For Black Hat Page Limited accounts, we work with a partnered provider to keep our clients' account types separate. The accounts are equally high quality, but top-ups are restricted to our partner's working hours
Are there minimum spending requirements?
No, you can use our agency ad accounts no matter your level of scale. After the initial top-up, you can continue to top-up as much or as little as you would like. We have no requirements for spending.
Can I use my Pages and Business Managers?
Yes, you can use your Pages and BMs, but they must not have been used with a Hong Kong-based ad account before, except for Aurora-made ad accounts. If you need a new BM and/or Pages, we can provide these also. Please contact your Account Manager for more information.
How do account bans and appeals work?
Our agency accounts are highly trusted, making random blocks or restrictions unlikely. If an account does get restricted, we will request an appeal with the Meta team.
After appealing, some clients regain access within hours if the restriction is false, while others may take a few days. Often, the issue is due to flagged assets rather than the ad account itself. In these cases, you might need to disconnect each asset individually to identify the flagged one.
In the rare case that an appeal is rejected, we will provide a replacement account and transfer all remaining funds from the restricted account to the new one. This only typically happens with major policy violations.
Where are the accounts located?
We work with Meta in multiple locations globally to provide coverage for clients in all locations. Enterprise-level ad accounts from any country are equally highly trusted and offer stable, consistent performance with potentially cheaper results. Meta’s auction process doesn’t consider the account’s location.
Do you offer post-payment or credit facilities?
No, unfortunately, we do not offer any post-payment or credit for clients. All payments for our agency accounts must be made in advance. However, if you wish to use a credit card to top-up your account, you can do so.
Do you charge any tax or VAT on advertising spend?
No, we do not charge any taxes, value-added taxes or markups on advertising spend.
