Google Ads MCC Stability Playbook
Most Google issues are process issues. This checklist prevents expensive disruption.
Google enforcement in 2026 is strict but predictable. Teams that define governance before launch scale with fewer pauses.
Core controls
- One business identity per account
- Consistent billing profile metadata
- Landing pages aligned to ad claims
- Weekly policy hygiene review
Agency MCC environments help because support escalation and trust history are stronger, but internal process quality remains the deciding factor.
