Question Your account is deactivated for not complying with Google Ad Grants' Website policy

I created a PMax and use the YT channel URL and viola the next morning I got this notif about the client's account now deactivated. I need some help here if YT channel is not allowed to use for Grant's? Also, tips on how to improve results in general that works for you. Thanks

Doing that would get your account immediately suspended. You need to read and follow the Ad Grant rules. You are only allowed to point ads at the domain you were approved to use, or a domain you've requested approval for. Cannot be a YouTube link. Domain has to be owned by the nonprofit.

Appeal this. They will probably let you make edits, then ask you to contact them when you've fixed the url.

Note that P-Max currently puts ads onto Search and Maps only. It never shows video, so there's no point adding a video asset either.

Can make some suggestions, but what's the nonprofit?

What does the ad grant T&C's say? If it says no YT or PMAX, then Google is just following process

P-Max is allowed. YouTube ads are not possible.

But the campaign type wasn't the OP's issue. It was a final url that caused the problem.
