Related policies and common disapprovals

The following Google Ads policies are especially relevant to callouts and are often associated with disapprovals. Learn about what happens if you violate our policies.

Repetition

To maintain a professional appearance in ads, we don’t allow excessive or gimmicky repetition of words or phrases. See the Repetition policy for more information.

For callouts, this means that the text can’t repeat within a callout or from other callouts, ad text or sitelink text within the same ad group, campaign or account. For example, a callout would be disapproved if ad text and ad group, campaign or account-level callouts include the text 'Free delivery'.

Trademarks

Google may remove ads or assets in response to trademark owner complaints. Advertisers are responsible for proper trademark use in their ad text, assets and business information. Refer to the Trademarks policy for more information.
