How to Avoid Facebook Ad Account Restrictions and Keep Scaling

Running Facebook ads is one of the best ways to grow a business. But nothing is more frustrating than waking up to a restricted or banned ad account. It stops your campaigns, wastes your budget, and can slow down your business growth.

At ProAds, we know how important it is to keep your ads running smoothly. In this guide, we’ll show you how to avoid Facebook ad restrictions and keep scaling your business without any interruptions.

Why Does Facebook Restrict Ad Accounts?

Facebook has strict rules to protect users and ensure ad quality. If an account breaks these rules (even by mistake), it can get restricted or banned. Here are some common reasons:

  • Violating Facebook’s Ad Policies – Ads that include misleading claims, prohibited content, or low-quality experiences.
  • Getting Too Many Negative Feedback Reports – If people report your ads as spam or misleading, Facebook might take action.
  • Sudden Big Spending Changes – Large budget increases can trigger Facebook’s security system.
  • Multiple Disapproved Ads – If your ads keep getting rejected, your account may be flagged as risky.
  • Using a Suspicious Payment Method – Facebook is strict about payment security. If a payment fails or seems suspicious, restrictions can happen.

How to Avoid Facebook Ad Restrictions

1. Follow Facebook’s Ad Policies

Facebook has clear rules about what you can and can’t advertise. Before launching any campaign, review Facebook’s Ad Policies. Here are some key things to avoid:

  • No misleading or false claims
  • No adult, illegal, or dangerous content
  • No shocking or fear-based messaging
  • No “before-and-after” images that exaggerate results

If an ad gets rejected, fix it quickly to prevent further issues.

2. Warm Up Your Ad Account

If you’re starting a new ad account, don’t jump into big spending immediately. Instead:

  • Start with small budgets ($10–$20 per day) and increase gradually.
  • Run simple, policy-compliant ads (engagement or traffic campaigns) first.
  • Avoid multiple rejected ads—Facebook tracks your account history.

This builds trust with Facebook and reduces the chances of sudden restrictions.

3. Use a Verified Business Manager

A verified Business Manager adds extra security to your account. Here’s how to set it up:

  1. Go to Facebook Business Manager.
  2. Verify your business details (email, phone, domain).
  3. Add multiple ad accounts and team members for backup.

Having a verified Business Manager makes Facebook see you as a serious advertiser, lowering the risk of restrictions.

4. Maintain a Good Feedback Score

Facebook tracks how people react to your ads. If you get too many negative reactions, your account can be flagged. To keep a high feedback score:

  1. Be honest – Avoid overpromising in your ads.
  2. Use clear, high-quality creatives – Avoid clickbait or misleading headlines.
  3. Respond to customer issues quickly – Delays in product delivery or bad service can lead to negative feedback.

Check your feedback score inside Facebook Commerce Manager and fix any issues fast.

5. Use a Trusted Payment Method

Facebook flags suspicious payments, so always use a stable, verified payment method. Avoid:

  • Using prepaid or virtual cards with no history
  • Changing payment methods too often
  • Letting payments fail (always keep funds ready)

A secure payment history keeps your account safe from unnecessary restrictions.

6. Have Backup Accounts Ready

Even with the best practices, ad accounts can still get restricted. To stay prepared:

  • Create multiple ad accounts in Business Manager.
  • Have extra payment methods added in case one fails.
  • Use multiple Facebook pages if possible.

This way, if one account gets restricted, you can quickly switch and keep running ads.

What to Do If Your Account Gets Restricted

If Facebook restricts your account, don’t panic. Follow these steps:

  1. Check your notifications – Facebook will explain the reason.
  2. Request a review – If it’s a mistake, you can appeal it through Account Quality.
  3. Fix any policy violations – Edit or remove flagged ads.
  4. Use a different ad account while waiting for a response.

If your account stays restricted, you may need a new verified ad account. ProAds can help with this—contact us for support.
