The 90% Rejection Problem
Most advertisers face constant ad rejections:
Monday morning:
- Upload 10 ads for new campaign
- 6 get rejected within hours
- Delays launch by 2-3 days
Reasons for rejection:
- "Violation of advertising policies" (no specifics)
- Image has too much text (Meta's 20% rule)
- Landing page violates policies
- Prohibited content detected
- Misleading claims
The cost:
- 2-3 days delay per rejection
- Wasted creative production time
- Frustration and confusion
- Missed launch windows
- Some rejections = account penalties
