📌How to Unblock Your Ad Account


  1. Use the website messenger in the bottom right corner to submit an “Unblock Ad Account” ticket.

  2. Review Process:

    • We will request a review, usually within 1 business day.

    • We’ll identify any issues with your account and ads, providing useful suggestions and next steps.

    • If unblocking fails, we can move your balance to another account within 48 hours and export data from your blocked account.

❓ Why Was My Ad Account Blocked?

Your ad account may be blocked due to:

  • Policy Violations: Not adhering to Meta's Ad Policies.

  • Unusual Activity: Your account may have been flagged for suspicious behavior.

🛑 What Happens if I Request a Top-Up for a Blocked Ad Account?

Handling Blocked Accounts:

Firstly, you have toinform us that an ad account is blocked, you may do so by creating a support ticket: we’ll give you advice on next steps, then delete the blocked account from the dashboard to prevent any further transactions.

If a Top-Up Goes to a Blocked Account by Mistake:

  • Top-Up Rejection: Most of the time, the system will automatically reject the top-up, so no funds go through.

  • If Accepted, Funds Are Transferred Back: If the top-up is accidentally processed, we’ll transfer those funds to one of your active ad accounts.

🛡️ How to Prevent Your Ad Account from Being Blocked

To avoid blocking, follow these guidelines:

    • Avoid promoting illegal products or misleading information.

    • Don’t imply sensitive personal attributes (age, religion, gender) or use sexually suggestive content.

    • Ensure landing pages are functional and comply with data collection regulations.

  • Minimize Risk Score:

    • Start with a few ad variations and gradually increase.

    • Address negative customer feedback promptly and maintain good customer support.

    • Log in from a consistent IP address and avoid using multiple pages for the same product.

    • Submit disputes for rejected ads to lower your risk score.

🔄 After Unblocking

  • Ads Unaffected: Your ads will not be impacted once your account is unblocked.

  • Gradual Restart: When reactivating campaigns, increase the number of active ads gradually while ensuring compliance with Meta's policies.

⚠️ If Blocked Again

If your account gets blocked multiple times, consider:

  • Creating a new profile, Business Manager, and ad account.

  • Using a new website domain for added security.

  • Contacting our Support Team for assistance with new advertising components.

🛠️ What If My Ads Say “Ad Set Off”?

If your Meta account is unblocked but your ads still display “Ad set off”:

  • Turn your ads off and then back on for all campaigns, ad sets, and ads to reactivate them.
