Google despatched out mass coverage violation notices to some Native Service Advertisements advertisers. The discover is being despatched through e mail and the topic line reads, “Your account has coverage violations that should be resolved.” Google is giving these advertisers till June twelfth to resolve the difficulty.
It’s unclear if this discover was a bug or some type of new enforcement Google took motion on now.
Jason Brown posted a screenshot of the violation discover within the Native Search Discussion board:
I’m advised that the majority, if not all, of those notices went out yesterday afternoon and had been despatched to storage door corporations.
While you click on by, you might be offered with this discover within the Native Service Advertisements console:
That picture was supplied by Crystal Horton who posted it on Twitter. Crystal stated, “LSA is now spelling it out for you when an LSA account will get suspended! There’s additionally a tab within the LSA dashboard for coverage violations.” Crystal added, “An e mail notification was despatched to a number of Storage Door corporations throughout the US inside the final 90 minutes stating “Your account has coverage violations that should be resolved”. However after we click on the blue button, it goes to a web page with no violations. May this be a potential glitch?”

Discussion board dialogue at Native Search Discussion board and Twitter.
Replace: Jason Brown posted this replace within the boards, suggesting this was new enforcement and not likely a bug:
That is what I heard from my shopper.
1. This was a deliberate rollout to focus on spam and abuse in LSA.
2. Google was purported to hyperlink to the coverage violation, and so they did not.
3. This solely impacts Storage Door Restore and no different classes.
4. That is location particular, as not all LSA profiles obtained it.
5. This isn’t an Adwords coverage violation; the discover will seem in your PPC account.
Replace 2: Google has formally responded, principally saying the emails are legit however that they had a little bit of a technical snag. Ginny Marvin from Google wrote, “In case you’re managing Native Providers accounts through an MCC, the hyperlink within the e mail is not redirecting correctly. We’re engaged on a repair, however within the meantime, to see the coverage supervisor you may want to pick the precise account & go to the coverage supervisor web page.” Right here is her response:
Individually, we’ve discovered that some Native Providers accounts which have gone by Superior Verification might even see a coverage flag which has no affect in your advertisements & you’ll be able to disregard the discover. We’re wanting into an answer right here too. 2/2
