GDT Agency Facebook Agency Account Stability & Trust Score Internal Report 2025

In 2025, GDT Agency achieved a major milestone, solidifying our position as a premier Meta Business Partner with a total annual ad spend surpassing $144 million. By providing over 20000 Facebook agency accounts, we have met the growth demands of our 5,000 diverse clients. This internal Facebook Agency Account Stability Report provides an in-depth analysis of our client portfolio, account survival rate of our Facebook agency accounts in 2025, as well as the predicted metrics in 2026.

Executive Summary:

In 2025, GDT Agency currently provides a massive agency ad account for 5,000 active clients, with a stable foundation, consisting of 20,000 total agency accounts, in which 80% of our clients operate in low-risk sectors.

GDT Agency processed an average monthly ad spend of $12,000,000, with a total annual advertising expenditure of $144,000,000.

Client Portfolio Analysis

GDT Agency provided Facebook agency accounts for a total of 5,000 clients that come from different industry sectors in White Hat and Black Hat.

Though our customers come from various industry sectors with distinct features, our rental agency account can still effectively manage risks, and we are still supporting a total monthly flow of $12 million across our account network.

Here is a detailed statistic of our customers in the two industry sectors.

1. White Hat Category: This is our primary stability anchor with 4000 clients.

2. Black Hat Category: This sector consists of 1000 clients who require a higher level of backup.

Key Stability Indicators: Ad Review Time & Ad Compliance Score Analysis

In the current landscape of performance marketing, stability is the new growth. While most advertisers focus on ROAS or CPA, the true ceiling of any campaign is determined by its Key Stability Indicators (KSIs).

By analyzing Ad Review Time and Ad Compliance Scores, we move beyond surface-level metrics to understand the health of our Facebook agency ad account.

Ad Review Time

In the fast-paced world of digital advertising, every minute an ad sits in Pending Review is a minute of lost revenue and wasted momentum. For GDT Agency, our agency ad account is designed to bypass the restrictions that appear in standard accounts.

In 2025, our internal data confirmed a significant performance gap between GDT Agency accounts and Personal/Business Manager (BM) accounts.

According to Facebook Business Help Center, Meta states that most ads are reviewed within 24 hours. Sometimes it is beyond 24 hours, especially during peak seasons or policy updates.

In the meantime, GDT Agency has maintained a consistent ad review time under 30 minutes. This is because Meta’s algorithms prioritize accounts from established Business Partners with high historical spend and let them skip the manual review queues.

Internal Insight: For our 5,000 clients, this speed advantage represents an estimated 15% increase in operational efficiency, as media buyers spend less time troubleshooting In Review statuses and more time optimizing active campaigns.

Ad Compliance Score

AT GDT Agency, we operate as a pre-filter for Meta. Every client campaign, including creative, copy, and destination URL, undergoes a mandatory internal check by the GDT Team before submission.

Here is the Internal Ad Compliance Score Checklist containing 10 criteria that we often use to check the ad creatives of customers. Each criterion equals one point.

Based on the Internal Ad Compliance Score Checklist and operational data from 20,000 ad accounts in 2025, GDT Agency aggregated the average compliance score by category.

White Hat Sector

These sectors maintain near-perfect scores, enabling instant-approval mechanisms.

Black Hat Sector

Due to the sensitive nature of this vertical, the ACS in this group tends to be lower and requires greater technical intervention from the GDT team to maintain account stability.

The Facebook Agency Account Error Rate of GDT Agency in 2025 (Statistics by Quarter)

In the context of Meta Agency accounts, Error Rate typically refers to the frequency of account disables or technical glitches that interrupt ad delivery.

The Error Rate is a critical metric that tracks the percentage of accounts experiencing Red Status (disables or restrictions) relative to the total active pool.

Below is the Facebook Agency Account Error Rate of GDT Agency in 2025, analyzed on a quarterly basis.

In Quarter 1/2025

In the first quarter of 2025, GDT Agency provided a total of 4640 agency accounts for 1155 clients, in which customers in the white hat sector accounted for 920 customers (2760 accounts), while the black hat sector accounted for 235 customers (1880 accounts).

The Facebook Agency Account Error Rate:

While GDT Agency maintains a low overall error rate, each sector faces different triggers from Meta’s AI. GDT Agency maintains an Overall Error Rate of 6.8% across all 4,640 accounts in Q1/2025.
Below is the breakdown of why these restrictions occurred and how they impacted specific industries.

Primary Reason for Restriction

Even with GDT’s high-trust agency profiles, “Red Status” events occur due to three main technical triggers identified in Q1:

1. Automated Creative Fingerprinting (High Impact: Black Hat)

Meta’s AI uses fingerprinting to identify banned creatives. In sectors like Replica or Nutra, even if the copy is changed, if the image structure resembles a previously banned ad, the system triggers an automatic account disable.

2. Landing Page “Deep Crawling” (High Impact: Crypto/Gambling)

Meta’s crawlers now look beyond the initial landing page. If a Crypto client uses a compliant “bridge page” but the secondary button leads to an unregulated exchange, the account is flagged for “Circumventing Systems.”

3. The “Social Proximity” Flag (High Impact: White Hat)

For E-commerce and Services, accounts are sometimes restricted not because of the ad, but because the associated Page or BM has a low “Customer Feedback Score.”

4. Special Ad Category Sensitivity (High Impact: Professional Services/Auto)

Ads related to housing, credit, or employment (common in Real Estate or FinTech) are subject to strict non-discrimination filters. Failing to select the “Special Ad Category” toggle is the #1 cause of restrictions in the White Hat sector.

Appeal Success Rate:

Despite these triggers, GDT Agency’s recovery power remains our strongest asset. As a Business Partner, our appeals are routed to Human Reviewers, bypassing the automated bot responses that usually reject personal accounts.

The GDT Recovery Rate of Q1/2025 is 89%, and restricted accounts were reinstated within 24 hours.

For the 11% that fail appeal, we provide a new “Warm” account that is activated within 24 hours for the customer to ensure zero downtime.

In Quarter 2/2025

In Quarter 2 of 2025, we saw a slight shift in our client composition.

While the total number of accounts remained stable (4620 accounts), we experienced a growth in the White Hat sector (980 clients – 2940 accounts), which helped offset a more cautious approach in the Black Hat category (210 clients – 1680 accounts).

The Facebook Agency Account Error Rate:

Despite the slight shift in the client mix, our technical interventions allowed us to achieve an even more stable performance compared to Q1.

In this quarter, the Overall Error Rate dropped to 5.4% (down from 6.8% in Q1). This improvement was driven by stricter adherence to the ACS checklist and better “warming” protocols for high-risk accounts.

The reduction in errors during Q2 was not accidental. We identified and mitigated several systemic triggers:

• Refinement of “Creative Hashing”: To combat the high error rates in Replica and Nutra, we advise customers to implement a new creative obfuscation layer. This prevented Meta’s AI from linking new accounts to previously banned visual “footprints,” helping lower the specific error rates in these categories.
• The “Feedback Score” Buffer: For our E-commerce and F&B clients, by catching declining feedback scores early, we rotated accounts before Meta issued a restriction, keeping the error rate under 1%.
• BM Shielding: In Q2, we moved several high-spend Black Hat clients to “Isolated BM” structures. This ensured that a restriction on one account didn’t cause a “chain reaction” disable across the client’s entire backup network.

Appeal Success Rate:

Our recovery rate improved to 91% in Q2. Because our overall portfolio error rate was trending downward, Meta’s automated “Trust Engine” flagged fewer of our appeals for manual rejection.

Most restricted accounts in the White Hat sector were restored in under 12 hours, while Black Hat recoveries averaged 18 – 36 hours.

For 9% fail appeal, we immediately support the customer to migrate the campaign to a fresh, warmed account within 24 hours.

In Quarter 3/2025

In Q3 2025, GDT Agency provided a total of 4,980 agency accounts for 1,260 active clients. Despite the increase in volume and a significant expansion in high-risk categories like Crypto & FinTech, our overall stability remained remarkably high.

The drop from 5.4% in Q2 to 4.2% in Q3, despite a larger account pool, was driven by three core factors:

• “High-Trust” Domain Whitelisting: For our White Hat clients (E-commerce, Travel), we helped implement Business Manager domain verification at scale. This reduced “random” AI checks, keeping the error rate for these sectors below 1%.
• Isolated Data: In the Black Hat sector, specifically for Crypto & FinTech, which grew to 504 accounts, by isolating data tracking from the main account profile, we prevented Meta’s bots from linking account activity to restricted landing pages.
• Optimized Campaigns Follow Our ASC checklist: To avoid restrictions in any specific vertical, we proactively double-check in the ad compliance process with the support of Artificial Intelligence, significantly lowering the overall error rate.

Appeal Success Rate:

Q3 saw our highest recovery rate yet at 93%. By this stage in the year, our Business Manager profiles had accumulated such high Trust Scores with Meta that our appeals were often auto-approved within 8 hours.

Most restricted accounts in the White Hat sector were reinstated within 7 hours, while Black Hat recoveries averaged 12 hours.

In Quarter 4/2025

The final quarter of 2025 saw GDT Agency’s largest expansion, managing 5,760 agency accounts for 1,395 clients, in which the white hat sector accounted for 1080 customers (3240 accounts), while the black hat sector accounted for 315 customers (2520 accounts).

The Facebook Agency Account Error Rate:

Despite the seasonal pressure, we maintained an Overall Error Rate of 3.8%. This represents our strongest performance of the year relative to total volume, proving that our “Priority Review” status is most valuable when the rest of the market is struggling with bans.

For GDT Agency, this was the most challenging period due to the year-end holiday surge, as Meta increases automated auditing to protect users during the high-spend holiday season.

However, thanks to high-level technical strategies as well as the constant dedication of the team to Ad compliance checks, we still maintained an under 4% error rate during the “Q4 Meta Madness”. For us, it was a big achievement.

Appeal Success Rate:

Our Appeal Success Rate peaked at 95% in Q4/2025. This was largely due to the high Spend History our accounts accumulated throughout the year.

Meta’s reviewers prioritize accounts with high historical spend and low lifetime violation rates, allowing us to recover assets that would be permanently lost by individual advertisers.

2025 Year-End Summary

GDT Agency concluded 2025 with:

• Total Annual Ad Spend: $144,000,000
• Total Clients Served: 5,000+
• Average Annual Error Rate: 4.8% (Weighted average)
• Average Appeal Success Rate: 93%

This data confirms that our internal Ad Compliance Score (ACS) and Priority Meta Partnership have created the most stable advertising environment available in the market.

The Facebook Agency Account Error Rate: 2026 Prediction

In 2026, Meta has shifted from simple keyword filtering to advanced Behavioral AI and Cross-Platform Signal Tracking. Meta has introduced three major shifts that every advertiser must navigate:

• Llama-4 Enhanced Creative Auditing: Meta now uses its most advanced LLM to understand the “intent” behind an image or video, making it harder to use traditional “masking” or “hashing” techniques for Black Hat content.
• Entity-Level Linking: Restrictions are no longer just about the Ad Account. Meta now tracks the “Digital Entity” (connecting the Credit Card + IP + Domain + Page Admin). If one element is “toxic,” the entire network is at risk.
• Post-Click Experience (PCE): Meta’s bots now stay on landing pages for longer durations, simulating human behavior to detect hidden redirects or late-loading prohibited content.

The Prediction of Facebook Agency Account Error Rate in 2026

Based on the latest updated information, here is the prediction of our expert for the Facebook agency account error rate in 2026:

2026 Sector-Specific Guidelines & Precautions

Based on the latest information from Meta, our expert teams have discussed together and released the guidelines and precautions for sector-specific:

For White Hat Category (Focus: Quality & Feedback)

1. E-commerce & F&B: The biggest threat in 2026 is “Customer Sentiment Correlation.” Meta now cross-references Instagram comments and DM response times to judge account stability.

→ Precaution: Disable comments on high-spend ads or use automated moderation to remove “scam” or “delivery delay” complaints immediately.

2. Education & Professional Services: Meta has tightened the “Personal Attributes” policy.

→ Precaution: Advertisers should avoid any copy that assumes the user’s financial status or health condition. You should use “Storytelling” frameworks instead of “Direct Questioning” (e.g., replace “Are you in debt?” with “How this strategy changed a student’s life”).

3. Auto & Tech: For the Data & Tech industry, “Data Transparency” is key.
→ Precaution: Advertiser must ensure all lead-gen forms have a clear, clickable link to a valid Privacy Policy that matches the Business Manager name.

4. Mom & Baby: In 2026, the Mom & Baby category faces a unique set of challenges due to Meta’s increased focus on two most sensitive AI safety protocols: Child Safety and Health Misinformation.
→ Precaution: Advertisers should avoid high skin-to-fabric ratios like breastfeeding shots or diaper changes to prevent “Adult Content” false positives. Besides, replace the absolute claims like “Cures colic” or “Guarantees 8h sleep” with soft benefits like “Supports a calm nursery environment.”

For Black Hat Category (Focus: Technical Isolation)

1. Nutra & Cosmetics: Meta is now scanning for “Medical Misinformation” using AI that recognizes specific ingredient names in videos.
→ Precaution: Advertisers should avoid mentioning specific chemical compounds or “guaranteed” timelines (e.g., “7 days”). You should use “Vibe-based” marketing, focusing on the feeling of the result rather than the process.

2. Crypto & FinTech: The focus has shifted to “Regional Licensing.”
→ Precaution: Accounts must be “Geo-fenced.” If an account is registered in the US but targets unregulated regions, it triggers an instant “Business Integrity” ban.

3. Gambling & Betting: Meta is now detecting “Click-Loop” redirects.
→ Precaution: Advertisers should avoid multi-hop redirects. Use “Interactive Quizzes” or “Educational Pre-landers” that provide actual value before the final CTA to bypass the PCE bots.

4. Replica & Counterfeit: “Visual AI Trademark Detection” is at an all-time high.
→ Precaution: Advertisers should avoid high-contrast logos. You should use blurred or stylized versions of brand assets.

5. Vaping & Tobacco: Meta’s enforcement has shifted from simple keyword blocking to “Intent-Based Recognition” using Llama-4, which can identify vaping devices even when obscured by filters.
→ Precaution: Advertisers should avoid direct shots of vapor, clouds, or the act of using the device. Besides, you must strictly avoid CTA language like Buy now or Shop sale because Llama-4 will auto-disable accounts that use glamorizing adjectives or promotional offers.
