- Damn, I’ve been blocked again! I just checked my account, and it’s disabled! What the heck is going on?
- Don’t panic! We’ll sort this out.
Ever had such a “Good” morning?
Account blocks on Facebook and Instagram are not permanent but always unpleasant for both business owners and target specialists, as they need to urgently find solutions and pause advertising for a few days.
However, blocks are not scary! There are countless ways to solve this problem, and the most important thing is NOT TO PANIC!
As a business owner, you should understand that if you have a competent specialist on your team, they will definitely resolve the block issue, and you will catch up on lost clients.
TOP-7 Reasons for Account Blocks
1. One Account – Many Devices
Many people neglect this rule and log into one account from different IP addresses and cities, using a phone, laptop, etc. This is a bad idea!
Main rule: one account per device! A competent specialist sets up ads through the client-provided access, without asking for passwords and logins.
2. Everything at Once
Some specialists create a Facebook account, business manager, and ad account all in one day, link a card, and immediately launch ads. Facebook starts suspecting suspicious activity and may block the account.
An experienced targetologist does everything gradually and according to certain schemes to avoid suspicion.
3. To Hell with Rules!
The Facebook “Rules” section contains a lot of knowledge that significantly simplifies targeting work. Specialists familiar with them reduce the likelihood of blocks by 70%.
4. Personal – Not Public
Using fake names on Facebook makes it difficult to restore the account if blocked. Ensure you have a real avatar, linked real phone and email, actual full name, and several published photos.
5. Activity is Everything!
Fill out your profile, play games, scroll through the feed, like photos, and communicate with friends. This helps avoid suspicion and blocks.
6. Suspicious in Facebook’s Eyes
Facebook closely monitors attempts to deceive. If the ad leads to a site whose address was previously used in a banned account, or if copied images and texts from a banned account are used, it can lead to blocking. A sharp increase in ad spending can also raise suspicion.
7. Fraudulent Sites – Red Flag
Facebook blocks ads leading to sites that may be considered fraudulent due to content, presence of viruses, pop-ups, site disruptions due to hosting issues, or domain renewal problems.
What to Do if You Get Blocked?
1. Resolve the Issue Through Facebook Support Center
Describe the problem as thoroughly and politely as possible, using words like “please” and “I would be very grateful”. This will speed up the resolution process.
2. Have Multiple Warmed-Up Accounts
Keep several backup accounts to immediately launch ads if one gets blocked.
3. Use Anti-Detect Browsers and Different IPs

4. Buy a New Business Manager
Warm it up for one to three days and launch the ads.
