Also, keep in mind, you need to stay up to date on Facebook’s new ad policies.
For instance, they just changed the game on financial services as well as health and wellness as I wrote about here. And after Mark Zuckerberg’s PSA that fact checkers were going away, A LOT of marketers made critical errors I explain in this article
This goes for Google and SEO as well – you need to stay updated. Have you heard of the new AI search?
Google’s New AI Search
Google released its newest AI search feature this month, but not everyone has access to it (yet).
It’s called AI Mode.
To use it, you have to be in the US, over the age of 18, and opt-in via Labs—for now.
Just like AI Overviews went mainstream after a year in Beta, AI Mode could be the future of Google Search or at least play a major role in it… and you need to be ready.
Here’s what it looks like:
Once enabled, you can pull up AI Mode results just like you would toggle between other results such as images, shopping, videos, news, etc.
Unlike Google’s AI Overviews, AI Mode is available for all search queries.
Users can ask follow-up questions and fine-tune information via a chat interface, similar to ChatGPT and other AI chatbots. AI Mode is based on a custom version of Gemini 2.0, Google’s latest AI model.
Here’s what this means for your business:
- Google currently has a 93.57% search market share, but people—especially younger generations—are increasingly adopting AI search. (ChatGPT is now getting an estimated 37.5 million search-like prompts per day, according to recent data published in Search Engine Land.)
- This feature gives Google a way to go head-to-head with conversational AI tools like ChatGPT.
- As you can see in the screenshots above, Google’s AI Mode can be a referral source of traffic for your business. A recent NP Digital study showed that between September 2024 and February 2025, referral traffic from generative AI rose by 123%—this is not an area you can ignore.
By the way, I also appear in ChatGPT when you search for who is the best authorities on fixing a Meta Ad Account restriction:

Your Facebook Advertising Got Restricted…Now What?
If you’ve been restricted from advertising on Facebook all your active ads will be paused and you won’t be able to create new ads. Often you’ll see “ad error” next to the ads that used to be live.
After reading my Facebook Ad Policies Checklist you may have started to see which ad policy applied to your Campaigns that led to seeing your advertising access is restricted.
Now, the reason why you got shut down will be one of many. Each scenario is different.
Your advertising access is restricted: Pro Tip
You may be asking why each scenario is different. Well, there are many types of Facebook ads and Facebook’s ad policies apply differently to each industry which is important to know before you try to remove a restriction on a Facebook ad account.
And I’m not even talking about Special Ad Categories (real estate, social issues, employment, loans etc).
How Facebook’s machines apply their striking automation really does depend on a number of factors which I’ll get into next.
You may not know this, but, being more or less compliant affects your CPC, CPL (cost-per-lead), and Cost of Acquisition. The less compliant you are – even if you’re not banned…yet – the more Facebook will charge you for distributing your ads, because they’ll feel it’s content Facebook users won’t want to see, if it isn’t fully compliant.
And, ad costs have been going up. On average, 91% of industries saw increases in CPL in 2023.
But, you don’t have to guess on compliance anymore, as I can help you diagnose and recover from Facebook ad account restrictions like the your advertising access is restricted flag.
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 did I get myself restricted from advertising on Facebook?
You’d be surprised how many businesses are running ads based on what worked 5 years ago. Just like advances in technology rapidly change the social landscape, so do changes in Facebook’s ad policies.
Even if you went to Social Media Marketing World this year (I’ll be there, come up say hi), none of the (amazing) presenters would be able to explain to you how you got banned.
None of the experts could, because they haven’t worked side-by-side with the software engineers who operate the automations that ban you.
But I have.
And I’ll help you, drawing from my work at Meta, and one common theme was how fast facebook ad policies change, the and effect this has on businesses like yours. That’s why it seems like you get your advertising access is restricted flags out of nowhere.
What was allowed last year may not be compliant this year. And if you’re still running ads that used to be compliant, Facebook will show no mercy in shutting you down ASAP. And even retroactively punishing your ad account by flagging old ads that aren’t even active, if they violate new current ad policies. This is what leads to ad bans marketers get, who then try to remove a restriction on a Facebook ad account.
Also a good roadmap: What to Do After Violating Facebook’s Ad Policies
Your advertising access is restricted: Flag Type
You can get your ads rejected for violating the spam flags, the Personal Attributes policies, or Facebook could have flagged you as an MLM and all you see is: your advertising access is restricted
Your eyes would pop out if you knew the list of banned words Facebook has that associate you with a pyramid scheme. If you accidentally used one of these words, even 1 word would be enough to get you shut down.
Ideally, you’d have your ads prescreened for Facebook ad policy compliance before going live. Then, you’d never have to try to learn how to fix the advertising access is restricted facebook flag.
This can be problematic for many advertisers because you can read all the books on Facebook ads, read all of facebook ad policies and still not get answers.
You can study the top Facebook experts like Mari Smith (one of my clients), but even then, you won’t find anyone there who has worked with thousands of businesses recovering from ad account restrictions or who has worked at Meta with the engineers maintaining these ban bot automations like I have.
That being said, if you want to skip the rest of the article, and get a solution today just book a free discovery call, and if you’re eligible, I’ll guide you every step of the way to get Facebook ads live again and money coming into your bank account from ads safe from the automations.

Your advertising access is restricted: Clues
How can I tell if my account was restricted?
When you see your advertising access is restricted, Facebook is supposed to send you an email, you may not always get an email telling you that your account is restricted. That’s why the your advertising access is restricted flag exists. But, going to Ads Manager, or Business Manager you’ll see this warning when your account is restricted:
And obviously, not being able to run ads and having all your live ads shut down is a pretty clear indicator you got the your advertising access is restricted flag on Facebook.
Part of the ninja skill involved when successfully trying to remove a restriction on a Facebook ad account comes down to accurately diagnosing what got you in Facebook jail – before FB bots have a chance to permanently restrict your ad account or Page.

Your advertising access is restricted: Meaning
What does having my account restricted mean?
If you have a restricted Facebook account, you are banned from using Facebook Ads, Facebook Pixel, Facebook Business Manager, and more. BUT…
The severity of your account restriction depends on:
• Your vertical | Type of Business
• The ad account history
• The type of ban
• The number of bans in the past 3 months
• The amount of approved ads
And a few other factors. Not all bans are the same, and not all Facebook restricted accounts have the same recovery process – or relaunching method when learning how to solve an advertising access is restricted facebook flag.

Your advertising access is restricted: What to do
What do I do if my Facebook account is restricted from advertising?
STOP!!! The 1st thing you need to do is STOP taking further actions on Business Manager and Ads Manager.
So many of my clients before they were clients dug themselves into a much deeper hole scrambling around with last ditch efforts to save their ad accounts. Which in reality, only made things worse. Yeah – you need to stop and assess your funnel FIRST when dealing with a your advertising access is restricted flag.
Also – do not believe Facebook ad support, they can get you in worse shape because their advice is ignorant. None of them have recovered from a Facebook ban or even run ads with skin in the game.
They never made real profit from Facebook ads and only read textbook replies – I wrote some of these replies authoring internal documents for process flows at Facebook when I worked there in ads.

New Fees for Boosted Posts on FB & Instagram on Apple IOS
Meta said that it will start charging a 30 percent fee when advertisers pay to boost the visibility of their posts in Facebook’s and Instagram’s iOS apps.
The change, which goes into effect soon stems from a 2022 App Store update where Apple extended its typical 30 percent cut of digital purchases to boosted posts, which are essentially ads.
The change particularly targeted Meta and other social apps that let people pay in app to increase the reach of their content. Meta notes in a statement shared with The Verge that small business owners and influencers who want to purchase a boost on iOS will now be billed through Apple, “which retains a 30% service charge on the total ad payment, before any applicable taxes.”
It’s like when gas prices went up, and every food delivery restaurant just charged you more, same as Uber & Lyft. Given that Facebook ad policy violations DO drive up your ad costs, that’s why now, more than ever you need to be compliant, because it’s more expensive when you’re not.
ALSO: Be careful whose advice you take when reading articles online. I’ve seen many marketing blogs online, giving the wrong advice from hacks just GUESSING on what to do. Or worse, regurgitating bad advice they read on Reddit or in YouTube comments.
If you google “How to Remove Restriction on Facebook Ad Account,” more than one social media magazine is posting inaccurate advice that will jeopardize your brand even more. For example:
What the @#$%&! is this?! You are googling “how to remove restriction on Facebook ad account,” and the result tells you to publish a damn Facebook Page????!!!! Soooo irrelevant. This is irritating af to businesses because it isn’t the correct answer. At all.
Another prime example, SocialSurge Marketing gives bad advice about how to remove restriction on facebook ad account:
This is bad advice. SocialSurge Marketing says that if you lost your rights to advertise unnecessarily they will reinstate you. Incorrect. Banning is done 99% of the time by machines – they have no moral base or conscience about what is fair or unfair.
SocialSurge Marketing also says above to “just try…to wait it out and see if your restriction is only temporary.” Incorrect. Talk to some people who have been banned – some wait over 6 months with any reply. Waiting doesn’t solve shit when you’re trying to remove a restriction on a Facebook ad account.
It’s dumb trust – Facebook makes money in the billions they have little to no investment in caring if you speedily get back up advertising or never run ads again. Meta has got money to burn.
Also SocialSurge Marketing saying you should Request Review is a big mistake. Because if you click on “Request Review” you’ll get ONE machine to review ANOTHER machine’s decision. That’s like asking the fox to guard the hen house.
You think a Facebook bot is going to side with a human over another Facebook bot and remove a restriction on a Facebook ad account? WRONG. I’ll tell you what to do next that is a much better option.
Or you can also watch my YouTube video that went semi-viral organically on the BS of suggesting Request Review here:
Your advertising access is restricted: Troubleshoot
To troubleshoot your restricted account:
The first step is to audit your funnel and identify the biggest risks when it comes to Facebook ad policy compliance. If you don’t know why you got flagged you won’t have very much to go on when attempting to appeal or remove a restriction on a Facebook ad account.
Review the Facebook ad policies that apply to your business specifically and determine which one the automations caught and flagged you for.
Still a little lost? I’ve created many Ad Guides on Facebook ad policy you can check out.
When you appeal, you gotta know WHY you were shut down FIRST. Most ad agencies have it BACKWARDS. They go in angry, demanding to be told why their accounts were restricted. And asking that their accounts get restored.
You really have to find out for yourself FIRST before appealing, because that will be the heart of your appeal: “I know what I may have done wrong and I’ve learned from it.” This will help when trying to remove a restriction on a Facebook ad account.
On Appealing: Chat in with Facebook Ad Support and get the agent you contact to submit the appeal for you instead of clicking Request Review. This will up your chances by a factor of 100.
Already completely banned?
If you are running ads and spending $100K a year or more on ads, I can help with that.
Your advertising access is restricted: Identity
Confirm your identity
I have one word for you: DON’T. Well at least, not before taken certain steps first.
You may be one of the lucky 2% that actually start confirming your identity and slip through the cracks. But most people?
Once you hit that button it’s game over. Facebook will never confirm your identity because their form is broken and doesn’t transfer the data (like your driver’s license) to Facebook itself. And that definitely isn’t a reliable method to remove a restriction on a Facebook ad account.
There are other ways to get your ads live – all white hat – which are much better than trying to Confirm Your Identity. Well, at least, don’t try to confirm your identity without help from someone who knows how this system works, or you’ll end up in the endless loop.
Are you hacked or recovering from a cybersecurity hack from one of those bastards in Pakistan, Vietnam, Indonesia, or the Philippines? Sadly, it is a HUGE epidemic right now from those specific locations, including Malaysia. Read my full guide on what to do if your Facebook account is restricted from being hacked here.
Your advertising access is restricted: Verification
Complete verification
Facebook’s ad policies will tell you to complete verification but like I said above, and admiral Ackbar reiterates:
Simply verifying a Facebook Business Manager will not remove a restriction on a Facebook ad account.
Your advertising access is restricted: Security
Remove a Restriction on a Facebook Ad Account Security
Secure your account
This is a new thing: If you’re a user of a Business Manager account that’s over 90 days old, you may need to enable two-factor authentication to meet Facebook’s security requirements. If you don’t, Meta may restrict your access to Business Manager tools for security purposes.
To reinstate your account, you’ll need to enable two-factor authentication.
If you haven’t submitted your IDs for the verify identity trap, enabling 2FA can sometimes restore your account. I’ve seen it happen – it isn’t reliable as the only solution, but it can help. As long as you don’t put a device, or email that you no longer have access to on your account! !
That’s another trap. Advertisers try to enable 2FA to get their ad accounts back but don’t realize they have an old email associated with their Personal Profile that they don’t have access to. Or an old phone number from a smartphone they no longer have.
You are royally @#$%&! if you do this because Facebook will show no mercy if you tell them, “I don’t have access to this email/device anymore.” Definitely not a solution to remove a restriction on a Facebook ad account.
It’s another good reason for you to make sure that your info is up to date before advertising, before appealing and before enabling 2FA.
Your advertising access is restricted: Content
Violating content
Facebook’s Violating Content Policies are a joke. You have no guidance here, it just says:
Advertisers can’t:
- Severely violate our advertising policies
- Repeatedly violate our advertising policies
You will have a lot more guidance from the articles I’ve written on specific steps to follow Facebook ad policy rather than these generic-ass statements. I love Jon Loomer’s content – and he’s great for learning Facebook tips – well John’s expert advice on why Facebook restricts your ad spending is also relevant to ad policies. If you’re on the radar, Facebook ups CPC costs and limits ad spend too.
So, what specific policies apply to your business? You better find out if you want to remove a restriction on a Facebook ad account.
When it comes to account authenticity Facebook wants to make sure the government name on your ID or Driver’s License is the same as the Facebook profile. Matching this does help, as a small step towards trying to remove a restriction on a Facebook ad account.
Ever had someone on your Business Manager get shut down elsewhere, on another Business Manager, and have the Facebook bots follow that one person back to your Business Manager and shut it down?
Even if your Business Manager WAS compliant?
Ouch. Facebook started tracking / stalking advertisers who got shut down on 1 Business Manager and then assuming guilt by association.
Violating networks or associations is Facebook’s policy to automatically assume if someone has a Facebook ban, anyone they are connected to on Facebook is by default, also a bad actor. It’s BS, I know, but that’s their policy and it affects how easy it is to remove a restriction on a Facebook ad account or not.

Your advertising access is restricted: Unusual Activity
Almost 100% of the time this is because you logged into Facebook, either your personal Profile or Business Manager or the Facebook Business Page from a location different from your regular house and local haunts.
And if you have a credit card number banned.
Solution: get a new credit card that’s fresh and clean, and also only login to Facebook from one location (or 1 city rather).
If you haven’t had a chance yet, read my break down of Common Facebook Ad Policy Violations [Explained]
But, beyond that, let me just say, don’t lose hope in Facebook ads. Yes, the Apple I0S update was a fiasco for Facebook advertisers, and the removal of 3rd party cookies from Chrome in the near future will require some pivots to continue to be successful.
Even so, in 2023, the potential total audience that could be reached by Facebook ads was 1.98 billion and is only increasing this year.
So, it really becomes a matter of just fine tuning your Facebook compliance skills to continue raking in that dough from ad profits without having to remove a restriction on a Facebook ad account. If you do have a restricted ad account, you’ll want to look into appeals – which can be hit or miss without my guidance – so here are some tips.
Your advertising access is restricted: Appeal
How to appeal advertising restrictions
So, the dumbasses like SocialSurge Marketing that just copy and paste Facebook’s verbatim copy on their policies page are copying this text from Meta:
“If you believe your Business Account, ad account, Page or user account was incorrectly restricted, you may be able to request a review of the decision in Account Quality.”
Your best bet to appeal advertising restrictions if your ad account is restricted, is to audit your funnel first. Identify why you were shut down, which part of your funnel triggered it, then appeal to a person on Facebook ad support chat, not request review.
Speaking of which:
Your advertising access is restricted: Request a review
Request a review
More idiotic advice from Facebook:
“If your account is restricted due to a policy violation, you may be able to request a review.”
That’s like asking the original evil Terminator to review John Connor as he is hunting Connor.
Now – I’m not saying that it won’t ever work. About 1 percent of people who request review, DO get their accounts back. But, I’ve worked with 10s of 1000s of advertisers and the stats show requesting review just locks you into a permanently restricted status unless you know how to do it strategically in a way that gets real results.

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.

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 after a your advertising access is restricted flag
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

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 after your advertising access is restricted flag
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 and fix your advertising access is restricted
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.
