Ad account restricted for unusual activity

Steps

1. Check People in Business settings.
2. Turn on two-factor for all admins.
3. Request a review.

Official route

Reference notes for this notice follow.

1. Open Account Quality and look at three levels: your own profile's advertising access, the Business Portfolio, and each ad account.
2. Fix the highest level first. An ad account review rarely succeeds while the portfolio or your profile is restricted.
3. Clear payment problems before asking for review: settle any balance and use a card in the business name.
4. Request one review per restricted item, from Account Quality, and keep the confirmation.
5. For takeovers, secure every admin's profile and remove unknown people, partners and apps in Business settings first.

Evidence to collect

• Screenshots of Account Quality and any ad rejections.
• Invoices or card statements that match the account.
• The ad account ID and Business Portfolio ID.
• A website on your own domain with contact details and clear policies.
• Registration documents that match the portfolio's legal name and address exactly.

Wording that works

• If ads ran after a takeover, say when the takeover started and when you regained control.
• Keep it to facts; Meta's team sees many requests and a short clear one is easier to act on.
• Name the asset, the date it was restricted, and what you have changed since.

Avoid these

• Adding a card that was used on another restricted account.
• Opening new ad accounts or portfolios to keep spending; Meta can treat this as circumvention.
• Buying or renting 'aged' ad accounts.
• Sharing your login with a freelancer instead of adding them as a partner or person.

What happens next

• Once restored, start with small budgets and ads that clearly follow the Advertising Standards.
• If verification is requested, submit documents that match the portfolio details exactly.
• Check Account Quality and the email on the portfolio for the result.
• Add two-factor for every admin and keep at least two admins you trust.

If the route is closed

• Business verification keeps rejecting matching documents.
• The review button is missing or the decision is final.
• Several ad accounts and portfolios are restricted together.

What to send

• Your username or profile link.
• A screenshot of the notice or error, with the date visible.
• Which email or phone is on the account (just which one, never a code).
• What happened before it started, in a few lines.

Please do not send passwords, login codes, card numbers or access tokens.
