Is it the client ad account, the client portfolio or your own profile?

Freelance media buyer with a restricted ad account?
Freelancers carry risk from every client they touch. This page is for media buyers whose own profile or a client account was restricted.
A freelancer managing many accounts from one profile can see several of them flagged at once. Find which asset is restricted, separate clients where possible, and request one review per asset with proof of the working relationship. Unbanz can prepare the appeals.
Separate clients
Each client should have its own portfolio, card and pixel.
Keep records
Contracts, invoices and messages prove you act with permission.
Why freelancers are exposed
- One profile is admin on many clients’ accounts.
- Clients’ cards or pixels are reused.
- Work happens from several countries and devices.
- Clients make changes without telling you.
Immediate steps
- Check your own profile and Account Quality for each client asset.
- Remove client access you no longer need and avoid sharing logins.
- Tell the affected client and give them the notice.
- Collect proof of the engagement.
- Request the review from the right portfolio.
Good setup going forward
Ask clients to create the ad account inside their own portfolio and add you with a role. Use your own profile for access and never ask for their password. This keeps the account theirs and your profile clear. See our pages on client accounts and agency ad account recovery.
How Unbanz helps
We prepare the appeal and can do it white label so it goes out under your name. Meta makes the final decision.
What to send
- The ad account ID and the business portfolio ID.
- A screenshot of the notice in Account Quality, with the date it appeared.
- What was running: the product or offer, the landing page and roughly how much was being spent per day.
- Anything that changed shortly before: a new card, a new admin, a new domain, a login from another country.
Please do not send passwords, login codes, card numbers or access tokens.
How it works with Unbanz
- Message us on WhatsApp or email with the ad account ID, the business portfolio ID and a screenshot of the notice.
- We tell you honestly whether we can help and what it costs.
- We prepare the appeal and the supporting details, then send it through Meta’s official review.
- We keep you posted until Meta responds. Meta makes the final decision, and nobody can promise the outcome.
Who this is for
- Freelance media buyers.
- Solo consultants managing client ads.
- Small agencies starting out.
Staying safe
Nobody needs your password or login codes to help you. Not us, not anyone. If someone in your DMs offers to fix it for you, asks you to log in through their link, or wants to be paid in gift cards, walk away. Unbanz never asks for logins. We are an independent paid service, not affiliated with Meta: payment is upfront, with a 100% refund if the case fails. For Facebook and Instagram cases we work through our contacts at Meta, and Meta makes the final decision.
No passwords or login codes. We handle the process end to end; Meta makes the final decision.
Ad account questions people also ask (2026)
Where do I request the review?
Go to Account Quality in Meta Business Suite (business.facebook.com/accountquality), select the ad account, and use Request review if it is shown. For a personal ad account, open Accounts Center, then Account status.
How long does an ad account review take?
Meta does not state one. While you wait, do not open new ad accounts or move spend to a fresh profile, which can be read as circumventing systems. Check Account Quality for status rather than resubmitting.
Business verification or ID check pending: what helps?
Use documents that match the business portfolio name and address exactly, such as an EIN letter (US), Companies House record (UK), CRA business number (Canada), KvK extract (Netherlands) or Kbis/SIREN (France). A name mismatch is one of the most common reasons verification fails.

My name on Instagram was taken by some random inactive account, so I couldn't use it. Unbanz claimed it within a week, so if you need help with usernames, they're highly recommended.
Updated November 2026
Ad account, Page and Business Portfolio restrictions are reviewed in Business Support Home (formerly Account Quality) on a computer, by an admin. Open the restricted asset, read the reason, then request a review once. If an admin’s personal profile is restricted, that comes first. For agencies, see the agency hub and Business Portfolio appeal links.
Should the agency or the client request the ad account review?
Either can if they are an admin. The person who knows the account history best should write it.
What to send us
- The username or profile link.
- A screenshot of the exact notice, with the date visible.
- Whether you already appealed, and what Meta replied.
- Whether you still have the email and phone number on the account.
- Never your password or login codes.
Send it on WhatsApp or to team@unbanz.com.
QUICK ANSWERS
Good to know.
Can a client’s restriction affect my profile?
It can if the cause involves your access. Check your own Account Quality.
Should I ask clients to share their login?
No. Ask for a role on their portfolio instead.
Can Unbanz work for freelancers?
Yes, including white label.
What if the client will not cooperate?
The portfolio owner needs to be involved. We can help you explain it to them.
Do I need to share my Facebook or Meta login?
No. Your password and login codes stay with you. Unbanz works from the ad account ID, the portfolio ID and a screenshot of the notice. Anyone who asks for your login is not someone to work with.
How do I contact Unbanz about an ad account?
WhatsApp +1 934 201 2490 or email team@unbanz.com. Send the ad account ID, the business portfolio ID and a screenshot of the notice.
Tell us what you need.
