Why won't my Facebook ads get approved?

7 replies
I've tried several times to get my Facebook ad approved and can't seem to find a reason why they're getting rejected. I've been able to get similar ads in the past approved.

Landing page: Poodles are Awesome | Facebook

Sample ad text: Click "Like" if you love Poodles.

Sample ad pictures: and

Target audience is specific to my page.

Any ideas why this ad would get rejected?

Here's the reason Facebook gave me: "The content of your ad or Sponsored Story does not adequately reflect the product or service advertised. Before resubmitting it, please visit our Help Center for additional information and examples compliant with our Advertising Guidelines."

    Not sure, but try changing the title to something like:

    Love Poodles? You'll love our page!
    or something like that as long as it doesn't "tell" people to like you.

    Maybe that will help.

    Right now, they might think you are just "like-whoring" with the current ad.

    I don't recall Facebook policy but for some advertisers the: Click "Like" ,call to action would be a no no, I don't see any big misrepresentation problem, so maybe they are just using the wrong reject code.

    Thanks for the tips. I'll change up the dialog a bit... my end goal though -is- to get my target audience to click "Like". I'll just have to try a FB landing page encouraging them to like the page.

    I ran into this problem as well a while back - upon doing my own research I found out:

    1.) Are you using all capital letters in your add - FB hates this..
    2.) sometimes for what ever reason FB dislike the image ( try changing the image )
    3.) change the wording so it matches the image of your ad

    Good Luck...

    I had the same problem with my fanpage at Facebook. When i changed the title of my Fanpage and Image, Facebook approved it.

      So sorry about the disapproval of your ads. Also, I had tried Facebook advertising myself and I couldn't figure out how to make it work. Have you been having big time success with Facebook?
