Are you considering closing your Facebook Ads Account? Maybe you have completed your advertising campaigns, or perhaps you just want to back away from social media marketing for a while. Whatever your reason, the process is simple but not immediately apparent. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to close your Facebook Ads Account.
Step 1: Navigate to the Settings Page
First, you need to log in to your Facebook account and then go to the ‘Settings’ page. The settings page can be accessed by clicking on the arrow located in the top-right corner of your Facebook homepage. Select ‘Settings & Privacy’, then ‘Settings’ from the drop-down menu.
Step 2: Access the Ad Account Settings
Once you’re in your account’s settings, click on ‘Ads’ located on the left side of the screen. You’ll then see a section named ‘Ad Account Settings’. Click on it.
Step 3: Deactivate Ad Account
In the Ad Account Settings, you will see a red button labeled ‘Deactivate Ad Account’. Click on this button. A pop-up will appear asking you to confirm your account deactivation. It’s important to note that once you deactivate your account, you won’t be able to reactivate it again. You’ll also lose access to your ads history and reporting data.
Step 4: Confirm Deactivation
Lastly, you will need to confirm your decision. Facebook will ask you for your password to confirm that it’s indeed you who wants to deactivate the account. After entering your password, click on ‘Submit’.
Your Facebook Ads account should now be deactivated. It’s important to note that deactivating your Facebook Ads Account does not deactivate your main Facebook account. You can still use Facebook as normal – the deactivation only applies to your ability to create ads.
Wrapping Up
That’s it! You’ve successfully deactivated your Facebook Ads account. Keep in mind that Facebook allows you to manage multiple ad accounts. If you have more than one, you’ll need to repeat the steps above for each account you want to deactivate. And remember, once you deactivate an account, the action is final.
