Google Ads Update: Parked Domains Opt-In Required Starting March 2025

Google is making a significant change to how Google Ads appear on parked domains. Starting March 19, 2025, all Google Ads accounts will be automatically opted out of serving ads on parked domains. If you want your ads to continue appearing on these domains, you will need to manually opt-in.

Previously, Google had already opted out of new Google Ads accounts from showing ads on parked domains. Now, this change is being applied to all accounts, including older and existing ones. This means that if you are currently running ads on parked domains, they will stop displaying unless you take action.

What are parked domains?

Parked domains are web addresses that have been registered but do not host a full website. They often contain ads and minimal content, serving as placeholders until they are developed or sold.

How to opt-in

If you want your ads to continue appearing on parked domains, follow these steps:

  1. Log into your Google Ads account.
  2. Navigate to Content suitability settings.
  3. Manually opt-in to show ads on parked domains.

If parked domains are an important part of your ad strategy, make sure to review your settings before March 19, 2025, to avoid any disruption in your campaigns.
