Searching for a solution to getting a disabled facebook ad account? I’ve worked at Meta and even if Facebook won’t reply, bills pile up and clients demand answers, I can help guide you to a solution.
Make your ad account active in Meta Business Manager
Facebook ads have treated you well, and everything seems to be turning a profit when the ban bots suddenly hit you with a disabled Facebook ad account jeopardizing your ability to survive and make money. Damn!
To your eyes, the ads look great. You’re convinced you haven’t done anything wrong. Logging into Ad Manager you click Request Review but literally within seconds see:
Part of your frustration also stems from the fact that you’ve run this same ad many times before without an ad restriction! (read my last blog on ad account restrictions here).
So what gives?! You’d think if the customer is always right Facebook would try a little harder to help, but Facebook’s attitude about customer service may be a little different.
During my years working at Facebook I helped thousands of advertisers from SMBs to Fortune 500s solve Facebook ad issues (make sure to read How to Solve Facebook Ad Account Restriction As A Business).
What makes this a bit challenging is that Facebook doesn’t train the outsourced workers who answer your chats at Facebook ad support very well. Half the time they are guessing, and literally come from a sweatshop type call center, never having paid bills with money earned from paid media advertising.

Disabled Facebook Ad Account Guide
What to do if your Facebook Ad Account is disabled and everything you can do to reinstate including how to resolve payment issues, rejected ads, and get support.
Today I’ll share insights on what to do if your Facebook ad account gets disabled.
Just like my clients in cosmetic beauty have discovered, there are micro flags in ad copy and landing pages that have to be removed first before attempting to appeal or relaunch a brand with Facebook.
Even software engineers AT Facebook AND Twitter have reached out to me, asking for help with their disabled facebook ad accounts. That’s how bad the automation banning has gotten.

Disabled Facebook Ad Account First Steps
Before you begin
There is no grand “UN DO” button at the center of the universe to reverse the past – the reputation you have with Facebook based on your prior ads, and how often they went against policy isn’t something that can just be shaken and erased like a giant etcha-sketch. The past history will reflect on the options you have today – but I can help navigate here and find new options you may not have known existed.
Speaking of history, remember Cambridge Analytica? I was working at Facebook when that happened.
Supreme Court to hear Facebook appeal tied to Cambridge Analytica breach
The Supreme Court agreed to hear an appeal from FacebookThe Supreme Court agreed to hear an appeal from Facebook that is tied to how the social media platform disclosed the Cambridge Analytica data breach to investors.
Long after the breach became known to leadership, the suit alleges, Facebook continued to mention the possible harm from a major data breach in hypothetical terms. The court’s decision in the case, expected next year, could determine how much disclosure of damaging information on Securities and Exchange Commission forms is enough.
In 2019, Facebook agreed to pay $5.1 billion in civil penalties to settle charges by the Federal Trade Commission and SEC over the scandal.
The legal fight began following an international outcry from the company’s disclosure that the private information of millions of Facebook users was obtained by Cambridge Analytica, a data analytics firm that worked with Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.
The 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals sided with the investors, allowing their lawsuit to proceed.
I mention this to just remind you to stay up to date with the latest news from changes at Facebook. If this decision is reversed, it could have a trickle down effect on Facebook ad policies – or indicate that Facebook is about to roll out new Facebook ad policies to prepare for the upcoming election November 2024.
So if you’re looking at trusted sources like Sprout Social for Facebook ad tips like ad sizes, just remember – they won’t teach you Facebook ad policy. And won’t provide insights I do from working at Facebook.
The Reason Why Your Facebook Ad Account’s Disabled
Why does Facebook disable ad accounts? You’d think Meta would want your money instead of forcing folks to google Why is my Facebook ad account is disabled?
The short answer is that there are a lot of clickbait farms that use unethical practices which ruin it for everyone else. Even Sheryl Sandberg is leaving Meta.
Facebook Disabled Ad Account Explanation
The long answer is that Facebook creates specific automations their algorithm delivers that can’t distinguish an innocent mistake from those actually circumventing their systems. So, you end up with a disabled facebook ad account.

Recognize the signs of a disabled Facebook ad account
You aren’t trying to cheat the system you’re just running ads for your clients right?
(For a behind the scenes on Facebook’s algorithm click here)
But you don’t have to wonder in the dark trying to avoid Facebook bans. As Liana Lang, CEO of Power Up Strategy Inc. said, “Please meet Trevor, my ‘secret weapon’ for all things Facebook compliance. I highly recommend hiring him to help you out especially if you plan to be running ads.”

How Facebook Automations Flag Disabled Facebook Ad Account
If every ad went under human review instead of robots, you’d have a lot less ad accounts disabled.
But the reality is, machines are making most of these decisions based on SQL logic and the Facebook Ad Policies here
(Which are different from the Community Standards that control what appears on personal profiles on the Newsfeed. There are some overlaps but they aren’t identical).
Disabled Facebook Ad Account: Payments
When choosing a payment method, make sure:
There is a new issue affecting advertisers everywhere: Banks are rejecting preauth charges from Facebook ads. So before choosing a payment method, make sure to review the advertising history of that particular debit or credit card.
Disabled Facebook Ad Account BM:
Business Manager
An important thing to note: Once your Facebook Business Manager is disabled, any Facebook Business Page still inside it is permanently restricted from advertising.
The reason is because once a BM is banned, you won’t be able to edit it. This means you can’t remove people, or FB Pages from it – FYI.
Disabled Facebook Ad Account and PAS Formulas
Perhaps the ad copy kicked pain points too hard following the Pain-Agitate-Solution formula & now Facebook feels like you’re calling Facebook users out too negatively violating Personal Attributes ad policies.
Using Eugene Schwartz’s Breakthrough Advertising techniques on Facebook can get you a disabled facebook ad account because Facebook or Meta is its own ecosystem.

Understanding Facebook’s Ad Account Policies
Immediate Steps to Take After Your Ad Account is Disabled
Now you think, maybe it wasn’t an ads issue at all. Perhaps it was something else – and you search for “facebook account disabled community standards.” These are the policies that govern everyday usage of Facebook.
But, still you don’t get any closer to the finish line searching for “facebook ad account disabled for policy violation” or “facebook ad account disabled 2024.” What about ad account recovery? Is it possible to get your old account back?
You google “facebook ad account disabled appeal,” and “why is my facebook ad account disabled.” Still nothing. What gives?? I’ll answer that but first, let’s discuss the digital real estate you’re running ads on.
Facebook expert and influencer Jon Loomer admits Facebook’s automations are wrecking havoc on ads. Even Facebook’s own Advantage+ automation meant to help you get more reach often glitches and just shows your ads to clickbait farms, optimizing for cheap 3rd world country clicks.
Immediate steps to take after your facebook ad account’s disabled: don’t appeal, audit your ads because you need to both identify WHAT got you on Meta’s radar AND the severity of the flag before taking action.
It’s super key to determine why you got on the radar before appealing a disabled facebook ad account.

Navigating through Facebook ad complications
Anything can go wrong when you have a website with billions of users every day and millions of advertisers running ads on it. Pattern-recognition-protocol is a unique system I’ve created that helps decode how and why the automations ban you, based on years of working at Meta and working with thousands of advertisers in every imaginable field of business.
While you don’t have access to the PRP yet, as it isn’t public, you can gleam a few tips from it:
Always review the pattern of bans for your industry before creating a marketing plan
Make sure your social media managers know what NOT to post
Balance conversions with compliance for ROI and keeping Facebook ads active
Machine-learning and neurolinguistic programming are what decide 99% of the Facebook bans, not people. You have to learn how to think like a machine to be successful here.
Still hitting a brick wall with restricted Facebook ad accounts? Protect your most valuable asset – your money-maker – and schedule a complimentary discovery call now, while I still have space on my calendar. You will learn a TON even if we don’t work together. My calendar is here.
Disabled Facebook Ad Account: Intellectual Property
An Important Fact On Facebook’s IP
I’ve noticed many feel like they have a right to post on Facebook and run ads, as if Meta is a public school or government property.
Something important to note:
Facebook is a private website. Acting like it’s a public entity ups the risk of a disabled facebook ad account.
By using Facebook – as a Profile or FB Biz Page you implicitly agree to Facebook’s Terms of Service – which means they can do whatever the hell they want on their website.
It’s private property just like someone’s lawn or land.
In Texas, you have a right to shoot someone trespassing on your property – think about that in terms of what Facebook is allowed to do on their own platform.
Disabled Facebook Ad Account: Appeals
Submitting an Appeal to Facebook
New Policies Affecting Disabled Facebook Ad Accounts
Moving too fast can not only cause car accidents, but also get Facebook bots to flag you as either a machine or clickbait farm. So, when you are starting to see some ad rejections, instead of immediately ignoring them or submitting new ads, do your best to diagnose why they were rejected.
Once you have a good idea, locate where those flags may be in other parts of your funnel. Also, make sure you have a privacy policy Facebook’s machines will approve of. Don’t know how to do this? Schedule a discovery call with me now right here.
Disabled Facebook Ad Account: Road Map
From Disabled Facebook Ad Account to Appeal
For whatever reason, breaking ad policy rules, glitches, aliens – you are now stuck with a disabled ad account and Facebook rejected your appeal. Even if you went to Social Media Marketing World they couldn’t tell you how to fix this.
Why is that?
Facebook rejects your appeals because you clicked on a button inside Business Manager to appeal it and never talked or chatted with a live human being.
“My facebook ad account was disabled!” you scream at the ceiling. Your web browser history shows searches for:
“Ad Account restricted”
“your access can’t be reinstated because too much time has passed since we restricted. Your Access Can’t Be Reinstated: Confirm your identity.”
“facebook ad account disabled for unusual activity”
“my facebook ad account disabled”
“facebook account disabled how to recover”
But you’re still stuck.
What happens now?
Automations are reviewing your Facebook ads instead of Facebook ad support, and when you appeal with a button instead of a person, the automation reviews that too and rejects it instantly.
When you have a disabled facebook ad account, it’s 95% chance a machine not a human flagged you.

How to Recover a Disabled Facebook Ad Account Part 1
Outdated articles like this one will gloss over what to do without going into more detail – so I’m going to give you more insight on Facebook ad accounts disabled and what to do.
How to Recover Disabled Facebook Ad Accounts part 2
…and what NOT to do when appealing ad accounts.
Many websites will tell you to just click “Recover Account” (like this one) but that’s incorrect!
The advice in that article tells you to fill out a form and wait to see if you get assigned a Facebook rep – that is rolling the dice and likely to make your disabled ad account unrecoverable.
Also this article gives incorrect advice as well telling you to verify your Business Manager after getting an ad account disabled.
That’s the dumbest advice ever (sorry not sorry Emily).
– That’s like going 120 MPH yelling out the window at the cop:
“I promise I won’t break the speed limit again officer!” while speeding.
When your ad account is disabled – you are asking Facebook to trust you that your business is legit, even after you’ve set the precedent that you can’t follow their rules.
You think Facebook is going to act in your favor? Prolly not.
You’ll get stuck in a cycle of the spinning wheel of death for Facebook trying to both verify a Business Manager with a disabled ad account and review your appeal to that disabled ad account. Your facebook ad manager account disabled, no ads live – what to do?
If you want to verify your Business Manager after your ad account is reactivated, or on a fresh new Business Manager – sure, that can help.
But don’t do that while you’re appealing a disabled ad account – be smart. Clicking Request Review is a big mistake.
You’ll enter the never ending loop where either you’ll wait forever without a response from Facebook.
OR
Maybe Facebook will ask you to verify your Business Manager, then accept your credentials but never reply.Now you’re stuck with a Facebook Business Manager not verified, and an ad account disabled.
Your clients are screaming “Why aren’t my ads running?? I’m losing money every second Facebook ads aren’t live selling my products!!”
Diagnose The Problem
You’re want answers to why you got banned, when everything hangs in the balance of a billion dollar social media company’s decisions who isn’t replying or telling you what you did wrong or how to fix it.
Maybe you found the article I linked above and hit “Request Review.” Don’t do that until you audit your funnel.
That has a slim chance of recovering a disabled facebook ad account. While it may work, if you don’t know why your ad account was restricted, then you will get the Facebook ban hammer again.
Free eBook: Top 5 Reasons Agencies Fail at Facebook
Preventing Future Ad Account Disabling
Regularly prescreen your ads for ad policy, and marry conversions with compliance. Never request review without a contact at Facebook. You’re leaving the fate of your ad account in the hands of a machine, a bot that will automatically make a decision based on its programming logic without any human context. (Also read: Facebook Disabled My Account Next Steps)
On a rare chance, sometimes the machine will instantly reactivate your ad account but most of the time you have 99% higher chance contacting a rep at Facebook Ad Support via the Facebook Business Help Center.
So don’t click on “Recover Account,” without first doing a damage assessment.
Make a closed ad account active
The success in getting a disabled ad account to become active again is determined by how quickly you cleaned your funnel from the flags that existed within it, at the time your ad account was disabled. Typically, within 48 hours is the best chance you have. (Read my Common Ad Policies article Larry Kim linked to here)
There are wheels within wheels for how you get flagged and one of the most important ways to NOT get banned, I’ll reveal next.
Determine Why You Were Flagged BEFORE Appealing
Let me RE-EMPHASIZE:
If you don’t determine why you were flagged first BEFORE contacting Facebook ad support, you’re going to repeat history like GroundHog’s Day.
HERE’S WHY:
If FB reactivates your ad account, and you have the same flags still in your funnel the automations will continue to scan your ads and flag you.
This time maybe disabling your Business Manager too. That’s another loop you can get caught in. Your friend told you that his “facebook account disabled suspicious payment activity” message just showed up in his Business Settings.
There has been a recent payment method glitch that has been giving many ad agencies a disabled facebook ad account or two – so that’s a whole other can of worms there. Now, your Facebook Business Manager is disabled too and you’re starting to lose it.
Free eBook: Top 5 Reasons Agencies Fail at Facebook
And you’re really freaking out that his facebook ad account was disabled for no reason. You’re hoping the warning saying “your fb ad account permanently disabled” will go away.
This is what you do instead when handling a disabled facebook ad account:
Step 1. – Navigate to Facebook’s Business Help Page here:
Step 2. – Select your ad account from the drop down menu:
Step 3. – Select the issue:
Step 4. – Click on Contact Support:
A lot of people can’t figure out how to even get this far – owners of businesses that spend $100K a month and up have told me they can’t find this page when their facebook ad account keeps getting disabled. For my essential guide to Facebook ad policies click here.
You want to make sure you’re logged in to the right account – you may need to use an active ad account in the same Business Manager to contact support.
Also bookmark this link that as of 2024 is a direct route to contacting support.
If you try and still can’t get a person in Facebook ad support to open up a chat with you, then you can try out this Facebook Ad Account Disabled form here.
But keep in mind, the Facebook Ad Support reps are working at Facebook and have a more effective internal form they submit to the Facebook ad policy department who actually makes the decisions.

So contact Facebook Ad Support FIRST.

Tired of reading articles? I worked with the engineers who created Facebook’s ban bots and can get your ads live and generating revenue again. Just book a discovery call here.
So you got on a chat with Facebook Ad Support – sweet! But keep in mind you are not talking to decision makers. Maybe your facebook account disabled due to copyright infringement or your facebook ad account disabled payment method triggered this.
You’re googling “facebook ad account disabled reddit” when you get hit with a new flag: “facebook ad account disabled circumventing systems.”
Damn it!
You’re all heated chatting with Facebook ad support but they can’t help. Remember:
These are gatekeepers that often don’t speak English fluently (if you’re coming from America, or the UK). They won’t understand a lot of what you’re saying.
And at best, these are entry level workers that can understand maybe, 40% of what you’re talking about on a good day when you ask them how to fix facebook ad account disabled.
If you get lucky, you may talk to someone who gets 70% of what you say when chatting, “facebook disabled my ad account for no reason!”
– but they’ve never run ads that have actual ROI –
Facebook Ad Support agents aren’t in the business world, they aren’t entrepreneurs and don’t have a vested interest in whether or not your ad account is active or disabled. Or your facebook account disabled upon creation issues or your facebook account disabled login problems.
How nice you are to them, how simple you make your explanations will play a role in how receptive Facebook is to your appeal.
Their goal is to close as many cases as possible – quantity over quality. So be respectful, polite, and also realistic when it comes to disabled facebook ad account review time.
But, if you manage to say the right words and prep Facebook ad support, on rare occasions they can help you recover from a disabled facebook ad account.

Make an ad account active
Anyone who says they can instantly recover your ad account is lying. I have an emergency service for this that only works if you’re within the first 48 hours or less of getting your ad account disabled.
If you are within that window, reach out to me and state this in the form
How Do I Recover My Disabled Facebook Ads Account?
Recovery is what most are googling when trying to figure out how to solve a disabled Facebook ad account. The hard truth is that prevention is a lot easier than recovery. From a business perspective, Facebook doesn’t have a lot to gain by reactivating a disabled facebook ad account that the automations flagged correctly.
Now, it’s frustrating that Facebook won’t reveal to you WHAT was flagged and why, but that’s something I can help with. Schedule your complimentary discovery call here.
What Happens After Appealing Disabled Accounts
Pause yelling “My facebook ad account got disabled!” and take a seat.
Your ad account could either be:
• Reactivated within 24 hours because it was a Facebook glitch
• Reactivated incorrectly because Facebook Ad Support missed the flags you do have
• Or it’s “your ads are violating ad policy” or “this business model isn’t supported” and you stay disabled
What To Do If Your Ad Account Appeal Gets Rejected
Realistically you have about a 50/50 chance appealing any ad account that’s disabled. Here are some factors that play into why your disabled ad account will be reactivated or permanently disabled:
♦ How many previous rejected ads you’ve had
♦ What your ad account’s hidden score is (a ratio of rejected vs approved ads)
♦ If you conveyed your situation correctly to Facebook ad support who are gatekeepers not DMs
♦ If you determined first exactly which ad policy you’re flagged for (this helps FB ad support reps make a case for you)
♦ Did you clean your funnel (landing pages etc) of the ad policy violations before contacting Facebook? Do this first if your ad account disabled for policy violation.
♦ Your business model – certain business models are under more scrutiny than others (how to make money online, special ad categories etc).
♦ Did you circumvent systems and immediately try to run ads after being rejected?
I could go on – the important thing to consider is how do you move on if your appeal is rejected and you don’t have an ad account to advertise with. You’ll want to try a couple of different things.
Now if your ad account disabled payment method issue is happening…that’s a whole other bag of worms. If your ad account was disabled for something minor…
(You’d have to know what you got flagged for, specifically, which ad copy triggered this flag and the weight of each ad policy flag).
– You could possibly start advertising from another ad account within the same Business Manager – but you need to warm up the new ad account with specific ads that achieve this before going into conversion ads.
But, in the event that either your Facebook ad account was disabled for a bigger issue (like mentioning covid) or you just don’t freakin know because you’re not a Facebook ad policy expert – you’ll want to create a new Facebook Business Manager.
If your ad account’s disabled, facebook may give you leeway. If you’re looking for the scoop on the top reasons that Facebook ads get rejected click here.
But if your instagram ad account disabled for unusual activity, you may have a security leak.
Keep in mind – if you don’t identify what triggered the automations to flag you the first time, it won’t matter how many new Business Managers or ad accounts you create – you’ll get shut down again and again.
You’ve got to identify the triggers the automations are acting on before appealing, remove them from your funnel, then appeal.
If that doesn’t work out, start fresh, warming up new ad accounts (possibly in a new Biz Manager) that are free of the same flags you got shut down for in the first place.
Again, an ad account disabled payment method issue is different than the type of disabled facebook ad account issues you face with 2024 flags. Facebook has changed a lot since even just 2021.
Some common flags you may have heard other advertisers get caught with are something like, “facebook ad account disabled circumventing systems.” That’s why you need to find the flags first before appealing or even that appeal will be viewed as circumventing.
I see a lot of bad advice when folks just google, “facebook ad account disabled reddit” or “facebook ad account disabled for no reason” because it becomes just a cig break at work to complain, rather than solve the issue.
While FB and IG are owned by Meta, in fact Instagram has it’s own separate process for how automations flag you with an ad account disabled instagram issue. Are your Facebook ads blocked? Click here for expert guidance.
Once you do identify the specific flags that got you in trouble you can advertise again:
✅ In a new ad account in the same Business Manager if you had a minor flag cause the ad account to get disabled, or
✅ A new Business Manager and new ad account in the new Business Manager (don’t use your personal ad account attached to your profile – create new ones in Business Manager) or
✅ fresh start with a coworker’s account you want to learn from your mistakes here and not repeat them to exit the loop and advertise again.
If your facebook ad accounts disabled how to enable it really comes from knowing the ad policies. And a disabled Facebook ad account in 2024 faces its own challenges from the i0S update in Apple, to election years.

Ad Account Restricted Facebook FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How to fix ad account disabled on facebook
Your first step should always be to stop active ads running with the same copy as the rejected ad, then audit your funnel for flags, and appeal using the strategy outlined in the appeal section of the FAQs
2. How to enable my disabled facebook ad account
If you have a spare ad account in your Facebook Business Manager that you can run ads from, feel free to. BUT, identify the micro and major flags FIRST, so as not to repeat the same mistake.

3. How to appeal a disabled facebook ad account
As far as how to appeal a disabled Facebook ad account, you’ll get 48 hours to make your appeal. The best strategy is to communicate to Meta | Facebook that:
A. You understand WHY you were banned.
B. You are committed to following the policies from here on out.
C. You have identified and REMOVED the offending content from your funnel.
You can also get some top tips on facebook ad policy in this complimentary eBook: Top 5 Reasons Agencies Fail at Facebook
4. how to get disabled ad account up and running
Depending on how long your ad account was disabled, sometimes, if your appeal is written correctly, the appeal itself CAN potentially get you reactivated, if you understand to communicate with Facebook ad support correctly.
5. How Many Policy Violations Before Account is Shut Down?
Typically, it’s a 1 to 10 ratio. For every single rejected ad that you get, you’ll want 10 Facebook ads that are approved. After a pattern of behavior is established by machine learning, from Meta’s automations, you may spiral rapidly into Facebook jail if your ratios aren’t correct. 3 consecutive ads getting rejected risks your ad account getting disabled. But, it also depends on how severe the ban is.
And, if this still all seems too confusing, your clients are yelling at you to get ads live to bring in money, simply schedule a complimentary Facebook discovery call here
6. How to remove restriction on facebook ad account
As far as removing a restriction on a Facebook ad account, if we’re talking about a disabled ad account, well, you can rehabilitate your funnel and then appeal, possibly getting it reactivated if you do this SMART (I have methods that work if you’re in the appeal window). But as far as removing a restriction from Facebook ads, see the previous FAQ answer: you need to get in a positive approval-cycle ratio.
7. how long does facebook take to review restricted ad account
Now, ask yourself, is it an election year? Have there been over 20,000 Meta employees laid off? Did you word your appeal using specific language Facebook ad support can and will respond better to? These are the factors in play. Typically, you get an answer within a week. If you have a more severe ban or are in the special ad categories, you may get an answer faster but it won’t be one you like. Severe bans end up as permanent restrictions and they deliver that ban hammer faster than other lighter Facebook ad policy restrictions.
8. how to fix your access can’t be reinstated because too much time has passed since we restricted your account
In a situation like this, your recovery options depend on what is banned:
a) Facebook Ad Account
b) Facebook Business Page
c) Facebook Business Manager
d) Facebook profile
So, each one may have a different recovery option, depending on your situation, and type of ban it is, as well as your particular niche or business’s vertical, and the health of the accounts before the ban. Want to get a pathway to get Facebook ads live? Schedule your complimentary discovery call here.
9. How To Get Your Disabled Facebook Ad Account Back
First, let me also address the elephant in the room: personal and emotional attachments to disabled ad accounts. I’ve worked with tons of Fortune 500 level companies, and the amount of hair pulling and FML-ing over ONE ad account being disabled, is incredible. Sometimes, it’s faster, and cheaper, to just start a new ad account, and relaunch, rather than recover a tainted asset.
That being said, the same answer applies here to the instructions above, for appeals
10. How to unblock your Facebook ad account
Now, unblocking an ad account, may be possible if you get in fast enough with the right kind of messaging to Facebook ad support. While they are the gatekeepers, and don’t have any real power, they CAN talk to the right folks who, if you word your appeal right, can unblock your Facebook ad account. And of course, if you need next-level assistance, I’m always available to chat and see if it’s a good fit here.
