Big Tech will say that all you need to do is appeal and everything is fixed after an ad ban. But here's where they get it all wrong:
Automations and robots make decisions for humans and make humans prove they are humans - to machines. You'll get restricted super fast without a road map.
Try this if you struggle with restricted ad accounts: learn the flags and their severity level that got you banned and remove them from your funnel.
If you’re looking to find out how to remove a restriction on a Facebook ad account – I worked in ads at Facebook and can help.
Remove a Restriction on a Facebook Ad Account Flag Type
You can get your ads rejected for violating the spam flags, the Personal Attributes policies, or Facebook could have flagged you as an MLM. Your eyes would pop out if you knew the list of banned words Facebook has that associate you with a pyramid scheme.
If you accidentally used one of these words, even 1 word would be enough to get you shut down. Ideally, you’d have your ads prescreened for Facebook ad policy compliance?before going live.
Then, you’d never have to try to learn how to remove a restriction on a Facebook ad account. This can be problematic for many advertisers because you can read all the books on Facebook ads, read all of facebook ad policies and still not get answers.

How can I tell if my account was restricted?
While Facebook is supposed to send you an email, you may not always get an email telling you that your account is restricted. But, going to Ads Manager, or Business Manager you’ll see this warning when your account is restricted:
And obviously, not being able to run ads and having all your live ads shut down is a pretty clear indicator your account is restricted on Facebook.
Part of the ninja skill involved when successfully trying to remove a restriction on a Facebook ad account comes down to accurately diagnosing what got you in Facebook jail
– before FB bots have a chance to permanently restrict your ad account or Page.
What does having my account restricted mean?
If you have a restricted Facebook account, you are banned from using Facebook Ads, Facebook Pixel, Facebook Business Manager, and more.
BUT… The severity of your account restriction depends on:
? Your vertical | Type of Business
? The ad account history
? The type of ban
? The number of bans in the past 3 months
? The amount of approved ads And a few other factors.
Not all bans are the same, and not all Facebook restricted accounts have the same recovery process – or relaunching method when learning how to remove a restriction on a Facebook ad account.
Remove a Restriction on a Facebook Ad Account Troubleshoot
To troubleshoot your restricted account:
The first step is to audit your funnel and identify the biggest risks when it comes to Facebook ad policy compliance. If you don’t know why you got flagged you won’t have very much to go on when attempting to appeal or remove a restriction on a Facebook ad account.
Review the Facebook ad policies that apply to your business?specifically and determine which one the automations caught and flagged you for.

When you appeal, you gotta know WHY you were shut down FIRST.
Most ad agencies have it BACKWARDS. They go in angry, demanding to be told why their accounts were restricted.
And asking that their accounts get restored. You really have to find out for yourself FIRST before appealing, because that will be the heart of your appeal:
“I know what I may have done wrong and I’ve learned from it.”
This will help when trying to remove a restriction on a Facebook ad account.
On Appealing: Chat in with Facebook Ad Support and get the agent you contact to submit the appeal?for you instead of clicking Request Review.
This will up your chances by a factor of 100. Already completely banned? If you are running ads and spending $100K a year or more on ads, I can help with that.
