In March 2022, for improvising the clarity for advertisers, Google Ads is updating its Destination requirements policy. The current policies won’t be impacted by the changes that have been made. On 21st March 2022, official changes to the destination policies are going to affect. If one is unclear regarding the reason why Google has disapproved their ads in the previous days, these are changes that should be there benefiting you.
When an ad is disapproved by Google, usually the reason for that disapproval is not clear, or what does that mean for the rest of the campaign of an advertiser.
The main reason behind this update of the destination policy by Google is to provide different clear examples and updated language of disapprovals. These are the following changes that have been made to the policy:
The first change that will be made will be within the “insufficient original content” policy. To be more specific, into this insufficient policy, websites that had error messages inclusive of “site under construction” will be categorized. In the previous days, such error messages used to correspond to the “destination not working” policy. While the destinations that will now receive this error message include: a website whose main intention is to reserve a web address (without any content on it), parked domains, websites that are there displaying “under construction” or “coming soon” messages.
This second update is an independent, new policy that came from Google. This policy is called a “destination not accessible” and further falls under access limitations’ requirements. An example of this is that if a site has shown a message of “down for maintenance”, this is the error message that you will be receiving from Google Ads. While below are the other examples where one will be receiving this disapproval from Google:

Furthermore, one might be at risk for receiving disapproval in the following conditions:
With more transparency and clarity provided by Google around disapprovals, one might be able to troubleshoot the ads faster. The quick identification of a disapproval issue is proportional to the ads getting back up and running.
On March 21st, 2022 these policy updates go into effect. One will want to make sure that the website and the accessibility catering to it come in the good condition for avoiding these disapprovals.
