How do I know if my Google Ads account was canceled?
When your Google Ads account is canceled due to no spending, all campaigns and ads will stop, and you won’t be able to promote your service or product, and it’s frustrating.
But don’t worry! This blog will guide you through all the difficulties you may encounter when you try to reactivate your account.
Reasons why your account may be canceled?
There are two primary reasons:
- A user with administrative access to your Google Ads account requested to cancel the account
- Your Google Ads account is inactive and has not had any spending for more than 15 months
If you manage other active Google Ads accounts, these accounts will not be affected by the cancelation of your inactive Google Ads account. If your statement were canceled due to inactivity, it would not be displayed in linked manager accounts unless you choose to unhide canceled accounts.
What will happen when you reactivate your account?
When you canceled your account, all your active ads stopped showing. When you reactivate your Google Ads account:
- All ads or campaigns that you left running will resume.
- All ads or campaigns you paused will not run again until you re-enable them.
To prevent your ads from starting automatically upon reactivating your account, log in and pause your ad groups, campaigns, or ads. You can reactivate them once your account has been activated.

Frequent Asked Questions about canceled account
What happens if I cancel my Google Ads account?
Canceling your Google Ads account will stop all your active campaigns and associated data. Google will retain your account and its data for a short time, and may permanently delete after that. Therefore, you cannot access the account or any of its data once canceled.
What if I also deleted my Google Account?
To reactivate your Google Ads account, you need to recover your Google Account first.
What if I don’t see an option to reactivate the account?
Individuals with Admin privileges can perform the reactivation of a canceled account. If you do not have Admin access, “Reactivate my account” will not be visible under “Account status” in your settings. Those with Standard access must contact an Admin user to reactivate their account.
If your account is associated with a manager account, reactivation is only possible if the manager account has not reached its maximum number of linked accounts. If the manager account has reached its total capacity, reactivation can only occur if the manager accounts unlink or cancel one of its current managed accounts.
