Anyone running a business on Facebook has likely restricted their Facebook account from ads at least once. Have you identified the cause and found an appropriate solution?
In the following article, Dali Agency will outline the common reasons for Facebook ad restrictions and provide solutions for each case. Stay tuned!
What causes Facebook to restrict accounts from running ads?
A restricted Facebook Account simply means that the account will have limited permissions when running ads. This doesn’t mean you are completely banned from advertising; you can still run campaigns, but the results may not be optimal. A restricted account can lead to low campaign performance, failure to reach the right target audience, and sometimes, Facebook may not even spend the ad budget.
Some of the main reasons Facebook may restrict your account from running ads include:
Low Facebook Account trust level
This is the primary reason for ad restrictions. If the account you are using to run ads is not active regularly, with few posts and low engagement, Facebook may perceive it as a “fake” account, causing your campaigns to be less favored by the platform. This will lead to restrictions due to Facebook’s algorithms and policies.
Frequent pausing/activating ads
This situation often occurs, especially with newcomers. For example, after running a campaign for a day, you might notice that the morning results were great, but the afternoon performance was disappointing. You then continuously turn the campaign on in the morning and off in the afternoon for several days. This behavior will catch Facebook’s attention and cause it to limit your campaign’s features. Remember, running a campaign is a process that requires consistency, not based on one day’s results.
Payment issues – Frequent unusual budget changes
This is the last reason that affects your ad campaigns. If your payment is due but there are issues with your account balance or problems with the transaction, Facebook will immediately restrict your account. Additionally, frequently increasing or decreasing the ad budget unexpectedly will also draw Facebook’s attention and result in your account being flagged for restrictions.
How to fix Facebook Ad Accounts restrictions
If Facebook restricts your account from ads, here are some steps you can take to resolve the issue and improve the effectiveness of your campaigns:
Appeal
This is a simple and commonly used method, with the following steps:
- Step 1: Prepare a new account or a fresh account that has never run ads or has run ads but hasn’t faced any restrictions. Ideally, use an account with verified identity or a foreign account to increase the chances of success.
- Step 2: Share the admin rights of your Facebook Page with the account prepared in Step 1. At the same time, remove admin rights from any other accounts on the Page.
- Step 3: Go to the Ad Manager and submit an appeal with the following message:
“My Page ID: xxxxxxxxxxx is currently under Disabled Ad.
I believe I have read Facebook’s policies carefully and strictly follow Facebook’s Advertising Policy. Therefore, I kindly request that this case be treated with the highest urgency and that the feature restriction be removed so my work will not be interrupted.
Thank you.”

Step 4: Wait for Facebook to respond within 2-3 days. If your account only had minor violations or no violations at all, Facebook will lift the restrictions and restore all features. However, if Facebook does not resolve your appeal, you may need to switch to a new account to continue running ads.
Create a new Facebook Page
If the account you are using for running ads has violated Facebook’s policies multiple times, it’s highly likely that your appeal will not be successful. In such cases, the best option is to create a new Facebook Page to continue running your campaigns.
While working on Facebook, it’s a good practice to build and manage multiple Pages simultaneously. This approach helps prevent issues like account restrictions. Having a few backup Pages allows you to have sufficient time for preparation and adjustments, ensuring smoother ad campaigns moving forward.
Renting or buying a Facebook Page – Ad Account
In addition to the previous methods, renting or buying a Facebook Ad Account (TKQC) is a solution often preferred by many sellers. The main advantage of this approach is that it helps you save time, effort, and costs since you don’t have to wait for approval or deal with restrictions. Moreover, by renting an external Ad Account, you can run campaigns for products that are typically restricted by Facebook’s policies, and still have your campaigns approved, stable, and yielding high conversion rates.
However, people consider this method popular, but Facebook does not officially support it. Therefore, it’s important to be cautious to avoid falling into situations where you lose money or face legal issues, which could affect your revenue and profits. Before entering into any agreement, carefully verify the details of the service provider. You may want to check with others in your industry or seek advice from relevant social communities.
