Facebook ad account permanently restricted

Advertising access permanently restricted

People all over the world are talking about being permanently restricted on Facebook whether that’s on Reddit or Quora or many other sites.

Facebook will often give advertisers boiler plate warnings without anything specific stated for how you got flagged, why, or what to do about it. Sound familiar?

You are not the only one seeing, “Advertising access permanently restricted this is our final decision,” unfortunately it happens often due to machine logic for flagging.

One of the drawbacks of the co-dependence on AI is if you’re running Facebook ads, you are judged quick and without mercy – but you’re in luck because I helped the engineers who wrote these automations. And no matter which version of Mark Zuckerberg you go with, he won’t explain why you got banned, but I can.

The very best solution is always a preventative one. Not rushing to resubmit ads, sweating bullets. 

You DO need to audit first, complain about FB later.

Meaning – be 100% about what’s IN your funnel, how close it comes to the ban hammer, and what specifically to do to ensure your entire ad copy, creative and website follow Facebook’s ad policies to a T.

Just like my client Darryl CEO of King Memory found out, and shared on LinkedIn there are specific ways to work with Facebook policies without losing conversions or getting stuck in Facebook jail:

Advertising Access Permanently Restricted: Ad Accounts

Let’s discuss how to save time and money troubleshooting a restricted ad account.

Facebook ad account restricted – what does it mean? 

When your ad account on Facebook has been restricted it’s because specific actions or content triggered the automations to first score you, track you, rate you, evaluate your ad history and decide if you are a threat to the platform. You’ll lose money if you submit a previously rejected ad for review again without finding out first why it was banned. And you’ll waste time submitting a noncompliant ad back to Facebook.
The trick is to find out why the automations flagged your particular business model and fix this in your funnel.

If you’re seeing advertising access permanently restricted this is our final decision, that means there is something specific you did to trigger this.

Identifying the content, words, or actions that got you on the radar is the first step towards getting out of Facebook jail.

Facebook doesn’t approve your advertisements due to violating Facebook’s advertising policies

Facebook doesn’t personally care about you so it isn’t personal – with billions of ads to scan for policy on a daily basis, they are just trying to do the bare minimum to keep Facebook.com online.

Facebook Restrictions: Advertising access permanently restricted

Want to know a big miss I see ad agencies make for how they THINK about Facebook jail and ad bans?

Forgetting that Facebook has a global audience and is literally ONE website dealing with billions PER DAY accessing Facebook.com – and this leads to bandwidth issues for Facebook.

Want to avoid an Advertising access permanently restricted ban?

Keep in mind that the actions you take on Facebook have a ripple effect, and the help you get from Facebook depends on your ad account history, your region, the back log Facebook currently has, and internal technical glitches that may be wide spread.

I helped fix these when I was in tech at FB.

The problem is that if you immediately appeal an ad or ad account or disabled Business Manager without understanding the ad policies YOU MISS things you may be able to do RIGHT NOW to put you in a better light with Facebook.

Why Is My Facebook Advertising Account Restricted?

I’ve seen a thousand and one reasons why Facebook ad accounts get rejected. When Facebook accounts are restricted from advertising, what’s seldom talked about is the difference of ad policy enforcement per industry.

Given my history of working with thousands of ad agencies both while I was working AT Facebook and in my own practice, I have stats on which ad policies are triggered the most in specific niches. Like personal attributes flags being higher in weight loss niches.

Understanding how YOUR specific niche interacts with Facebook ad policy automations is KEY to staying out of Facebook jail and avoiding an Advertising access permanently restricted ban.

Advertising access permanently restricted: Myth Busting

Ok, I see A LOT of bullshit online by people guessing and making shit up about Facebook and Facebook ad policies, so I have to call them out if they are not providing solutions forAdvertising access permanently restricted.

This blog blatantly ripped me off, stealing my content and trying to mimic how I structure my blogs. Which ok, cool if you have to and you think I’m that legendary BUT the info ABOUT Facebook is wrong:

First of all, the best action is NOT to whine to Facebook about your problems. How has whining to Facebook worked so far?

• No answers
• Inaccurate info
• Advice that gets you banned worse

“They will help you reactivate your account,”

WOW. Total bullshit. Most of the time Facebook ad support is just throwing shots in the dark – again never having run an ad that made them money.

“Facebook has made it easier to review your account with the Account Quality page,”

FALSE

The Account Quality page in Business Manager is connected to the same or similar algorithm that governs Page Insights – which have ALWAYS been buggy and inaccurate. I’ve had ads perform at 2 cents per CPA and account quality said the ad was under performing.

So basically this entire section “Solutions to Restricted Facebook Account” offered…ZERO solutions. And it’s ignorant. And it copies my blog but provides bad info. Not a good look guys!

Definitely won’t help you solve Advertising access permanently restricted.

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.

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.
