On 14 April 2025, Google will update its unfair advantage policy to clarify that our prohibition on showing more than one ad at a time for your business, app or site applies only to a single ad location. Specifically, the unfair advantage policy will be updated to read:

The following is not allowed:

Not supported Using the Google Network to gain an unfair traffic advantage over other participants in the auction

Examples (non-exhaustive): Affiliates that advertise on Google Ads against the applicable affiliate programme rules; trying to show more than one ad for your business, app or site in a single ad location

Violations of the policies below will not lead to immediate account suspension without prior warning. A warning will be issued at least seven days prior to any suspension of your account. Learn more about suspended accounts.
