Sharing on behalf of another small business owner based in Stalybridge, Facebook can be an absolute ar*!hole when it comes to small businesses. The majority of the time its not even anything we have done, its robots/AI deciding to put us on a naughty step for no reason. Anyway she's a little, shall we say "sweary" so if your easily offended then I her page is not for you, but her products are amazing, hilarious and reasonably priced. And best of all she's local so your supporting small local businesses.
Honestly, this is absolutely gutting.
I’ve put so much time, effort and hard work into growing this page and building this community, so seeing my page now sitting at “Page is at risk” when I genuinely haven’t done anything wrong is incredibly disheartening.
And the worst part is that it’s now affecting my actual business.
My reach and visibility have dropped massively, which means fewer people are seeing my products, fewer orders are coming in and ultimately it’s having a direct impact on my income.
I’ve spoken to Meta and asked them for a timeframe on when this will be resolved.
Their answer?
They don’t know.
It could be a week.
It could be months.
It could apparently even be a year.
How am I supposed to run a small business when I have no idea how long my page is going to be restricted for?
I’ve spent years building this page, creating products, posting, interacting with you all and growing this community. To have all of that affected because Facebook has restricted my page despite me doing nothing wrong is honestly heartbreaking.
I’m not giving up, though.
So if you’re still seeing my posts, please like, comment, share or even just leave a random comment. It genuinely helps get my posts back in front of people.
And if you’ve ever bought from me, shared my posts, recommended me or supported my little business in any way — thank you. It means more than you probably realise.
Right now I just need Facebook to stop hiding me in the bloody corner and let me get back to doing what I actually do.
Creating stuff, making people laugh and selling my s**t. 😩
