I run Google Ads professionally and this has also happened to me. I was never unable to fix it directly. One time, I had a Wordpress site that Google Ads claimed was a compromised site. I migrated it to a landing page provider (Unbounce), and Google Ads still insisted the site was compromised even though Google's tools said the said was clean.

What I did to fix this was to migrate my landing pages to a new domain. (I believe migrating my landing pages to a different subdomain on the same domain would also work, but I haven't tested this.)

You don't need to run traffic to your full website. All you need is a marketing website to run traffic to. That marketing website doesn't even need database integration, so you can put that marketing website on a totally different server.

So to fix this issue, I wouldn't try to fix it. I'd just create a marketing website somewhere else and direct traffic to that.

Thanks, I think you're right. I might try a subdomain and if that doesn't work a separate domain altogether, although I would have thought if I link through to the main site surely they'd still block it.. but we'll see
