🚫 Turn OFF automatically created ad assets.

Google might pull your competitor’s name from your landing pageβ€”and put it in your ad.

That = fast track to disapproval.

πŸ“„ Use a comparison landing page.

This helps increase relevance and gives you space to show why you're the better choice.

βœ… Set up a separate campaign for competitor keywords.

This gives you better control over spend + trackingβ€”and avoids messing up your other campaigns.

⚠️ But the second they do? That ad is gone.

If you sell products from other brands, good news: you can use their trademarked names too β€” no permission form needed anymore.

Check out this flowchart from SammyπŸ‘‡. It breaks it all down visually.

If a complaint is filed, your ad may be disapproved, and misleading information could lead to account suspension.

βœ… You’re safe if:

- The name is in the second-level domain of your display URL
- You're not impersonating them
- The company hasn’t reported you

🧐 Can you use your competitor’s name in Google Ads?

It depends. And the rules have changed recently.

Under Google’s new trademark policy (fully rolled out in Feb 2025), you can use a competitor’s name in your ad copyβ€”but only until you get caught.
