The problem

One morning the account's just gone

No warning, no human to talk to, and a model that was paying the bills now earns nothing. Or the account's fine, but there are three copies of her running your content and sending your fans somewhere else. Sound familiar?

The ban came out of nowhere

An AI label you didn't add. A wave of reports from a competitor. A post read as something it wasn't. Instagram rarely says which, and the reason decides how the appeal should be built.

The appeal goes nowhere

You hit the button, get an automated reply and wait. Try again, same reply. Every day it stays down is lost income and fans drifting off.

Your model gets cloned

Someone screenshots her posts, builds a lookalike profile and points the link in bio at their own page. Your fans subscribe to the fake and you find out last.

The clone comes back

You get one removed. A week later it's back with a new handle, the same images and the same link. Report each from scratch and you're doing the same job forever.

Why DIY doesn't work

Instagram gives you a form. Not an answer.

Meta has appeal buttons and reporting routes. They take the submission. Working out what went wrong, building a case worth reading and spotting the same clone when it returns is still on you.

The in-app appeal

One box, very little room to explain and an automated first review. No way to show you're a disclosed AI creator running a real business.

DMCA reports

Often the wrong tool for AI content. Copyright protection for fully AI-generated images is limited, so these claims can come back weak.

Impersonation reports

Built around real people and registered brands. An AI persona sits awkwardly between the two, so these get rejected when filed like a human's.

Pick the wrong route and the case stalls while the fake keeps posting. Picking the right one is most of the job.

What we do

Take down. Recover. Protect.

Recover

From "account disabled" to back online

Every recovery runs the same four steps, so nothing gets guessed and nothing gets sent twice.

Meta makes the final call on every recovery. Nobody can guarantee it, and anyone who does is selling you something. We promise the strongest case, filed the right way, and a straight answer if yours can't be won.

  1. 01
    Find out why it went down
    We look at the notice, recent posts, bio, link and labels. The reason decides the route, so this comes first.
  2. 02
    Build the case
    Proof it's a legitimate, disclosed AI creator, evidence of ownership and a clear account of what happened. Written to be read by a person.
  3. 03
    File and follow up
    Through the route that fits the ban. We track every response and re-file where it makes sense.
  4. 04
    Harden the account
    Once it's back, we fix whatever got it flagged so it doesn't go down again next month.
Take down

Find the fakes. Report them. Catch them when they come back.

A clone isn't a one-off. It's usually one person running several accounts, and it keeps returning until someone tracks it properly.

  1. 01
    Detect
    We watch for accounts using your model's face, name, images and Reels, including lookalike handles.
  2. 02
    Check
    Fan pages and people just talking about her get filtered out. What's left gets the right route.
  3. 03
    Report
    Impersonation, trademark, copyright or platform policy, whichever the case actually supports.
  4. 04
    Track
    When a clone returns under a new handle, it lands on the existing case instead of starting from zero.
  5. 05
    Follow the money
    Most clones exist to push fans to a paid page. Where the evidence supports it, we report there too.
Protect

The cheapest recovery is the one you never need

We audit your model's account the way a reviewer would see it and fix what's likely to get it flagged. Then we keep an eye on it every month.

This lowers the risk. It doesn't remove it. Instagram changes its rules often, which is exactly why this runs monthly rather than once.

Why IGGuard

We only do AI models. That's the point.

Specialists, not generalists

Big brand-protection firms are built for sneaker brands. AI creators get different bans, different rights questions and different clones.

One team, start to finish

The people who get your account back are the same people watching for clones afterwards. No handing your history to a second company.

Straight answers

If we don't think your case can be won, we tell you before you pay for anything. Quite frankly, that's rarer than it should be.

Your account stays yours

We ask only for the access a case needs, explain why, and you change your password the moment we're done.

Questions people ask

Can you guarantee you'll get my account back?+

No, and be careful of anyone who says they can. Meta makes the final decision on every recovery. We find out why it went down and file the strongest case through the right route. If we think yours can't be won, we tell you before you pay.

How long does recovery take?+

It depends on why the account was removed and how Meta responds. Some come back in days, some take a few weeks. You'll get updates throughout.

Do you need my login?+

Only if a case actually needs it, and we'll explain why first. Change your password the moment we're done.

Can't I just appeal myself?+

You can, and sometimes it works. The trouble is most people send the default appeal, get an automated no and don't know what to try next. We know which routes exist and which one fits your ban.

Can I file a DMCA against a clone of my AI model?+

Sometimes, but it's often not the strongest option. Copyright protection for fully AI-generated images is limited, so impersonation, trademark or policy reports frequently work better. We work out which applies before reporting anything.

Do you work with agencies running several models?+

Yes. Send us the roster in a DM and we'll cover every model under one point of contact.

Every day it's down costs you money

Send us the account on Instagram and get a straight answer on what happened and what we'd do. No obligation, no pressure.
