β Business Support FAQ
Why was my Facebook ad account disabled? βΌ
Ad accounts are most commonly disabled for: policy violations (prohibited content categories), unusual payment activity, running too many ads too quickly, or being linked to another disabled account. Review Meta’s Advertising Policies and submit an appeal through Business Support immediately.
How do I appeal a disapproved ad? βΌ
In Ads Manager, find the disapproved ad, click the rejection reason, and select “Request Review.” If the ad is borderline, edit the ad to better comply with policies before resubmitting. For ongoing disputes, use the Business Support chat if you have access, or submit through the Business Help Centre.
Why is my Business Manager account restricted? βΌ
Business Manager restrictions usually result from: adding too many ad accounts quickly, unusual payment methods, business verification failures, or having a disabled personal account linked as an admin. Verifying your business through Official Business Verification often resolves these issues.
How do I get a refund for Facebook ads? βΌ
Facebook billing issues can be disputed through Ads Manager β Billing β Billing History. For unauthorised charges or technical billing errors, contact Facebook Business Support directly. Disputes must typically be raised within 60 days of the charge. See our Billing guide β
What is Facebook’s Official Business Verification? βΌ
Official Business Verification (OBV) confirms your business’s legal identity to Meta. It unlocks higher ad spend limits, removes some restrictions, and adds credibility to your Business Manager. You’ll need to provide business registration documents, a utility bill, or official government documents matching your business name.
