Common Reasons for Account Bans (Goads RS)
Understanding why accounts get banned is the first step to prevention. The most common triggers include:
- Policy violations in ad copy or landing pages
- Sudden spending spikes that trigger automated review
- Using personal accounts for business advertising
- Multiple rejected ads in a short period
- Payment issues or chargebacks
Prevention Strategies
Here are 7 proven strategies to keep your accounts healthy:
- Use agency accounts — They have inherently higher trust levels
- Warm up gradually — Never jump from $0 to $1000/day overnight
- Review policies regularly — Meta updates its policies frequently
- Diversify your accounts — Don't put all your budget in one account
- Monitor ad quality scores — Low quality scores are an early warning sign
- Keep landing pages compliant — Your landing page matters as much as your ad
- Maintain clean payment methods — Use reliable payment sources without history of chargebacks
What to Do If You Get Banned
If despite your best efforts an account gets banned, here's what to do:
First, don't panic. Submit an appeal through Meta's standard process. If the ban was a false positive, it's often resolved within 24-48 hours.
If the appeal fails, consider starting fresh with a new agency account from a trusted provider like GoAds. Our accounts come with a 7-day warranty specifically for situations like these.
