Rules can change, so Rankhog keeps verification dates and the original public Reddit sources visible.
Rule summary
- Spam: If it looks like spam and tastes like spam, don't eat it, report it. This includes but is not limited to posting a thread of services or tools by agencies, freelancers, contractors...ect. Don't use URL shorteners in your posts or comments.
- Rude / Offensive: We don't tolerate rude or offensive people.
- Low Quality Post: No low quality posts here. This includes but is not limited to posting a thread of services or tools by agencies, freelancers, contractors...ect. Also, tools/apps trying to survey the community are not allowed.
- Offensive Language In Title: Keep your post titles clean and succinct.
- Coupons: Coupons are nice, but this is not CouponClippers.com.
- Personal Info: Keep non-public personal info out of posts.
- Unapproved AMA: All AMA threads must have mod approval.
- Course Question: Courses are mentioned in our Wiki in the right sidebar.
- No 'Dev/Founder Research' posts: Posts looking for "pain points" of the community, beta testing apps/tools, app/tool validation ideas, or other posts that are looking for ideas or feedback on apps, tools or software ideas and AI are not allowed. Doesn't matter if it's a survey link or all contained in your post. You will just get banned for posting it.
- Job / Career Type Posts: You can post a job ad as long as your brand/agency is directly hiring someone. Please don't post an ad looking for work or mentors. It just clogs the sub.
Works well
- A detailed question about a specific Google Ads campaign issue, like conversion tracking discrepancies or smart bidding behavior, with no links or product mentions.
- A helpful answer to someone else's Google Ads question, showing real knowledge of the platform, with no promotion attached.
- A direct hiring job ad from your brand or agency, clearly stating the role and that you are the one hiring.
- An AMA thread, but only after you have gotten moderator approval first.
Avoid
- Posting a thread offering your agency, freelancer, or contractor services, which the rules call out as spam and low quality.
- Using URL shorteners anywhere in your posts or comments.
- Running a survey, asking for pain points, or seeking beta testers and validation for an app, tool, or AI idea.
- Posting an AMA without getting moderator approval first.
- Looking for work, mentors, or freelance gigs, since only direct hiring job ads are allowed.
What r/googleads Is For
This community is for Google Ads help, discussion, and information. People come here to ask questions, share what they know, and talk through problems with Google Ads. It is a practical room for people running or learning about Google Ads campaigns.
Rules That Matter Before Posting
The rules that matter most for a founder are 'Spam', 'Low Quality Post', and 'No Dev/Founder Research posts'. The 'Spam' rule bans threads of services or tools by agencies, freelancers, and contractors, and also bans URL shorteners. 'Low Quality Post' repeats the same ban on services or tools and adds that tools trying to survey the community are not allowed. 'No Dev/Founder Research posts' is the one that will catch a founder off guard, because it bans posts looking for pain points, beta testing, app or tool validation, or feedback on software and AI ideas, whether it is a survey link or all contained in your post. 'Unapproved AMA' means any AMA thread needs mod approval first. 'Job / Career Type Posts' allows a job ad only if your brand or agency is directly hiring someone.
What To Post
A good post here is a genuine question or answer about Google Ads, not a pitch. If you are a founder with a tool or service, the safest path is to participate by helping people with their Google Ads questions and sharing useful, specific knowledge without linking to your product. If your brand or agency is directly hiring, you can post a job ad. If you want to host an AMA, get moderator approval first. Anything else should read like a peer in the room, not a vendor at a booth.
What To Avoid
Do not post a thread offering your services or tools as an agency, freelancer, or contractor, because the rules call that spam and low quality. Do not use URL shorteners in your posts or comments. Do not run a survey, ask for pain points, beta test an app, or seek validation for a tool or AI idea, because the 'No Dev/Founder Research posts' rule says you will just get banned for posting it. Do not post an AMA without moderator approval. Do not post looking for work or mentors, and do not treat this as a coupon board.

Common questions about r/googleads
Can I ask the community for feedback on my tool or AI idea?
No. The rules explicitly ban posts looking for pain points, beta testing, validation, or feedback on apps, tools, or AI ideas, and say you will just get banned for posting it.
Can I promote my Google Ads tool or service?
No. The rules list services or tools posted by agencies, freelancers, and contractors as both spam and low quality posts.
Are URL shorteners allowed?
No. The rules say not to use URL shorteners in your posts or comments.
Can I host an AMA here?
No, all AMA threads must have mod approval first.
