# Aviary — Advertiser Verification Blocker

## Overview

Aviary's Google Ads account is blocked from running campaigns due to a failed advertiser verification. The account has been submitted for verification multiple times without success. Until this is resolved, campaign optimization is frozen — the Google Ads interface shows red status boxes and prevents changes.

This is a critical blocker for a [[wiki/clients/aviary/index|high-risk client]] where no channel (SEO, Ads, or email) is currently producing results.

## The Error

Google's verification system returns the following rejection message:

> *"The name on the document you provide does not match the organizational details you provided."*

The document submitted contains "Asymmetric" but Google is not accepting it as a match against the organizational details on file. The specific document or field causing the mismatch has not been disclosed by Google through the self-service flow.

## What Has Been Tried

- Manual review requested — no resolution
- Escalation attempted through the self-service interface — no resolution
- Verification submitted and resubmitted approximately **six times** without success
- Deadline noted in the account: **April 12**

## Root Cause (Suspected)

A name mismatch between the document provided (likely a business registration or billing document) and the organizational name entered in the Google Ads account settings. Google does not specify which field is mismatched through the automated rejection flow.

## Resolution Path

1. **Call Google Ads support directly.** The self-service and manual review paths have been exhausted. A phone call is required to get a human to identify the specific document or field causing the mismatch.
2. **Ask the support rep:** Which document is failing, and exactly which field name does not match?
3. **Resubmit** with a corrected document or corrected organizational details once the mismatch is identified.
4. Once verification clears, **Mark to audit the Aviary Google Ads account** — campaigns are currently structured but frozen.

## Assigned Actions

- [ ] Re-submit Aviary advertiser verification; fix document mismatch (@Mark Hope)
- [ ] Call Google Ads support to identify the specific mismatch causing rejection (@Sebastian Gant, per Mark's email instructions)

## Impact

While verification is pending:
- All campaign optimization is blocked (interface shows red status)
- ~20 clicks/day are being received but **zero conversions** are recorded
- Conversion tracking actions (demo booked, lead form submit) show as inactive — not firing
- The account cannot be fully audited or restructured
