Has anyone experienced issues with Google Ads being rejected when running traffic to a Webflow site due to a potential script causing 'malicious or unwanted software' according to Google?
Yes, there have been instances where Google Ads have been rejected when running traffic to a Webflow site due to a potential script causing 'malicious or unwanted software' according to Google. This issue typically arises when a third-party script or code injected into the Webflow site triggers Google's security measures.
To resolve this issue and ensure that your Google Ads are not rejected, you can follow these steps:
Identify the problematic script or code: Review your Webflow site's code to identify any third-party scripts or custom code that may be flagged as potentially malicious or unwanted software. Look for any scripts that you may have added for analytics, chatbots, or other integrations.
Contact the script or code provider: Reach out to the provider of the flagged script or code and ask for their assistance in resolving the issue. They may be able to provide you with an updated, secure version of the script or help you troubleshoot any potential security vulnerabilities.
Remove or replace the problematic script: If the provider is unable to resolve the issue, consider removing or replacing the problematic script with an alternative that is known to be secure and compliant with Google's policies. Keep in mind that removing certain scripts may impact the functionality or features of your Webflow site, so proceed with caution and test thoroughly after making any changes.
Submit a request for review to Google: Once you have addressed the issue and removed or replaced the problematic script, submit a request for review to Google Ads. Provide them with a detailed explanation of the steps you have taken to resolve the issue and request that they re-evaluate your site for compliance. This process typically takes a few days, and if approved, your Google Ads should start running as intended.
It is important to note that while Webflow provides a secure and reliable platform, the responsibility for the content and scripts on your site ultimately lies with you as the site owner. Regularly reviewing and maintaining the scripts and code on your Webflow site can help prevent potential issues like Google Ads rejection due to security concerns.
