Meta ad account restricted from advertising?

“Restricted from advertising” can hit an ad account, a profile or a whole Business Portfolio. This page is for advertisers who see that notice in Meta Business Suite and need to know which one is blocked and how to get it reviewed.

Short answer

Find out what is restricted first. Meta can restrict the ad account, your personal profile’s ability to advertise, or the Business Portfolio. Each has its own Request review button in Account Quality. Appeal the right one, once, with a clear explanation.

Which one is restricted?

Account Quality lists each restricted asset separately. Screenshot it before you change anything.

What to try first

  1. Read the reason Meta gives. “Unusual activity” and “advertising policies” are handled differently.
  2. Verify your identity if Meta asks. Use an ID that matches the name on your profile.
  3. Remove admins you don’t recognise and turn on two-factor for everyone left.
  4. Request the review from the asset that’s actually restricted.

What not to do

When to get help

Get help if the review was denied, there’s no review option, or the restriction came back after it was lifted. Unbanz prepares the appeal, documents and context, and handles it through Meta’s official process. More on ad account recovery.

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 says they know someone at Meta, walk away. Unbanz never asks for logins and doesn’t claim any special access. We use the same official routes that are open to you, we just know them well and do the legwork properly.

No passwords or login codes. If we take it on, we get it done.
