About content exclusions and site category options
Content exclusion settings let you opt out of showing your ads alongside certain categories of websites, videos, and mobile apps that may not be appropriate for your brand or serve your advertising goals.
With a variety of content exclusion options for your Display Network campaigns – such as live streaming video, sensitive social issues, and content for mature audiences – you’ll have more control over where your ads show on the Display Network and YouTube.
Google has policies that define what types of content can be monetized for ads on YouTube and the Display Network. The content settings listed here are meant to give you additional control and help you exclude types of content that, while in compliance with our policies, may not fit your brand or business.
Also see YouTube’s advertiser-friendly content guidelines.
This article explains the available options for Video and Display Network campaigns. For step-by-step instructions, go to Set content exclusions and site category options.
List of content exclusion options
For Video campaigns
Content exclusions options for Video campaigns are found in campaign settings. Here are the available options:
Standard content filter
This filter is the primary tool for excluding content. It filters out the most inappropriate or graphic content from all the content categories, and is recommended for most advertisers. It’s automatically enabled when a campaign is created.
The other content categories listed below exclude additional content on top of what is already excluded by the filter. To understand the difference of what is excluded by the filter and content categories, learn more about the Standard content filter.

About account-level content exclusions
Account-level content exclusions let you set exclusions that apply to your entire account. This means that you can set content exclusions one time in your account settings, and they will apply to all campaigns (both existing and new) in your account.
Note: Account-level control of content exclusions is only available in the new Google Ads experience. Determine which Google Ads experience you’re using.
