The question you should be asking is – would Facebook restore an account after blocking it? Well, the answer is it depends, and NO, we cannot tell you whether you will get your ads account back or not. You will just have to try and see if they would listen to you.

For you to appeal, go to the Facebook Ads Manager page. Since your account is blocked, you would see a  red section on the page telling you your account is banned, and you are provided a link to a contact us page – to appeal the ban – if you believe it was a mistake on their part. To be honest with you, you would be extremely lucky to get a reply from them after the first trial. Some would keep trying until they are answered.

Facebook Ads Manager Accounts

If, after you have tried, you are unable to get your account unblocked, then you will need to create a new account as a business must continue – whether Facebook likes it or not. However, the account would have to be stealthy, and Facebook shouldn’t know that you were the one that created the new account after the former one had been blocked.

Follow the steps highlighted below to create a new Facebook Ads account. It is important you know that the new account that would be created would be a business manager account and not a personal ad account.

  • You will need someone close to you to create a new business manager account.
  • Ideally, you shouldn’t share the same IP address with the person, so if you are on the same Wi-Fi network, you can get the person to use his mobile data. Else, you can simply grab a residential proxy server from Smartproxy.
  • From the new business manager account, create a new ad account and set up a Facebook business page.
  • You will need to add a payment method. You shouldn’t make the mistake of adding the payment method associated with the former account.
  • With the ads account and Facebook page set up, the person should add you as admin with full privileges.

If you follow the above, then you have another ads account to run your ads. It is advisable you run ads that link to other domains before you start running ads to your domain, as doing so straightaway would reveal you are the same person, and that new one would be blocked too.

The ads shouldn’t be related until you have built a reputation first. Make sure the payment method you use for the new account is different from the one you use in your old account.
