Targeting Japan and instant ad acc kill.

Hey! It sounds like you’re facing Facebook’s regional targeting restrictions or account flagging issues when targeting Japan. This is a common problem for ad accounts targeting certain regions like JP, as FB’s algorithms can be overly sensitive.

Here are some potential solutions:
1. Warm Up the Account:
Before targeting Japan directly, run generic campaigns (e.g., global targeting or other APAC regions) to establish trust. Gradually introduce Japan as a target.
2. Use Trusted Proxies:
• A high-quality proxy, like NodeMaven, with stable JP IPs can help ensure your ad account doesn’t get flagged for suspicious activity.
• Sticky sessions (up to 24 hours) make your activity look more natural to FB.
3. Test on Aged Accounts:
Use older, well-seasoned FB ad accounts, as they’re less likely to face immediate bans.
4. Ad Content and Structure:
• Avoid sensitive or suspicious keywords even in JP.
• Rotate creatives to test what might be triggering the bans.
5. Try Whitelisting:
If you’re an agency or manage large spends, reach out to FB support for ad account whitelisting.

If you’re interested, I can help you with high-trust JP proxies that many advertisers rely on for smooth FB ad operations. Let me know!

Check Compliance with Facebook Policies
Review Japan-Specific Ad Rules: Facebook enforces strict advertising guidelines that may vary by region. Make sure your ads comply with their policies, especially for Japan.
Translation Accuracy: If you're using Japanese text, ensure it's accurate and contextually appropriate. Poor translations can trigger policy violations.
Experiment with Ad Targeting
Avoid Direct Japan Targeting Initially: Start with a broader audience that includes Japan and narrow down once the account shows activity.
Split Test Ad Creatives: Launch multiple ads with varied creatives and audiences to determine if a specific element is causing the account suspension.
Exclude High-Risk Interests: Avoid targeting sensitive demographics or interests that might be flagged.
Warm Up the Ad Account
Build Trust Slowly: Begin with low-budget campaigns targeting other countries or regions. Gradually include Japan once the account has a history of safe activity.
Engagement Ads: Run non-transactional campaigns (like engagement or awareness ads) to establish credibility.
Proxy and IP Concerns
Avoid Shared or Blacklisted IPs: If you're running ads through a proxy or VPN, ensure it’s not blacklisted or flagged for suspicious activity.
Consistent Logins: Always access the account from the same device and location to avoid triggering Facebook’s security system.
Verify Account and Payment Methods
Use Verified Accounts: Ensure the ad account and business are fully verified.
Legitimate Payment Details: Use a payment method that matches the ad account country and is recognized as trustworthy by Facebook.

Yes. Advertising policy in Japan is very difficult because this country has a high rate of fraudulent advertising. but even if you post pictures of dogs and cats, it's possible the problem is with your account

Japan has extremely strict advertising regulations. Your advertisement may have violated these regulations. It is recommended that you revise the content, reset your campaign using a previously charged account, and use hidden links.

Japan is a pretty strict country about Facebook advertising, because most Japanese users register with fake information to hide their identity, and Facebook prohibits this, so I think you need to change your method from direct advertising to hidden advertising

I am also advertising in the Japanese market and my account keeps getting disabled, I don't know how to fix it

More important is still the advertising content, because it is difficult to censor violating advertising content in Japan

Before advertising a product in any country, you need to carefully learn about the country's regulations for the product you are trying to advertise. I also don't know if your product is on the list of prohibited advertising or difficult to advertise in Japan. Please try to find out more.

You should use accounts that are old and have a spending history.

Currently it is very difficult to advertise in this country, only advertising targeted interactions

Japan is quite strict about advertising on Facebook, they do not want the number of fake accounts selling in their country, they focus a lot on quality so there are items that are on the banned list, pets are also included. is one of those cases, even if you use hidden links, it is still very difficult to advertise

It's currently very difficult to advertise in this country. You need to double- check your product to ensure it complies with Japanese regulations.

Japan is a country with extremely strict advertising policies. Learn more about the regulations for the products you plan to run ads on, and which items are on the prohibited list

What objective are you using for your campaign? You can try this: you can select multiple countries in the ad group section, then limit the country displayed on the page to Japan

Japan in 2021 enacted laws to tighten online advertising, making advertising in Japan almost impossible

Does anyone know how to campaign in Singapore?

Facebook has an animal protection policy, so when you use pictures of dogs and cats, it's understandable to upload them and get banned immediately.

I have to reject advertisers if I advertise in Japan because I can't create a campaign in that country.

What product are you advertising? Each country will have its own regulations on advertising. When you want to target that country to run ads, you can read the regulations to avoid getting caught.
