Report an ad in the Ad review center

This article is about blocking an ad and reporting it for potential policy violations using the Ad review center.

The ads in our program are reviewed according to their specific advertising guidelines. We try to review ads to ensure they meet our policies. However, some ads may run prior to the Google specialist's review.

To report an ad, access the Ad review center. When you block an ad in the Ad review center, you can also report the ad if you think it violates our policies. If possible, we'll incorporate your feedback into our review process.

Report an ad

You can report an ad when you block it. To report an ad:

1. Sign in to Google Ad Manager.
2. Click Delivery, then Creatives, and then Ad review center.
3. On an ad, click , then Block and report ad.
4. Next to "I want to report this ad for violating 1 or more Google Ads policies," verify the box is checked, and click Confirm.
