Report an ad in the Ad review center

The ads in our program are reviewed according to their specific advertising guidelines. While we make every effort to ensure that ads which may violate our policies do not run prior to review, some ads may run on Google before our specialists check them.

When you block an ad in your Ad review center, you can also report that ad if you think it violates our policies. We may not review all of the ads that you report, but we will incorporate your feedback into our review process.
