Well, if it helps anyone, I just don't think it's possible to set up a new Facebook account then use it to start a business page. My partner just tried it - her real email, nothing weird - and after 4 hours of configuring settings, blocked. Did the video thing on the iPhone, appeal rejected.

I guess you have to have actual history of being logged in to and using Facebook so, lol, no thanks.

Meta is obviously Bad these days. I advise not engaging and giving them more money and insight into your life and business.

Friend, I know. See above: cancelled any number of accounts over the years.

Alas, I'm trying to run a business. I'd like to reach millions of 'normal people' easily and cheaply. If you know of another way (and I mean literally any other way (that isn't Google)), I'm all ears.

Same thing happened to me. I tried to open a business account, instantly banned. I don’t care enough to attempt fixing it.
