Is your account recoverable? A 15-minute decision checklist
We sell replacement accounts and we would still rather you recover the one you had — when that is realistic. This is the checklist we run with customers before they buy anything.
1. Identify the restriction level
Meta restricts at three levels: the ad account, the Business Manager, and the personal profile behind them. Open Account Quality and read the exact wording. 'Ad account disabled' is recoverable far more often than 'Business Manager restricted', and a profile-level flag usually takes everything with it.
On Google, a policy suspension tied to one ad or landing page is usually fixable. 'Circumventing systems' is an account-level trust judgement and is reversed far less often.
2. Count your appeals
One clean appeal from the owning profile is worth more than five. If you have already submitted several appeals from several profiles, the odds are now low and additional attempts make it worse, not better.
3. Put a number on the downtime
At $3,000 a day in spend and a 2x return, a week of downtime costs roughly $42,000 in lost revenue. A replacement account starts at $199. If your spend is meaningful, waiting is the expensive option — even when the appeal eventually works.
4. Decide, then act once
Appeals that succeed usually resolve inside 48 hours. Past that window, run the appeal in the background and get spending again on a clean account. Doing both is not hedging — it is the normal setup for anyone who cannot afford a dark week.
If the checklist points at replacing, start with the account type that matches your daily spend — the next guide walks through that in two minutes.
