Why Was My Facebook Ad Rejected?

Quick Answer

Facebook ads are often rejected because of prohibited claims, personal attributes, misleading before-and-after content, restricted products, or landing page mismatch. Fix the exact policy risk, make the landing page consistent, then request review with a clear explanation.

Why this happens

Facebook review evaluates the ad, account context, page, landing page, and product category. A compliant-looking image can still fail if the copy or landing page creates a policy issue.

Common reasons

  • Copy implies personal attributes or sensitive conditions.
  • Creative includes before-and-after comparisons.
  • Claims are too specific, exaggerated, or unsupported.
  • Landing page content does not match the ad.
  • The product sits in a restricted or sensitive category.

How to fix it

  • Remove language that calls out the user personally.
  • Make claims more careful and evidence-based.
  • Align the landing page headline, offer, and disclaimers.
  • Avoid sensational imagery and unrealistic results.
  • Request review only after material changes are made.
