Google Ads Destination Requirements: Avoid Ad Disapprovals in 2025

Your ad might look perfect, but if the landing page fails Google’s destination requirements, it won’t run. These rules determine whether your post-click experience is functional, transparent, and safe for users — and violating them can instantly halt your campaigns.

What Are Google Ads Destination Requirements?

They’re the standards Google uses to evaluate whether your ad’s destination (page or app) delivers a reliable, accessible, and trustworthy experience. In 2025, the policy now includes stricter rules around phone number verification, regional access, and content originality.

Common Reasons for Disapproval

Non-functional pages – Broken links, server errors, or “site under construction.”

Destination mismatch – The display URL doesn’t match the final landing page.

Blocked pages – Robots.txt prevents Google AdsBot from crawling your content.

Geo-blocking – Your page is restricted in targeted countries or devices.

Low-quality experience – Intrusive pop-ups, auto-play videos, or malware triggers.

Thin content – Duplicate or “doorway” pages with no original value.

How to Fix Destination Disapprovals

Step 1: Review the disapproval reason in your Google Ads dashboard.

Step 2: Audit your landing page for accessibility, security, and transparency.

Step 3: Correct issues — add HTTPS, fix broken URLs, or add clear business info.

Step 4: Resubmit your ad for review. If rejected unfairly, file an appeal.

Pro Tips to Stay Compliant

✅ Make sure your ad copy, display URL, and destination domain align perfectly.

✅ Include pricing, contact details, and privacy policies for transparency.

✅ Use unique, high-quality content and avoid duplicate or scraped text.

✅ Test regional and mobile accessibility before publishing.

✅ Keep your landing page secure (SSL, no malicious code).

Staying compliant isn’t just about avoiding bans — it’s about improving user trust, conversion rate, and campaign ROI.
