Why does it have to be this way?
These two ad setsAn ad set is a Facebook ads grouping where settings like targeting, scheduling, optimization, and placement are determined. More are part of a leads campaignThe campaign is the foundation of your Facebook ad. This is where you'll set an advertising objective, which defines what you want your ad to achieve. More promoting my Bot Beta Test. The first ad set was approved a couple of days ago. It’s been running successfully with no issues.
The second ad set is a duplication of the first. The only change was to the location.
I didn’t touch the ad. I didn’t touch the optimizationThe Performance Goal is chosen within the ad set and determines optimization and delivery. How you optimize impacts who sees your ad. Meta will show your ad to people most likely to perform your desired action. More, placementA placement is a location where your ad is shown. Examples include Facebook's mobile Feed, Messenger, Instagram feed, Audience Network, right-hand column, and more. More, or anything else.
Why isn’t this review instantaneous?
We know that everything but the location was already approved with the first review. How could the location possibly impact whether or not it’s approved? What is actually getting reviewed the second time?
Sure, you could say there are specific laws and restrictions by location due to things like gambling and alcohol and whatnot. But if this ad had anything to do with a sensitive topic, that should have been cleared or flagged with the first review.
Spoiler: There is nothing about this ad that would be problematic based on the location.
But I’m stuck waiting in the queue, just because that’s how it’s always been.
You’d think that improving this inefficiency would put more money in Meta’s pockets. Ads start sooner, and more money is spent.
I understand why some reviews need to take a while. But some of these reviews should be immediate. There’s no reason to make anyone wait.
