If you rely on Facebook or Instagram ads to make sales in your business, losing your ads account is probably one of your biggest nightmares. A shut-down account could cripple your next launch and have a serious effect on your bottom line. 

I'm sharing juicy stories from online business owners who have dealt with this super frustrating situation, and, in several cases, what they were able to do to get their accounts reinstated.

The good news is, if you understand the rules and regulations for ads accounts, you can (in most cases) avoid having your account shut down.

In this episode, we'll cover:

  • Steps you can take if you think your account has been flagged or shut down by mistake
  • Why your ad's landing page is just as important as the content in your ad itself
  • Which kinds of keywords in your ads or other content will increase your chances of getting shut down
  • How a 'final' determination from Facebook isn't always final

BONUS: By now, you now know you need a Privacy Policy on your website or landing page to make sure your ad is approved, but what other documents do you need to include? Head to www.awbfirm.com/podcast125 to download our free website documents checklist to make sure your website or landing page isn't missing anything that might cause your ad to be rejected.
