Why was my Meta Ad disapproved?
This article will explain the possible reasons as to why your Meta ads were disapproved.
Meta Ads Policies
- Your advertisement may have been disapproved because it did not meet Meta's advertising policies.
- You can read more about Meta's Ad policies to learn more.
Why did I receive an email that my ad was disapproved?
- You may have received an email that stated your ad was disapproved by Meta.

- There are a few reasons why this may have happened. As a car dealership, there are three reasons:
- Your advertisement does not meet Meta's 20% Rule.
- Your advertisement was not listed under the Special Ad Category due to the credit listing on your ad or on your website.
- Your advertisement was a VIN specific ad, and if your page was taken down due to selling the vehicle, the ad would have been disapproved because the car is longer available.
- Meta does not list the reason your advertisement did not get approved on the email, and will only list the reason when you log into Meta Ads Manager.
- If you do receive an email about disapproval, these are the reasons why, and we will work towards fixing any issues the advertisements may have.
- Meta's Review Team for advertising can be inconsistent, but we will always make adjustments to ensure that your advertisement is posted as soon as possible.
