Not sure which you need? Compare the optionsUnable to advertise because of a Meta restriction?
Ad Account Restricted or Disabled
Your Facebook ad account is disabled or your Meta ad account is restricted, leaving campaigns unable to run.
Business Manager Suspended
A suspended or restricted Business Manager / Business Portfolio is preventing your business from advertising.
Advertising Access Restricted
Your personal Facebook advertising access is restricted, even when the ad account itself appears active.
Rejected Appeals & Policy Violations
An appeal was rejected, ads keep being disapproved, or a policy notice leaves you unsure what to address.
Verification Linked to a Restriction
Business details, identity checks or requested documents may be holding up an available review or verification step.
No Clear Review or Next Step
The restriction remains unresolved and you need help interpreting the notices and options visible in your account.
Payment or Spending Limits
Payment failures, unpaid balances or spending limits are affecting delivery. We check whether the issue is billing or a restriction.
Lost Business or Page Access
Missing roles, ownership conflicts or a compromised profile are blocking access to the assets you need.
Tracking or Delivery Issues
Pixel, CAPI, catalogue or delivery problems remain supported. Broader performance diagnostics belong in the full account audit.
Something else? Describe it on a consultation call.
Three areas we diagnose
We first establish which account or person is restricted and what Meta's notices actually say. Billing, permissions and technical checks support that diagnosis.
Ad account restrictions & policy
For a Meta ad account restricted from advertising, a disabled Facebook ad account, or repeated policy enforcement.
What we check- Account status, notices and restriction history
- Policy notices, rejected ads and previous appeals
- Security or payment signals around the restriction
- Available review steps and supporting evidence
You get: an evidence-based assessment of possible causes and legitimate review options, where available.
Business Manager & advertising access
For suspended Business Managers, restricted Business Portfolios and personal advertising access restrictions.
What we check- Which business asset or person is affected
- Business verification and identity requests
- Admin roles, ownership and security changes
- Prior decisions and any remaining official pathways
You get: a clear distinction between business, ad account and personal restrictions, with documentation and next steps.
Billing, access & technical setup
For supporting issues that block access or delivery, with tracking and performance diagnostics kept secondary.
What we check- Failed payments, balances and spending limits
- Business permissions and compromised access
- Pixel, CAPI and catalogue setup when relevant
- Whether a separate account audit is more appropriate
You get: practical setup guidance or a recommendation for the dedicated Meta Ads Account Audit when a broader review is needed.

- Review policy notices, verification requests and restriction history
- Organise relevant evidence and help prepare an appeal when a review is available

Meta account restriction questions
Your situation isn't listed? Describe it on a consultation call.
Yes. We can review the notices and history behind a disabled Facebook ad account or a Meta ad account restricted from advertising, assess possible causes and explain legitimate next steps. A review or reinstatement is not guaranteed.
It may be possible in some cases, depending on the reason for the restriction and the options Meta makes available. We check the affected Business Manager / Business Portfolio, verification requests and previous decisions before recommending a path. Meta decides the outcome.
We review the rejection, what was submitted and whether Meta shows any remaining review, verification or support options. Another appeal may not be available. We will not recommend duplicate submissions without a legitimate basis or a new account to evade enforcement.
No. Meta makes the final decision on account restrictions and reinstatement. We cannot guarantee recovery, a response time, an appeal opportunity or access to special support channels.
Share the exact restriction notice, the affected asset type and ID, a timeline, screenshots from Account Quality or Business Support Home, and previous appeal responses. Redact unrelated personal or payment details. If access is necessary and available, we agree on limited partner access. Never share passwords or login codes.
For restrictions, suspensions, rejected appeals or advertising access problems, request a free assessment first. If suitable, we email you a private link for a 30-minute diagnostic consultation at $90. The $200 Meta Ads Account Audit reviews account setup, tracking and performance.
