Appeal the profile
The profile status comes first. The ad account depends on it.
Home / Meta ad account help
Personal profile restricted and ad account affected?
Ad accounts run through a personal Facebook profile. When the profile is restricted or disabled, the ad account can stop working too. This page is for owners in that position.
If your personal profile is disabled or restricted, the ad accounts it administers can be blocked until you appeal the profile. Start with the profile appeal, then add a second admin, then check the ad account. Unbanz can help with both appeals.
Add another admin
A second trusted admin keeps the business running if one profile is flagged.
Do not use a fake profile
A dummy profile as admin can lead to more restrictions.
Why the profile matters
Meta ties every ad account to real people. If the profile is disabled, you cannot log in to manage the ad account, and the system may see the ad account as having no responsible admin. Even when the ad account is intact, you cannot reach it.
Steps
- Read the notice on your personal profile and follow its appeal link.
- Ask another admin to add you or a trusted person with full control to the portfolio.
- If you were the only admin, gather proof of identity and business ownership.
- Once the profile is back, check Account Quality for the ad account and portfolio.
- Request reviews for anything still flagged.

How Unbanz helps
We can handle the profile appeal and the ad account appeal together, so the story is consistent. We use official routes only.
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
- Owners whose personal profile was restricted.
- Sole admins on a portfolio.
- Founders who run ads from their own account.
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.

QUICK ANSWERS
Good to know.
Can a restricted Facebook profile disable my ad account?
It can block access to it and sometimes the account is restricted as well.
Do I need a personal profile to run ads?
Yes, ad accounts are managed by people with profiles. Meta does not allow fake ones.
What if I was the only admin?
You will need to recover the profile first, or prove ownership through the official routes.
Can I make a new profile to access the ad account?
No. It breaks Meta’s rules and can create more problems.
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.
