Google Ads Landing Page Compliance Review
A policy-focused landing page review of the pages your Google Ads point to. We check how clearly your page shows who you are, what you offer and what it costs, and whether anything could suggest a government connection that does not exist.

Why it matters
Why landing-page compliance matters
Google reviews ads and their destinations. For government documents and services, the landing page is where users decide whether they are dealing with an official source. Pages that are unclear about this create risk, both for users and for your account.
For authorized providers, Google’s October 2026 criteria also limit what the domain may promote: only the specific document or service covered by the authorization. See the policy reference.
What Google says
Google’s Misleading representation policy states that ads or destinations that exclude relevant information or provide misleading information about products, services and businesses can deceive users. For this policy category, Google also adds a “Not a government website” disclosure to Search ads unless the advertiser is certified as a government provider.

- Recommended changes, with priority levels (high, medium, low).
- References to the relevant official Google policy pages.
We describe this as a policy-focused landing page review. It does not give your page any status with Google: Google has no approval or certification for websites, and it reviews every ad and destination itself.
What we do not guarantee
Google makes the final decision. This is independent compliance support. We are not Google or a government body, and we are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or partnered with either. We do not guarantee:
- Google approval
- Google certification
- ad approval
- account reinstatement
- any verification outcome
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Will Google approve my landing page after the review?
We cannot say. Google has no approval status for websites: it reviews ads and their destinations itself, and we cannot guarantee any outcome.
Do you need access to my website or hosting?
No. We review the pages as users see them. We do not need passwords or admin access.
Is a "Not a government website" statement on my page enough?
It helps, but the whole page should be consistent with it: wording, design, pricing and contact details. Google adds its own disclosure to Search ads for this category unless you are certified as a government provider.
Can you review pages for a site that is not yet live?
Yes, if you can share a working URL. Changes after the review may need checking again.
