My WordPress site is currently marked as “compromised” in Google Ads, blocking me from launching a new campaign. I have already updated all plugins and themes and forced HTTPS I need a security-savvy WordPress specialist to: • Pinpoint and remove any malicious code, malware, or suspicious files still hiding in the installation (core, themes, uploads, database). • Close the loophole that let the intrusion happen in the first place and harden the site (secure file permissions, firewall/Security plugin configuration, login protection, etc.). • Generate a concise cleanup log I can keep on file. • Handle or guide me through the Google Ads resubmission so the “compromised site” warning is cleared and the campaign can go live. Acceptance criteria: the site scans clean with leading tools (e.g., Google Search Console, Sucuri, Wordfence) and Google Ads approves the destination URL. Quick turnaround is important—please outline your estimated timeline and any similar recoveries you’ve handled. I made an appeal and wait for google

Hi, hope you're doing well! I can help get your site cleaned, hardened, and back in Google Ads fast. Here's my approach: deep scan and removal of malware across core files, themes, uploads, and database. Close the entry point and harden the site with proper permissions, firewall, and login protection. Deliver a clean cleanup log for your records. I typically complete recoveries like this within 1 to 2 business days. A few questions to help me get started: 1. Do you have hosting access and a recent backup available? 2. Which security plugins are currently installed, if any? 3. Has Google Search Console flagged any specific URLs or file paths? Looking forward to getting your campaign live quickly! Azeem Amin

Hi, I will scan your full WordPress installation — core files, themes, uploads, and database — to locate and remove all malicious code, then harden the site with proper file permissions, firewall rules, and login protection. I will also prepare the cleanup log and guide you through the Google Ads resubmission. One thing I will check immediately: wp-cron and the wp_options table for injected backdoor callbacks that persist even after plugin updates. Questions: 1) Do you have SSH or only FTP/cPanel access? 2) Has Google Search Console flagged any specific URLs? Looking forward to your response. Best regards, Kamran

Hello, I can see the real issue isn’t just a WordPress cleanup , it’s that Google Ads is treating your site as unsafe, which blocks the campaign at the exact moment you need momentum. I’ve handled similar recoveries by tracing the infection path across core files, themes, uploads, and the database, then tightening the site so the warning doesn’t come back. I’ll audit the installation, remove any malicious code or suspicious artifacts, harden permissions, verify firewall and security plugin settings, and prepare a clean log of everything corrected. I also work with Google Ads/Search Console review workflows, so I can guide the resubmission and help you present the site cleanly for approval. I’ve shared an initial estimate based on your description, and once we go over a few technical or functional details, I’ll confirm the exact cost and delivery schedule. For a quick turnaround, I can start with a full security review within today and aim to complete cleanup, hardening, and the approval guidance in 1-2 days depending on how deep the infection is. Can you share whether you have full hosting/SFTP and WordPress admin access, plus the exact Google Ads warning text or reason code if available? 1) Do you have admin + hosting access, and can I review the site’s file manager/SFTP and database? 2) Have you already identified the Google Ads alert reason code or only the “compromised” label? 3) Which security tools are currently installed , Wordfence, Sucuri, Cloudflare, or someth

Hi! I can help you with clearing the compromised flag and getting your Google Ads campaign live. I've handled this exact situation before. The usual culprits are backdoor files hidden in uploads or injected database entries that plugin updates won't catch. My approach is to scan core files against clean checksums, check the database for injected scripts, remove anything malicious, then lock things down with proper permissions and a firewall config. Once it's clean I'll put together the cleanup log and help you through the Google Ads resubmission. I'm Edward, 10+ years with WordPress security cleanups. Turnaround is typically 1 to 2 days. Let me know if you want to get started.
