Introduction

Effective keywords are pivotal to campaign success. If your keywords are flagged as "blocked" or restricted, this guide will help you understand why and provide solutions.


Why Are Some Keywords Blocked?

Keywords may be blocked due to advertising policies designed to ensure promotions comply with legal, sensitivity, and user experience standards. Keywords related to financial services, regulated substances, sensitive topics, personal services, weapons, and health and medicines are commonly restricted. For instance:

  • Financial Services: "loan," "payday loans," "bitcoin"
  • Regulated Substances: "cannabis," "CBD," "vaping"
  • Sensitive Topics: "abortion," "adult content"
  • Personal Services: "tarot," "psychic readings"
  • Weapons and Health: "guns," "steroids," "weight loss drugs"
