Meta advertising restrictions
A stopped campaign does not always mean the ad account itself was disabled. Meta can reject an individual ad or restrict an ad account, a person's advertising access, a Page, or a Business Account. Billing, identity confirmation, business verification, compromise, and connected-asset history can also stop delivery. The exact restricted entity determines the review path.

Open Business Support Home from a trusted device and record the exact restricted entity and stated reason.
Preserve rejected-ad, policy, billing, identity, and review notices before editing campaigns or assets.
Check whether every administrator and partner is recognized and whether any connected account shows compromise.
Meta's review guidance distinguishes rejected ads from restrictions on advertisers and business assets. Do not assume the red warning beside one ad account explains every delivery problem in the business.
What you see
One ad is rejected, but the account can still advertise
What it usually means
This is usually an ad-level decision rather than an ad-account restriction.
Next decision
Read the cited policy, inspect the creative and destination, make a real correction if needed, or request another review only when the decision appears incorrect.
What you see
The ad account is restricted or disabled
What it usually means
The enforcement applies to that billing and advertising entity, although connected assets and administrator history can affect the decision.
Next decision
Save the ad account ID, exact notice, policy history, billing state, corrective action, and any review control shown in Business Support Home.
What you see
Your personal advertising access is restricted
What it usually means
The restriction follows the administrator identity and can affect more than one ad account.
Next decision
Confirm identity and security requirements shown to that person, then address the personal advertising restriction rather than opening duplicate ad-account appeals.
What you see
The Business Account, Page, or another asset is restricted
What it usually means
The ad account may be operational but unable to run because a connected entity has an enforcement or verification problem.
Next decision
Select the named entity in Business Support Home, record what Meta says can be done, and keep its review history separate from ad-level rejections.
What you see
Ads stopped after suspicious activity or unknown admins appeared
What it usually means
The restriction may be a downstream result of compromise rather than an ordinary policy disagreement.
Next decision
Secure administrators, email, sessions, partners, and billing first, then explain the compromise and corrective actions in the review record.
Free first-party options
Availability and labels can vary by asset, account state, device, and region. Use links from Meta-owned domains and preserve the exact message shown to the affected administrator.
Safety note: Meta does not publish one universal support phone number for every business. Treat phone numbers in ads, search results, messages, and unsolicited emails as untrusted.
A strong review request states what Meta restricted, why the decision may be incorrect or what was corrected, and which evidence supports that statement.
A review should explain one restriction accurately. Repeated, generic submissions can create an inconsistent record without correcting the underlying policy, billing, identity, or security issue.

Recovery-or-refund guarantee
If we cannot resolve the Meta business issue covered by your agreement, you can close the engagement and receive the amount paid minus documented professional time at $199 per hour. Read the Refund Policy
This is a service-fee refund guarantee. Meta controls restoration decisions, reversals, and response times.
Hacked.com is an independent recovery service and is not affiliated with Meta. Meta controls platform decisions and response times.
No. A rejected ad is an ad-level decision. An ad-account restriction affects the advertising entity, while a personal advertising restriction, Page restriction, or Business Account restriction affects a different control layer.
Meta's published guidance directs eligible advertisers to Business Support Home. The button, label, and eligibility can vary by entity and account state, so preserve what the affected administrator sees rather than relying on an old click path.
Do not create replacement assets to evade enforcement. First determine whether the restriction follows the person, Page, business, payment relationship, or destination, because a new account may inherit the same unresolved problem and can look like circumvention.
No. Hacked.com can help identify the affected entity, contain compromise, organize corrective actions and evidence, and prepare a consistent review. Meta decides whether access is restored and how long review takes.
