Common Reasons for Meta (Facebook Ads) Restrictions
Now, let’s explore the main culprits behind restricted advertising access:
Policy Violations: This is the most frequent cause. Facebook has strict advertising policies covering content, categories, misinformation, and more. Some common violations include:
- Sexually Explicit Content: No suggestive or sexually explicit imagery or content is allowed.
- Prohibited Categories: Advertising certain items like weapons, drugs, or financial products is restricted.
- Misinformation & Sensational Content: False news, clickbait, or exaggerated claims can get your ads flagged.
- Bad Grammar & Inflammatory Content: Maintain proper grammar and avoid hate speech or offensive content.
- Unacceptable Business Practices: Deceptive or misleading offers, fake celebrity endorsements, or exaggerated product claims are prohibited.
- Low-Quality Content: Cropped images, misleading visuals, or irrelevant landing pages can trigger restrictions.
- Personal Attributes: Targeting ads based on assumed medical conditions, demographics, or sexual orientation is not allowed.
Too Many Rejected Ads: Repeated policy violations can lead to a restricted ad account. If you encounter frequent ad rejections, it’s best to review Facebook’s advertising policies and adjust your ads accordingly.
Suspicious Account Activity: Facebook might restrict your account for security reasons if they detect suspicious activity, such as hacking attempts, unusual spending on new accounts, or using fake profiles to run ads.
Negative Ad Feedback: Users can leave feedback on your ads. Consistent negative feedback, like hiding or reporting your ads, can lead to disabled ads and potentially a restricted account.
