There are several alternatives worth exploring:
Alternative Search Engines:
- Bing Ads (Microsoft Advertising) is your best immediate alternative for Western markets - often lower CPC and less competition - Yandex Advertising for Russian markets (if relevant to your market) - Baidu Marketing for Chinese audiences (if relevant to your market)
Resolve Google Issues:
- Try reaching out to a Google Ads account manager - they can sometimes help resolve account blocks that automated support can't handle - Consider working with a certified Google Ads agency who might have better support channels - Document everything meticulously to demonstrate your legitimacy
Rethink Social Advertising:
While you've found social media ads ineffective, generally paid social is effective for most client, so you might want to reconsider with a different approach to define your audience:
- Target people discussing your problem space on LinkedIn/Reddit - Use detailed interest targeting on Meta to reach people in relevant industries/roles
