Facebook Ads rejected? What caused it?
Facebook offers a wide range of prohibited and restricted content in its policy. The content that is restricted is permitted but you must follow specific rules, usually depending on the location you live in. Content that is prohibited is not allowed on Facebook.
There’s a more extensive list of reasons, but these are a few of the primary reasons why Facebook ads are rejected because of violations with restricted content:
Illegal content is for certain events for instance, if you want to target ads that promote alcohol for those who are under 21 within the United States.
Discriminatory content.
Ads that utilize Facebook branding assets.
Adverts that violate trademarks or copyrights.
Screenshots of the User Interface.
Lead ads required sensitive information such as criminal history health, criminal history, or sexual orientation.
Ads that are poorly placed or inaccurate descriptions of products or images that are not relevant.
ads that are designed to make people feel different or incite.
Content restricted to certain locations and people, such as social issues, cryptocurrencies as well as pharmaceutical medications.
Of course, there are some content that is completely banned from Facebook as content that is prohibited. Some examples include:
Illegal services or products.
Tobacco-related items.
Drug-related ads.
Ammunition and weapons.
Adult content that includes nudity or suggestive images.
False information or sensational content.

How to determine if and why your Facebook advertisement was not accepted
The first step in dealing with the rejection of an advertisement is to determine whether it was rejected at all in the first place. I’ve observed that I’ve never received an email regarding an pending or rejected Facebook Ad, so it’s easy to create an advertisement, then leave Facebook and then discover later that it’s not been running in any way.
We recommend that you stick to Facebook for a couple of minutes to check if the advertisement passed the initial automated testing. In general, it’s recommended to keep checking back with Facebook until you’re sure your ad has passed an “Published” level or “Active” stage.
Let’s say that you clicked one of the Publish and Boost Post Now buttons. You believe you’ve followed the rules , and you’ve created appealing ads and targeted the right target audience. What do you do to determine if the Facebook Ad has been rejected or accepted?
Start by checking the main Facebook profile dashboard. Find an Ads Manager link. Click the button.
There are a variety of ways to view your old advertisements on Facebook like using the Business Suite page or the Ad Center. We believe that using the Ads Manager as the most efficient method of handling both old and new future ads. However, the Business Suite offers additional tools to design larger campaigns.
How do I submit an online review when Facebook ads are not accepted
Every Facebook advertisement goes through a series of automated reviews before they are published. By “automated,” we mean that bots and algorithms handle the bulk of the work. This could be disappointing for people advertising companies as it’s not an easy task to talk to computers or robots about advertising that shouldn’t be rejected. After initial automation, you’ll can get in touch with your Facebook help desk. It’s not a last-minute effortand rarely an effective option, since Facebook customer support might take a long time to respond and, in most cases, they don’t offer any flexibility to your ad.
There are two options to contest the rejection of ads: either automatically through email service.
First, you must send your Facebook advertisement to be approved. The treatment for all ads was the same considering that Facebook has to handle all kinds of ads, from illegal to morally objectionable.
A message is displayed after you have posted an advertisement. It should state you that the Ad Status is Under Review.
Use these methods to verify what’s happening with your ads visit the Ads Manager and see what’s happening to your most recent advertisement.
A general advertisement that is in compliance with all rules and appears professional enough for publication will be given the”green “Active” message in front of it.
A green “Rejected” message informs your that an automated Facebook review system has flagged your post for not complying with its guidelines.
If you believe this to be to be a valid point or not it’s impossible to correct the issue, without editing the advertisement and submit it again for further scrutiny.
Thus, click”View Results” beside that Facebook Ad in question.
All Facebook ads that are rejected include the reasons why it was initially rejected.
You will receive a red symbol and a message with a long description of the rule you violated. Most of the time the issue has to relate to the content of the advertisement or the people you had planned to target.
How do you contact support after your ad is rejected
The Facebook Ad rejected for the second time usually falls in a category called “Unchanged,” meaning the rejection status stays the same. A ideal place to check more in-depth information about your status is to go to your Account Quality tab on Facebook.
It is important to keep an eye on this page as excessive problems with your account can result in you barred from posting. You could also be removed from your Facebook account entirely.
Here, you’ll be able to find the ads that are open for review. In the majority of cases, you have one chance to correct the issues, then follow the guidelines and submit it for a second review. If you fail the review, the ad usually is sent in the Unchanged bin, which means it isn’t editable. In this case you’ll need to start an entirely new ad.
Some ads do not get the opportunity to review them again. The ads that are completely disqualified are the ones that are clearly unlawful or immoral, for instance, advertisements that reference hate speech or radicalism.
In the end
The trick to a successful decline of a Facebook Ad is to keep at it and enjoy the game.
While it’s frustrating that Facebook does not provide any kind of customer service You could do yourself a favor by editing your advertisement correctly and submit it to be reviewed. Cut corners can block ads, and after that you’ll be having a difficult time communicating with someone who is actually there.
