Facebook Support: How to Contact Facebook for Help [March 2024]

Banned from using Message Tags or billed for a rejected ad? You should contact Facebook Support for help. In this blog post, we’ll be answering questions like why you need assistance from Facebook and how to contact the Facebook Help team. Plus, you will learn the dos and don’ts when contacting them.

Why You Need Facebook Support

If you are using Facebook Messenger for business, you will likely find yourself in a situation where Facebook Help is needed. Below is a list of situations where you might need to contact Facebook:

You have been banned from using Facebook Message Tags
Your Facebook Ads have been rejected or not delivered properly
Your Facebook Page has been disabled without warning
Your Facebook Business verification has failed
You experience technical issues on Facebook

Here's the bad news - getting help from Facebook is not as straightforward as you think. Some Facebook Support contact options are not available to everyone and the Account menu hides the contact form.

How to Contact Facebook Support

How does one reach out to Facebook for assistance? There are a few ways to get in touch with Facebook customer support:

The support forms in Facebook Business Help Center
Live chat support in Facebook Business Help Center
The Something Went Wrong contact form
Email Facebook Support
Message Official Facebook Pages

Sadly, the support forms and Facebook chat support are only available for certain users or ad accounts, while the live chat might only be available during business hours.

Fortunately, Facebook has a number of specialized forms for common issues or questions that can be accessed by anybody. Such forms include payments support for any issues with paying for ads, copyright report to report content that violates or infringes on your copyright, and trademark report to report alleged infringements on your trademarks.

For issues not covered in the forms above, there’s a more generic form you can use.

1. Log in to your Facebook account.

2. On your Facebook Page, click on the account dropdown menu on the top right corner of your screen.

Best Practices When Contacting Facebook Support

Want to get better and faster help from Facebook? We’ve put together a list of best practices when contacting Facebook Help Center.

Check Out Facebook Business Help Center Beforehand

As we know, Facebook isn't exactly responsive to support requests. Before reaching out to them for assistance, try looking for a solution in the Facebook Business Help Center which covers a comprehensive list of support topics.

Unless you are dealing with a complex issue, chances are you will find a solution in the Help Center without contacting Facebook Support. However, if you need help from a real person, read on to find out how you can expedite the process.

Choose the Right Area & Topic

Choosing the right Area and Topic in the contact form helps Facebook pass your inquiry to the right department.

For instance, if you are charged for an undelivered Ad, select Ad as the Area, Billing and Payments as the Topic, and Billed for a rejected ad as Topic Details.

Be Descriptive With Your Response

To help the agent understand your issue, provide as much information as possible when describing your issue or sending an appeal.

If you are banned from using Message Tags due to policy violations, respond with a detailed explanation of why the mistake occurred. For example, the new agent was not familiar with the Message Tag rules. Then justify why the ban should be lifted.

While you want to give all the details, get straight to the point and don’t ramble on. Don’t include any irrelevant information or worse, going on and on about the losses your business has suffered due to the ban. Complaining will get you nowhere!

Open Another Ticket If Yours Gets Closed

Sometimes, Facebook may close your support ticket when the issue is not fully resolved. Remember, just because Facebook closed your support request doesn't mean it’s over. You can just open a new one using the Something Went Wrong contact form.

Be Patient

Patience is a virtue, especially when it comes to Facebook Support. Even if you have given a detailed account of your problem, you may have to repeatedly explain it to different support agents who send you canned responses.
