I’ve noticed Facebook is scanning Business Manager accounts a lot lately. It seems safer to run campaigns from personal advertising accounts to avoid mass account flags.

For those actively running FB ads, are you also limiting the use of BM accounts? How are you managing campaigns now to reduce the risk of account reviews or bans? Any tips for keeping things stable without losing access to tools or ad spend?

I also limit the number of ad accounts per BM. Too many linked accounts get flagged quickly.
 
Rotate ad creatives and avoid sudden spend spikes. That helps reduce the attention your account draws.
 
Honestly, BM is still useful for tracking and scaling, but treat it like a secondary option and keep personal accounts as primary.

Yeah, I’ve been leaning more on personal accounts too to avoid the extra scrutiny, but it’s all about balancing safety with proper account setups—just keep everything clean and spread things out to lower risk!
 
Yeah, a lot of people are leaning on personal accounts with light spend to stay under the radar—just keep everything clean and avoid linking too much too fast.
 
Yeah, personal ad accounts can be safer than BMs, just keep spending steady, avoid sudden changes, and rotate creatives carefully.
 
I’d stick with Business Manager for the structure and control, but keep everything clean—don’t mix personal accounts, verify everything, and avoid sketchy ads. That way, you're less likely to get flagged!
 
I’m definitely using personal accounts more lately—keeps things under the radar. Just keep everything clean, avoid too many sudden changes, and use VPNs to mask location if possible.
 
I’d still use Business Manager—just keep everything legit (no weird billing, clear policies), and don’t overdo the ad spend too quickly. Split tests and low budgets help reduce risk.
 
Honestly I’d focus less on dodging scans and more on clean compliance—stable pages, clear creatives, policy-safe offers, and slow scaling keep both personal and BM accounts healthier long-term.
 
I stick mostly to personal accounts, run slow and small, rotate creatives and audiences, BM only for big campaigns
 
Running ads from personal accounts may reduce scans, but diversifying setups helps keep campaigns stable.
 
Yes, FB checks are stricter many are using aged personal ad accounts and scaling slowly to stay safe.
 
I’ve seen the same trend, and a lot of advertisers are adjusting how they use Business Manager rather than abandoning it completely.
