Security of agency accounts: how to avoid bans and ensure ad stability?

A stable advertising account in 2025 is a critical asset for large businesses and digital agencies. Sometimes a single ban on an agency account pauses dozens or even hundreds of ad campaigns, stops the sales funnel, and causes losses. In this article, we will discuss the most common reasons for blocking an agent account, the correct advertising account setup and setup of payment methods to avoid bans, and what to do if the platform has blocked an advertising account.

Main reasons for blocking agency accounts

Regardless of the advertising platform (Meta, Google Ads, TikTok Ads, etc.), blocking is usually caused not by a single action but by a combination of risk signals.

1. Violation of advertising policy

• Forbidden or “red” niches (gambling, crypto, some nutra products, medicine without evidence base, adult),
• False promises like “100% guaranteed profit” or “‎-15 kg in 3 days”,
• Clickbait and disinformation in headlines and ad copy.

2. Violations of rules regarding creatives and landing pages

• Overly explicit images, shock content, scenes of violence,
• Before/after photos (in weight loss, cosmetology, medical topics),
• Emphasis on “sensitive characteristics”: health, age, religion, financial status.

3. Suspicious payment activity

• Regularly declined charges and attempts to “push through” a payment on the tenth try,
• Several cards and payment profiles added in a short period, frequent card changes,
• Disputed transactions from the bank or the client,
• Geo mismatch (the agent account is registered in one region, but payment is made from cards issued in another country).

4. Technical “suspicious” account behavior and aggressive scaling

• Frequent changes of IP address or devices,
• Many different people are logging into the same account without a clear access structure,
• Mass changes to settings on a new account,
• A sharp jump in budget “from 0 to $1,000/day” with no prior history,
• Cloning the same creatives into maтy campaigns.

5. Low account reputation

• A high percentage of complaints about ads (“Report ad”),
• Low ad quality scores (relevance, quality score),
• Previous bans of the page,
• The account is linked to suspended or blocked user profiles or business accounts.

The more of these factors are present at the same time, the higher the risk that the platform has blocked an advertising account or suspended it. 

Setting up an advertising account to avoid blocking

To reduce the risk of blocking an agent account, it’s important to handle advertising account setup correctly from the very beginning, not when “everything is on fire”. 

Proper configuration of access, tracking, and billing is key. For safe agent account setup, follow these steps:

• Verify your business: fill in the real name, legal address, website, contacts; verify the domain; add a privacy policy and supporting documents.

• Build an access structure: assign roles based on the principle of minimum necessary rights (admins, advertisers, analysts), grant access through official tools rather than sharing “login/password,” and regularly clean up unnecessary access.

• Warm up the account: start with low budgets and simple objectives (traffic, engagement, content views), use “white” creatives and topics. Increase budgets gradually, by 20–30% at a time.

• Use stable IP addresses, work from one or two devices, and do not log in from different countries.

• Standardize the look of your landing page and creatives.

• Use a single payment profile.

• Regularly check whether there are any rejected ads or warnings in the account.

To reduce the risk of bans, you should treat agent account setup as part of your overall risk management, not as a one-time technical step.

How to set up payments to avoid banning?

The payment side is one of the most common risk indicators of blocking. Here, stability and transparency of the agent account setup are critical:

• Align the account geo and payment method (if you work globally, it’s better to have separate accounts and billing for different markets).

• Use official accounts — the best option is to connect a corporate card or company bank account issued to the same legal entity or owner that is specified in the account.

• Do not change payment cards too often, and if you have to change one, avoid sharp budget spikes for some time afterward.

• Ensure the card always has enough balance, so that transactions are not declined.

• Avoid suspicious payment instruments, such as anonymous virtual cards from dubious services. Choose only licensed fintech services.

• Resolve budget disputes with contracts and acts, not by chargebacks and payment reversals through the bank.

• Keep business documents and payment details at hand in case of a manual check.

The purpose of payment configuration is to make the account look as stable as possible in the eyes of the advertising platform.

Which agency accounts are the least likely to get banned?

There are no completely “un-killable” accounts, but some types of ad accounts “live” longer — that is, they get blocked or suspended less frequently. Among them:

• Official agency accounts — created through official partners or certified platform agencies. Such accounts have higher limits, manual creative reviews, and priority support from managers.

Tech4you.io accounts are exactly this type, because since 2020 we have been official partners of more than 15 advertising platforms. Leave a request and we will help you get an agency account for any platform professionally, officially, and with full support.

• Accounts with a long history of stable spending: they have been running for months or years without sudden jumps in budgets and topics, and without rejected ads, appeals, or bans.
• Fully verified accounts: they have confirmed business and responsible-person documents, a verified domain, brand page, contact details, and bank accounts.
• Accounts with “white” topics and transparent offers (classic e-commerce, education, services, SaaS, local business)
• Accounts with a clean payment history: a single payment method, no declined transactions, “even” spending over time, rare card changes.

Ad platforms also tend to “like” accounts with a tidy access structure, accounts with internal compliance processes, and accounts that do not combine all possible verticals in one place.

What should I do if my agent account is blocked?

If your advertising account has been blocked or suspended, it is important to act systematically.

Short algorithm: how to unlock an advertising account:

• Stop and figure it out: carefully read the letter from the platform, record the ban, take screenshots of the main screens.

• Analyze recent changes: which campaigns, creatives, and niches were launched 1–7 days before the block.

• Analyze whether payment methods or proxies were changed, whether there was a spike in complaints, or a sharp budget increase.

• Prepare an appeal: describe what your business does and what you are advertising, explain that you have no intention of violating policies, admit mistakes if needed, add links to your website and social media (it is important not to write aggressively or in templates).

• Disable or adjust suspicious campaigns and ads.

• Have a backup option: a spare account or ad account on another platform.
