I'm used to Google, they aren't that bad for suspending accounts (or maybe I just know whats allowed more); but this last year I've found more profitable growth in Facebook for one of my businesses in particular.

I've been running it for quite some time, but then for what seems like no reason, my ad account was deactivated; and although it seemed hopeful it would be reinstated quickly, 2 months have passed and I'm looking for other solutions to replace a very profitable £1m annual revenue line to the business.

Anyone have experience in Facebook who may give pointers on why my account was disabled?

Things I think may be the issue;

  1. Image quality; we've found 'meme' ads to be very effective for lead generation, much more than better quality images such as our own illustrated cartoons
  2. Ad text being too provocative perhaps
  3. Facebook is overzealous and bugged (my first disabled account was legitimately bugged and the support struggled to give help with it; not because it was a serious ban/suspension!) - my least favourite outcome as its not very dependable for a stable business
  4. My subsequent accounts have been linked to my first disabled account

I have things I can try, but every failure is another disabled account and associated card; I've even migrated the wrbsite to a new domain to avoid drawing a line to the new account. I have created a new brand, but it was on the same management account and very similar to the first in style. I can try all new images. I can try all new ad text.

Does anyone know if facebook dislike 'meme' ads?

Would it be more appropriate to illustrate our own cartoon ads?

Anyone have any experience/similar journey with Facebook?

I've been through this over the years on google and no longer have issues, but if I knew what I did today about Google I'd have avoided a lot of time and expense
