How to Get Unlimited Facebook Ad Accounts
Chasing unlimited Facebook ad accounts often feels like you're trying to solve a puzzle with missing pieces. You hit a limit, face a restriction, or dread the "account disabled" notification, all of which stalls your campaigns and growth. We’ll skip the risky shortcuts and show you the professional, sustainable way to expand your advertising capacity on Facebook for your business or agency.
Why Would You Need More Than One Ad Account?
First, let's clarify why having multiple ad accounts is a common business need, not just some "growth hack." Legitimate advertisers often require more than one account for clear, practical reasons.
For Businesses & Entrepreneurs: If you operate multiple distinct brands or business ventures, mixing them in one ad account is messy. You'd be sharing a single Facebook Pixel, muddling your audience data, and making financial reporting a nightmare. Separate ad accounts keep a clean, clear line between each business's data, billing, and performance.
For Agencies: This is the most common use case. Running campaigns for multiple clients under a single agency ad account is a recipe for disaster. It blends client data, makes reporting incredibly difficult, and puts your entire business at risk if one client's advertising violates a policy. The professional standard is to manage each client within their own dedicated ad account.
Testing & Risk Management: Some advanced advertisers like to use a separate account to test more aggressive campaigns or new verticals. This isolates the risk, ensuring that if an experimental ad gets flagged, it doesn’t take down the main account that powers your core business.
The Foundation: Understanding Your Default Ad Account
Every personal Facebook profile comes with a personal ad account attached to it by default. You can access it through Ads Manager. While it’s fine for running a few ads for a small side project, it's not built for serious business.
Why? Because it's tied directly to you as an individual. You can't easily share access with team members, and if your personal profile gets restricted for any reason, you lose your advertising capabilities. For any legitimate business, the personal ad account is a starting point, not a long-term solution. Your goal should be to move all advertising operations into a Meta Business Manager.
How to Grow Your Ad Account Limit: The Right Way
The safest and most reliable way to get more Facebook ad accounts is by using Meta's own platform designed for this exact purpose: the Meta Business Manager (sometimes called Business Suite). This is the free central hub for managing all your business assets - from your Facebook Pages and Instagram accounts to Pixels and, most importantly, ad accounts.
Step 1: Create a Meta Business Manager Account
If you don't have one, this is your first step. It’s the gatekeeper to expanding your ad account limit and managing assets professionally.
Click “Create an account.”
Enter your business name, your name, and your business email address. Use legitimate and accurate information. Facebook verifies these details, and using fake information is a quick way to get shut down.
Follow the prompts to complete the setup.
Step 2: Understand and Check Your Ad Account Limit
A brand new Business Manager account typically starts with an ad account creation limit of one. This means you can create one new ad account directly within it. Facebook sets this limit low to prevent spammers from creating hundreds of accounts at once.
To check your current limit:
Navigate to your Business Settings inside your Business Manager.
In the left-hand menu, scroll down and click on Business Info.
Look for the “Ad Account Creation Limit.” It will show you a number (e.g., 1, 3, 5, etc.).
Step 3: Increase Your Limit Through Compliant Advertising
Here’s the part everyone wants to know: how do you get that number to go up? There isn't a "request more accounts" button. You earn an increase by demonstrating to Meta that you are a legitimate, trustworthy advertiser.
As you actively and responsibly spend money in your initial ad account(s), Meta’s system will automatically increase your creation limit. Here’s what you need to do:
Follow the Rules: The most important factor is maintaining a healthy, compliant account history. Scrupulously follow Meta's Advertising Policies. Having ads rejected or, worse, an account shut down is the fastest way to signal you are a risky advertiser and have your limit frozen.
Spend Money Consistently: Actively use the ad account you do have. An account that is spending its budget consistently is more likely to be granted a higher limit than one that is dormant.
Pay Your Bills On Time: Always ensure your payment method is valid and has sufficient funds. Failed payments are a major red flag for Meta’s systems.
Be patient. This increase doesn’t happen overnight. It can take a few weeks or months of consistent, compliant advertising spend to see your limit increase from 1 to 3, then 3 to 5, and so on.
The "Unlimited" Method for Agencies and Freelancers
As an agency, creating dozens of ad accounts under your own Business Manager isn't scalable or correct. Your account creation limit is irrelevant here. The professional and truly "unlimited" approach is to request access to your clients' ad accounts as a partner.
In this model, the client owns their ad account and their data (like their Pixel). You, the agency, are simply granted permission to manage it on their behalf. You can manage hundreds of client accounts this way without affecting your own ad account limit.
How to Request Access to a Client's Ad Account:
The client needs to have their own Business Manager account. If they don't, you should guide them through creating one and adding their Facebook Page and ad account to it.
Ask them for their Business Manager ID. They can find this under Business Settings > Business Info.
In your own Business Manager, go to Business Settings.
Under the “Users” section, click on Partners.
Click the “Add” button and select “Ask a partner to share their assets.”
Enter your client’s Business Manager ID.
On the next screen, you can request access to their assets. Choose “Ad Accounts,” find their ad account in the list, and select the level of access you need (e.g., “Manage Campaigns”).
Once you send the request, your client will get a notification in their Business Manager and will need to approve it. After approval, their ad account will appear in your Business Manager, ready for you to manage.
This is the gold standard for agencies. It protects both you and the client, keeps all data cleanly separated, and allows you to scale your services to an unlimited number of clients without ever worrying about ad account creation limits.
What to Avoid at All Costs
The internet is full of bad advice on this topic. Here are the "shortcuts" that will almost certainly end with all of your accounts being permanently disabled.
Buying Ad Accounts: These accounts are a scam. They are typically created with fake profiles or are stolen accounts with a pre-existing bad reputation. Meta’s AI is incredibly good at detecting suspicious login activity, and these accounts are shut down almost immediately. You will lose your money and any data you put into them.
Using Multiple Personal Profiles: Creating fake Facebook profiles to get more ad accounts is a direct and serious violation of Facebook’s terms of service. Their systems will eventually link the fraudulent accounts and ban them all, including your real one.
Using Family or Friends' Accounts: Do not go down this road. If an ad you run gets your friend’s personal Facebook account or ad account banned, you’ve created a real-world problem for a simple business need. It’s unprofessional and not worth the risk.
