A
But a professional approach to get the plagiarism content sorted.
09:00
Speaker A
Either way, you know, if your ads are being disapproved, this is not a good ethical opinion.
09:05
Speaker A
So, in my opinion, in either way, we have to remove our plagiarism content.
09:10
Speaker A
But sometimes, you know, what happens is that if the website is copying your content.
09:15
Speaker A
Like the other budget, it should be fine.
09:17
Speaker A
Like, you know, sometimes you are using your own content.
09:20
Speaker A
So, for instance, you know, it's getting with your own website page, home or about us page.
09:25
Speaker A
So, then you need to find, yeah, it's fine, you know.
09:27
Speaker A
You are in and that the content is mostly about his information, about the author information.
09:32
Speaker A
So, yeah, it's fine over here.
09:34
Speaker A
So, you can see over here that this is an example which I'm going to quote over here, you know.
09:40
Speaker A
I'm going to make myself smaller so you can see over here.
09:44
Speaker A
That this is one of the bad link, you know, suggested for another client.
09:50
Speaker A
I'm just going to and the client, you know.
09:53
Speaker A
For compromised site, they said that this link need on your domain.
09:58
Speaker A
Therefore, to fix this issue, the malicious link must be removed from the website.
10:03
Speaker A
So, we have to remove malicious or bad link from the Google.
10:07
Speaker A
So, if any malicious link or bad link from Google, this also needed to be removed from your website.
10:13
Speaker A
And this can also be told by continuous scans.
10:16
Speaker A
So, most happened, you know, that when people sort out all these issues.
10:20
Speaker A
They usually try to press this appeal button on their ads account.
10:24
Speaker A
But this is not the formula.
10:26
Speaker A
I'm just going to give you a sample email report of, you know, report.
10:30
Speaker A
My team developed for this case.
10:33
Speaker A
So, I'm going to show you how the is it matching or not.
10:35
Speaker A
So, this was the website and, you know, they pointed out some bad links as being told over here.
10:40
Speaker A
Then, you know, there is another thing as well that page speed needs to be optimized.
10:43
Speaker A
So, you can consider this factor as well that the page speed also, page speed optimization is also good.
10:47
Speaker A
Okay, again, these are not mandatory, but these are recommended steps.
10:50
Speaker A
When your website is in trouble, you have to sort out everything.
10:54
Speaker A
When it's fine, it's going, you know, it's fine.
10:56
Speaker A
But when the Google is going to do a manual review, then we need to ensure that everything is compliant.
11:01
Speaker A
After this, you know, we can see over here that the plagiarism issue I told you about this as well.
11:05
Speaker A
And then, you know, the right wordings can be an issue as well.
11:10
Speaker A
You know, right words or claims on your website.
11:13
Speaker A
Sometimes what happening is that you are doing unnecessary claims like lose 5 kg in 10 days.
11:18
Speaker A
How you are claiming this?
11:19
Speaker A
Do you have any scientific evidence?
11:21
Speaker A
No, you do not have any.
11:22
Speaker A
How you are claiming it?
11:24
Speaker A
It's just a generic approach.
11:25
Speaker A
So, which is why, you know, they do not recommend it.
11:28
Speaker A
This is not acceptable at all.
11:30
Speaker A
So, which is why a thorough review of content on your website is also necessary.
11:35
Speaker A
Which my team did.
11:36
Speaker A
I'm just giving you an example and, you know, they recommended some changes as well.
11:40
Speaker A
You know, some disclaimers added.
11:42
Speaker A
Suggested revisions for the pages and some changes.
11:45
Speaker A
You know, you were here as well, you know.
11:47
Speaker A
They told about changes, changes.
11:50
Speaker A
I'm just giving you examples, you know.
11:51
Speaker A
Again, a thorough review of every case is going to tell a different idea.
11:54
Speaker A
So, these are also the part of our approach.
11:59
Speaker A
After this, we are going to do is we are going to reach out Google support.
12:01
Speaker A
One can also reach to Google support.
12:02
Speaker A
Okay, what you have to do is, you know.
12:04
Speaker A
This is the Google link and, you know, you can simply go to Google support.
12:06
Speaker A
Okay, anyone can do it.
12:07
Speaker A
But, you know, as a Google Partner, you know, whenever, you know, we go with four approaches.
12:12
Speaker A
We reach to our dedicated manager for our client.
12:15
Speaker A
We use the Google chat support.
12:17
Speaker A
Again, you know, not all people can see over here as well.
12:20
Speaker A
But as a Google Partner, we usually see it whenever we attach the client account.
12:24
Speaker A
The third thing is, you know, reaching out via email.
12:27
Speaker A
Fourth is calling to support.
12:29
Speaker A
Okay, what we do is to make the procedure quick, we do all of the four channels together.
12:33
Speaker A
You know, one of the guys is doing the call, one of the guys is doing the email, one of the guys is chatting on the live chat with the Google to sort out these issues to reach to our team as well.
12:38
Speaker A
So, when we use the four approaches, what happens is we expect things to be done quicker, earlier, either way.
12:43
Speaker A
So, when the Google is also thinking that the client is very serious, you know, and everything is going on.
12:46
Speaker A
So, I'm just telling you how we can sort these errors.
12:50
Speaker A
You know, when we reach try to use four of these methods, we can expect quicker approvals.
12:54
Speaker A
And this was scenario over here as well.
12:57
Speaker A
We did not have to press the appeal over here.
13:00
Speaker A
And I'm going to show you a before as well.
13:02
Speaker A
If I'm going to show you that the account has active, nothing, you know.
13:06
Speaker A
If I'm going to show you over here as well in the policy manager.
13:10
Speaker A
Or you can see over here, you may see in failed attempts over here.
13:14
Speaker A
You can see over here that they these are all failed attempts over here as well.
13:18
Speaker A
And you can see the account as well.
13:20
Speaker A
You can see the account as well.
13:21
Speaker A
And now I'm going to show you, you know.
13:23
Speaker A
When we tried discussing with the Google and then suddenly, you know.
13:27
Speaker A
This was an email, you know.
13:29
Speaker A
Which we did our to to my staff got it.
13:31
Speaker A
And you can see over here that good evening, Muhammad.
