A new Facebook profile used to run ads

Ads run through a personal profile. A profile with little history, no friends and no activity that suddenly runs ads can be flagged. Build a normal profile first and keep it in good standing.

YOUR QUESTIONS

Frequently asked questions

Can my business have a profile?

Not as a profile. Use a Page and a portfolio.

How old must the profile be?

No number is published.

Do friends matter?

Not as a rule, but a bare profile looks odd.
