Some keywords (especially long-tail ones) don’t show ads if few people search for them.
In Dubai, industries like:
have extremely high competition, pushing your ads down.
If you keep searching your own keywords, Google stops showing your ads to your device.
If a conversion tracking code is missing, Google restricts automated bidding performance.
When advertisers ask us “Why can’t I see my ads?” or “Is there a problem with Google Ads today?”, the issue usually falls into one of these categories:
Google stops showing your ads when your daily budget is too low or finishes early.
If your industry is competitive (like Dubai real estate, logistics, beauty, or restaurants), a low budget limits impressions.
Solution: Increase daily budget and review CPC bids.
If your cost-per-click bid is lower than competitors, your ads won’t appear.
Dubai markets often require high bids due to strong competition and premium keywords.
Solution: Increase bids for important keywords or use automated bidding.
A very common reason for why Google Ads not showing is ad disapproval.
This happens due to:
Solution: Fix the policy violation shown inside Google Ads.
If your location targeting includes only a small area in Dubai, your ad impressions will drop.
Many advertisers unknowingly target “Dubai Mall” instead of “Dubai”.
Solution: Expand your radius or target all of Dubai, UAE.
Sometimes ads don’t show because your campaign is set to run only during specific hours.
Solution: Check ad schedule settings.
Expired credit cards, failed payments, or unpaid balances automatically pause your ads.
Solution: Update billing details.
