The most frequently asked question: Why can't we run paid ads from Syria?
Recently, the number of questions we receive has increased significantly. Goals Regarding the possibility of running paid ads for Syrian Facebook pages, the reason is clear—business owners and online stores within Syria really need to promote their pages and reach new customers.
لكن الجواب للأسف مو مشجع كتير
Due to policies Meta platform (Facebook and Instagram)Most pages linked to Syrian accounts are now blocked from running ads. Even when the page status is reviewed internally... Business Support HomeIt appears that the ban was issued from a very old date, and there is no “Request Review” option available for review or reactivation.
Direct contact with Facebook: What was the result?
By following us on Goals Our constant communication with the support teams in MetaA lengthy meeting was held a few days ago with the aim of resolving some problems related to several Syrian pages.
The support team tried to manually lift the ban on one of the pages, but unfortunately the result was negative — Lifting the ban was unsuccessful Due to old restrictions on Syrian accounts.
This confirms that the problem Technology and politics at the same timeIt is not just an individual or temporary mistake.
The difference between Facebook and Instagram for Syrian accounts
Real-world experience shows that the greatest ban affects Facebook pages Linked to Syrian accounts, while Instagram Much less sensitive.
This means that even if the account is Syrian, it often faces fewer problems or no advertising bans.
Therefore, the current solution focuses on Leveraging Instagram as an alternative platformEspecially if the business relies on images or videos (such as fashion, clinics, restaurants…).
How do we check the status of our page being blocked?
-
We enter the page Business Support Home Through our account.
-
We review Ad account and page status.
-
If there is an option Request ReviewThis means there is a real opportunity to reactivate.
-
But if the ban is old (as is the case in most instances), then quite simply, This page is now permanently out of advertising service..
The current practical solution for running ads
The most suitable solution currently, based on our experience in Goals He is next
-
construction New Facebook page from Clean and unblocked personal account.
-
The account is preferred From outside Syria (via VPN or a real user from another country).
-
Link the new page to an active Instagram account.
-
Running ads on both platforms Together (Facebook + Instagram) Through an active advertising account and a valid payment method.
This way your ads can start working completely normally without problems, as long as the advertising environment (country - account - payment method) is clean and safe for Meta.
Okay… does it make sense to lose all the previous work on the old pages?
Definitely not, and what happened is truly unfortunate, especially for the page owners who spent years building their audience.
Unfortunately, the platform is very difficult to handle with Syrian accounts at this time, andThere are no radical solutions at the moment. Instead of starting over, we hope that Meta will lift these restrictions in the future.
We are in Goals In our direct communication with Meta representatives, we requested the removal of the red flags (Red Flag Regarding the Syrian accounts, we hope for a positive response soon, God willing.
Hope remains… and cooperation is needed.
We are continuing our efforts to reach official and direct solutions from Meta management, and we are following up on developments with the support teams on a regular basis.
