How to Unblock Facebook Business Manager

Getting your Facebook Business Manager (BM) blocked is a common issue among advertisers and media buyers. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the most frequent reasons for a ban and the step-by-step process to restore access.

1. Check the Reason for the Block

Before submitting an appeal, identify why your BM was restricted:

  • Go to the Account Quality section in Facebook Business Manager.
  • Review alerts about policy violations or suspicious activities.
  • Look for messages such as Policy Violation or Restricted Business Manager.

2. Fix the Issues

If your account was blocked due to ad policy violations:

  • Remove or edit any ads that go against Facebook’s advertising policies.
  • Ensure that your landing pages comply with platform requirements.
  • Verify all payment methods are valid and error-free.

3. Submit an Appeal

Once the violations are resolved, initiate the appeal process:

  • Go back to the Account Quality section and select your restricted BM.
  • Click “Request Review” and fill out the appeal form with all required details.
  • Wait for Facebook’s support response — it may take a few hours to several days.

4. Document Verification

Facebook may request proof of identity or business registration:

  • Prepare valid identity documents (passport, driver’s license) and proof of business registration.
  • Upload the documents via the appeal form when prompted.
  • Ensure the information matches what’s in your BM account.

5. Additional Tips

  • Do not create a new BM until your current one is reviewed and resolved.
  • Avoid making drastic changes after account restoration.
  • Regularly check your Account Quality section for updates or new notices.
