Spot the claim
Look at headline, image text, video voiceover and landing page. A claim anywhere on the path can trigger the notice.

Ad account restricted for misleading claims?
Meta restricts accounts when ads promise things the product cannot show. This page is for advertisers whose ads or landing pages used strong claims.
Misleading claims include promised results, unrealistic income, health cures and made-up reviews. If Meta flagged these, rewrite the ads and the landing page with claims you can back up, keep proof, and request a review in Account Quality. Unbanz can prepare the appeal if the account is restricted.
Replace with facts
Describe what the product does, with real specifics. Drop promises of results.
Keep your proof
Sources, test results, certificates and real customer messages belong in your appeal.
Claims that are often flagged
- Income or weight loss promises with numbers.
- Words like instant, miracle, cure and permanent.
- Fake reviews, fake media logos or invented endorsements.
- Before and after images that suggest a medical result.
- Prices or discounts that are not real.
How to fix it
- Collect every ad version and the landing page as they are now.
- Mark each claim and ask whether you can prove it with a document.
- Remove or rewrite the ones you cannot.
- Add terms, disclaimers and contact details to the landing page.
- Request the review with a note about what you changed.
What reviewers look for
Meta’s system and its reviewers look at what a normal person would take from the ad. Fine print does not rescue a headline that suggests a different message. If the landing page changes the offer, the ad is treated as misleading.
How Unbanz helps
We read the notice and your ads, show you where the claims are, and prepare an appeal that describes the corrections. We do not tell you to hide anything from Meta. See also our page on unacceptable business practices.
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.

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)
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.
What are the usual reasons for an ad account restriction?
The common ones are a declined or disputed payment, a billing country or currency change, a sudden spend increase, repeated rejected ads, a login from a new device or country, unverified business details, or an admin whose personal profile is itself restricted. Account Quality usually names the policy.

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.
What does Meta consider misleading?
Claims that cannot be shown, results promised to the viewer, fake urgency and ads that differ from the landing page.
Do disclaimers fix a misleading claim?
Rarely. If the headline suggests one thing and the fine print says another, the ad can still be rejected.
Can testimonials cause a restriction?
Real ones are fine. Made-up testimonials or ones that promise results can be flagged.
Should I wait before appealing?
Fix the ads first. A review before the fix usually repeats the same decision.
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.
