But it's an acronym!

So...

I wanted to advertise on a specific set of keywords to do with a trade fair. The name, which is in the Ad, is an acronym, and spelled everywhere in uppercase (in press, on their promotional material, etc as WIDGET, not widget). However, Google refuses to accept this, and insists it should be in lower case (which looks strange).

Drat.

P.S.: Now they want me to change "the best widget" to "perfect widgets".?

I had this happen once. We emailed support with a URL to an authoritative site that provided definitions and a glossary for terms used in the industry. They then apologized, and let it through.

They're reasonable people. Maybe you should try that strategy. It looks a lot less biased if there are a million sites on the Internet using it in CAPS.

Thanks bakedjake, for an absolutely correct answer.

If you feel that an ad has been disapproved in error, then please respond to the disapproval email, saying why you believe an error was made.

If we've made a mistake, we'll fix it, and apologize too.

They really will investigate it. All you have to do is show them on the web that what you've included in your ad is how people actually write it.
