Match the landing page to the ad promise
Most rejections on new accounts are not about the product but about a mismatch: the ad says free shipping, the page says otherwise; the ad shows a discount, the checkout does not. Before launch, open the ad preview and the landing page side by side and read them as a buyer would. Fix every claim that cannot be proven on the first screen.
Appeal once, with evidence
When an ad or account is restricted, read the cited policy, fix the asset first, and then request a review with screenshots of the corrected page, business documents, and domain verification. Repeated appeals without changes rarely help. Calm, factual explanations work better than long complaints.
Ramp budgets in small steps
A new ad account that jumps from zero to a large daily budget looks risky to automated systems. Start with one campaign and a modest budget, keep it running for several days, and raise spend by roughly twenty percent at a time. Avoid editing the same ad set many times a day, because every major edit resets learning and draws attention.
Record every rejection
Keep a simple sheet with the date, the ad ID, the policy cited, the change you made, and the result. After a month the sheet shows which claims, images, or categories trigger reviews for your products. New team members read it before writing copy, and the number of rejections drops without guessing.
Verify the domain and events early
Domain verification and correct event setup protect your measurement when browsers limit tracking. Verify the shop domain in Business settings, send purchase and add-to-cart events through both the pixel and the Conversions API with a shared event ID, and check the deduplication status in Events Manager before scaling.
Build the asset tree before spending
Create the Business Manager with the legal company name that matches your invoices, add a business email on your own domain, then attach the Page, the Instagram account, the pixel, and the ad account in that order. Each asset should have at least two admins with two-factor authentication. A clean asset tree makes later reviews and appeals much easier, because reviewers can see a consistent identity instead of a personal profile running a store.
Common mistakes to avoid
Teams usually get into trouble by moving too fast: opening several accounts at once, copying competitors' claims, sharing one login among many people, or ignoring the first warning email. Slow down, keep records, and fix the root cause before scaling again. Most platforms forgive honest mistakes that are corrected quickly; they are far less forgiving of repeated patterns.
