I made a blog post comparing Microsoft 365 offering with Google Workspace. It seemed to be a good time seeing Microosft just increased the license costs, but still, based on features and price Microsoft 365 seems to be the obvious choice.

I decided to add the blog post to my Google Ads , a few hours after started running I get an email that my account was suspended due to "Unacceptable Business Practice", why ?

This is why it has been marked as a phishing site due to not properly identifying your affiliation. There is no footer with the details of the business behind the site and the about us page does not properly identify your company or business information which is very common on phishing websites.
Best practice is to come up with a unique web design that is not easily comparable to the products main vendor that you are creating a service for. Once you have properly identified the site and changed the design you might be able to get unsuspended, but for now the site looks and feels like a phishing website.
Tbh, had you not posted here and I'd come across your site, I'd think something is off because of how close the imitation is. So maybe the solution is to more clearly state that you are not affiliated with Microsoft and maybe change the design a bit to not mimic Microsoft so much.
Going to Microsoft with a site like this might result in a cease and desist instead of them helping your cause.
A prominent "we aren't affiliated with Microsoft" disclaimer on the About Us and the homepage would go a really long way, before you have to start redesigning everything.
Beyond that maybe not using the Microsoft/Office logos so prominently would also help a ton, without requiring a lot of redesign. Or maybe adding your own logo to pair with the Microsoft ones you're using?
That would hopefully convey "we work really closely in the Microsoft ecosystem and are experts in it, but are a third party service that helps you find extra value that Microsoft won't". If I understand correctly, that's what your site helps people do? And also spelling that out in the non-affiliation disclaimer I think would be good too.
I think an actual human reviewer would have come to the same decision in this case.
It mentions phishing. Could mentioning Google in an add trigger something like this?
Hanlon's Razor also applies to automatic processes.
