Can I create a new Google Ads account after a payment suspension?

Technically, it is possible to create a new Google Ads account after a payment suspension, but it's important to tread carefully. Google Ads usually enforces strict policies around repeated violations, and attempting to create a new account to bypass a suspension could lead to further issues, including:

Violation of Google's Terms of Service: If Google detects that you are trying to circumvent a suspension, they may suspend your new account as well. Google uses various tracking methods, including IP addresses, billing information, and more, to link accounts.

Payment Issues: If your previous suspension was due to payment problems (such as unpaid balances, chargebacks, or fraudulent payment methods), you will likely face the same issues with any new account unless those issues are resolved.

Account Monitoring: If you do create a new account, make sure the cause of the original suspension is addressed. You may be placed under extra scrutiny, and any small violation in the new account could lead to its suspension as well.

Steps to Take if You Want to Create a New Account:
Resolve the Suspension: If possible, contact Google Ads support to resolve the payment issue. Sometimes, Google will lift the suspension once you settle the outstanding payments or resolve the issue.

Clear Outstanding Debts: Make sure there are no pending payments or chargebacks tied to the old account.

Use Different Information: If you're creating a new account, ensure the new account has different billing information, email addresses, and business details. However, keep in mind that this could be seen as an attempt to avoid a ban, so it's a risky move.

Appeal the Suspension: You can also try appealing the suspension of your original account. If the suspension was due to a misunderstanding or a minor policy violation, an appeal might get your account reinstated.

In short, while creating a new account might work in the short term, it's best to resolve the original suspension if possible. Keep in mind that creating a new account without addressing the underlying issues might result in more trouble down the line.
