Reading taken 2026-09-22 06:48 UTC. Checked every 3 minutes.

This page shows the live status of Google Ads, checked by ArkSignal every few minutes. The current reading loads above and refreshes continuously.

ArkSignal monitors the Google Ads API used for campaign management and offline conversion uploads. A reading is only called an outage when it is corroborated across independent sources: official status feeds, direct probes from two continents and real-world usage signals.

When Google Ads is impaired, bid and budget changes may not apply, conversion uploads can fail silently and Smart Bidding keeps optimising on incomplete data.

Frequently asked questions

Is Google Ads down right now?

The live reading at the top of this page shows the current status of Google Ads as measured by ArkSignal, with the time it was taken. It is refreshed every few minutes. If Google Ads is degraded or down, the affected component and its 0–10 severity score are listed.

How does ArkSignal check whether Google Ads is down?

ArkSignal monitors the Google Ads API used for campaign management and offline conversion uploads. Official status feeds are one input, never the verdict: they are cross-checked against direct probes from two continents and real-world usage signals before anything is called an outage.

What should I do if Google Ads is down?

When Google Ads is impaired, bid and budget changes may not apply, conversion uploads can fail silently and Smart Bidding keeps optimising on incomplete data. Pausing or reducing spend on affected campaigns until the all-clear avoids paying for traffic that cannot convert. ArkSignal members get an alert by email, Slack or Discord within minutes of a confirmed failure, and another when it recovers.
