If you see an ad that's inappropriate or even violates Google's ad policies, you can report it.
Ads with restricted content
You may see ads that are promoting restricted content for which our ad policies currently allow ads. The restrictions on ad content may differ from our advertiser-friendly content guidelines for creators, which outline what specific types of creator content are eligible to be monetised with ads.

Policy-violating ads
We use a combination of human and automated review to ensure that ads adhere to Google's ad policies from the moment that an ad is created. This helps ensure a better ad experience for viewers and better ad serving on content on the platform.
However, our reviews don't always get it right. If that's the case, report the ad while it is displayed or fill in and submit this form instead. Our team will then review your ad report and take action if appropriate.
Reporting from the ad itself is a feature only available on YouTube mobile and computer.
Note: If you see one of your videos being used as an ad and would like to know more about how ad views may impact your video's performance, get in touch with our Creator Support team.
