Many advertisers focus heavily on targeting, bidding, and creatives—but forget that technical compliance can decide whether an ad serves at all.
In this Google Ads video, the key message is simple: your ads can be blocked or interrupted even when messaging is fine, if technical requirements are not met.
Here are the most practical rules to keep in mind:
1) One domain per ad group
Using multiple display URL domains in a single ad group creates inconsistency and can trigger disapproval.
2) HTML5 assets must function correctly
Broken or blank HTML5 ads are considered unacceptable.
3) Stay within account limits
Excessive submissions or content volume beyond account limits can impact serving.
4) Use supported language
Ad and destination content must align with supported targeting languages.
5) Keep video assets available
Private, deleted, or restricted post-submission videos can break delivery.
6) Avoid restricted-access videos
Age-gated or rights-restricted videos may not be eligible for ad serving.
7) Ensure geo-availability
If your campaign targets a country where the video is unavailable, delivery issues are expected.
8) Don’t change core video content after setup
Post-setup content changes can trigger re-evaluation and disrupt performance.
The practical takeaway: run a quick technical checklist before scaling spend. It prevents avoidable downtime and protects campaign momentum.

FAQ EN
Why are ads not serving even when creative quality is good?
Because Google evaluates technical conditions too—domain consistency, language support, and video availability all affect eligibility.
Can I use multiple website domains in one ad group?
It’s risky. The guideline emphasizes domain consistency within an ad group to avoid policy and delivery issues.
Should I modify the video after an ad unit is already created?
Avoid it when possible. Major post-setup changes can trigger re-review and interrupt delivery.
