Understanding Agency Ad Accounts: Domain and Page Limits Explained

Before diving into the details, let’s first understand what agency ad accounts are. These are specialized ad accounts provided by Meta to large agencies to support their advertising needs. These agencies often handle massive budgets and require tailored solutions to run ads effectively. Using regular ad accounts for such large-scale campaigns can lead to complications, which is why Meta offers these specialized accounts.

Some agencies share these accounts with others for a fee, allowing smaller advertisers to leverage their privileges. This arrangement is commonly referred to as agency ad accounts. However, these accounts often come with specific restrictions, such as domain locking and page locking.

What is Domain Locking in Agency Ad Accounts?

Domain locking refers to the restriction that allows you to run ads only for specific approved domains connected to the ad account. For example, if your ad account is approved for Domain A, you cannot run ads for Domain B unless it is also connected to the account. Once a domain is linked, it is permanently locked, and you cannot change or update it.

This restriction is primarily found in agency ad accounts from the Hong Kong (HK) region. While the exact reason for this limitation is unclear, it is likely tied to Meta’s policies and agreements with its partners.

What is Page Locking in Agency Ad Accounts?

Similar to domain locking, page locking restricts the number of Facebook pages you can connect to an ad account. Once a page is linked, you cannot add or replace it with a new page. The number of pages you can connect varies by agency, typically ranging from 5 to 10 pages.

If you need to run ads on a page that isn’t connected to your ad account, you’ll need to apply for a new ad account with the new assets (domain and pages). Once approved, you can use the new account to run ads.

How to Avoid Domain and Page Limits

If you want to avoid these restrictions, consider working with agencies outside the HK region. For instance, agency ad accounts from the EU region do not have domain or page locking. However, they come with their own set of rules. For example, you can only run ads on one domain and one page at a time. If you want to switch to a new domain or page, you must stop running ads on the current one and replace it.

Types of Agency Ad Accounts with No Limits

Agency ad accounts with no domain or page restrictions are rare. These limits are typically imposed to prevent spam and misuse. However, if you want to bypass these restrictions, look for agencies that offer ad accounts from regions other than HK.

Conclusion

Domain and page limits in agency ad accounts depend on the region of the account. HK-based accounts often have stricter restrictions, allowing 5-10 domains and pages, while EU-based accounts allow only one domain and page at a time but without locking.
