My Facebook Ad Account Was Disabled! Steps to Appeal
It makes your heart stop. You log in and see a big red banner: "Your Advertising Access is Restricted." You feel like a criminal, even though you didn't do anything wrong. First, take a deep breath. This happens to everyone, even big brands. It is usually a bot making a mistake.
Here is how to fight back.
Step 1: Check Account Quality
Go to the "Account Quality" tab in your Business Manager. It will tell you (vaguely) why you were banned. It is usually for "Circumventing Systems" or "Unacceptable Business Practices."
Step 2: Request Review
There will be a button to "Request Review." Click it. You will likely need to upload a photo of your ID (driver's license) to prove you are a real person.
Step 3: The Explanation
They might give you a text box to explain. Be polite! Do not scream. Say: "I believe this was a mistake. I am a legitimate business selling [Product]. I have read the policies and believe I am compliant. Please review."
Step 4: The Wait
It can take 24 to 48 hours. Keep checking your email.
