Account status overview: which asset is actually restricted

Meta can restrict a business portfolio, an ad account, a Page or your personal profile, and each one stops ads in a different way. Open the account status overview, find which of these carries the notice, and fix that one first. Appealing the wrong asset wastes the request.

Read the overview

Asset with the noticeWhat usually stopsWhere to look next

Facebook PageAds that run from that PageThe Page's quality or status screen
Personal profileYour ability to manage ads anywhereYour profile's account status

Fix in this order

  1. Personal profile, because without it you cannot manage anything else.
  2. Business portfolio, because it sits above the ad accounts.
  3. The ad account named in the notice.
  4. The Page, if ads are blocked from one Page only.

Read the cause before you file

The overview often shows a reason or a policy area. Fix what it points to first, such as a landing page or a missing verification. Meta's own wording says that once a review is completed, the decision can be final, so the first request matters.

If nothing shows

If the overview shows no restricted asset but ads still do not run, check payments and delivery settings. Our page on ads stopped with no notice covers that.

Official sources

Meta changes its help pages, menus and forms often. Follow the wording on your own screen and the current Help Center. Ads Account Recovery is an independent service and is not affiliated with Meta.

YOUR QUESTIONS

Frequently asked questions

Can more than one asset be restricted at once?

Yes. Each shows its own notice, and each may need its own review.

If my profile is restored, does the ad account come back too?

Not always. Check each asset again after any decision.

Who can see the overview?

People with the right access to the business portfolio or ad account. A notice may only show to some admins.
