48 hours + for FB ad approval?

I have one single ad directed at my local audience, which is a tiny 8,400 people, which is also the entire number of people using Facebook in my country. I created the ad on Saturday afternoon. It's for Sunday only specials in June. Now after 1pm on Monday and it's still pending. I haven't done a lot of advertising on Facebook for a couple of years, so I don't know if this is unusual, but the other ads in the past few months have approved in a few hours.

  • It's not particularly unusual for it to take this long at some times; however, after doing some research I was able to find that depending on your "daily budget" the time it takes to become approved can fluctuate.

    High Budget = 90% success in getting ads approved in as little as an hour. High budget may be classified as hundreds of dollars.

    One trick that I saw that they use is to set your budget to a reasonable amount, such as $250, and then once your ad is approved you are suppose to lower your budget to what you actually want.

    Obviously this isn't always going to work, but if you are interested in trying it then go for it, but do not set your budget to some ridiculously high amount like $1,000 right away, otherwise you will be banned.

  • I have have them take longer then 48 hours then dis-approve the AD, i also have had it approved within a few hours.

    • If you are spending hundreds of dollars a day of facebook ads, they will often get approved in a few hours. Otherwise they could take a day or two, especially on weekends.
  • Takes longer on weekeds, plus takes longer when you are running domain ads (sending traffic to website) as opposed to page likes Ad (sending traffic to your fanpage)
  • I would suggest you increase your bid slightly. After some minutes it will get approved for sure.
