Google Ads is currently experiencing a widespread outage that has affected several components of its platform.
The incident, which began on August 1, 2024, at 15:27 UTC, has left many advertisers unable to access vital tools and reports.
According to the Google Ads Status Dashboard, multiple features are currently unavailable:
- Report Editor
- Dashboards
- Saved Reports
- Products, Product Groups, and Listing Groups pages
The issue spans the Google Ads web interface, API, and Google Ads Editor, indicating a comprehensive system-wide problem.
Ginny Marvin, Google’s Ads Liaison, addressed the situation in a public statement:
“We’re actively looking into an issue with Google Ads. Report Editor, Dashboards, and Saved Reports in the Google Ads web interface are currently down. The Products, Product Groups, and Listing Groups pages are down across the web interface, API, and Google Ads Editor. Thank you for your patience. We will provide an update as soon as we have more information.”
Impact On Advertisers
This outage will likely disrupt Google Ads advertisers’ daily operations.
Without access to the Report Editor, Dashboards, and Saved Reports, marketers may struggle to analyze campaign performance, make data-driven decisions, or present client results.
Inability to access the Products, Product Groups, and Listing Groups pages is concerning for ecommerce advertisers who use these features to manage their product feeds and shopping campaigns.
