Google 2025 Ads Safety Report: 8.3 billion ads removed, Gemini catches 99% before they run
Google has published its 2025 Ads Safety Report. Gemini-powered detection tools blocked or removed over 8.3 billion ads and suspended 24.9 million advertiser accounts: including 602 million ads and 4 million accounts associated with scams.
What changed
Over 99% of policy-violating ads were stopped before they ran. Gemini analyses signals, including account age, campaign patterns, and landing page behaviour, to identify malicious intent before ads are served. The number of ads removed in 2025 represents a 63% increase from the 5.1 billion removed in 2024.
Why it matters for advertisers
For you, this means the enforcement environment is materially tighter than a year ago: legitimate advertisers with aggressive copy, landing page discrepancies, or edge-case policy areas face a higher probability of automated review flags than in previous years.
