Health and wellness can be a sensitive industry when running Meta ads.
Meta has strict rules and policies, and you'll want to be super careful with your creatives and copy.
We've worked with a lot of edge cases in this industry (i.e. hormone replacement solutions, weight loss products, and many supplement brands) and here are some helpful tips ๐
๐น Verify your business in Business Manager first. This lets Facebook see you as a legit business and leads to less rejections. If it's currently greyed out for you, DM me! I have a workaround to get it enabled so you can verify.
๐น Be more conservative in the beginning. For example, if you were advertising va**nal rejuvenation solutions, avoid the word "va**na" and use a more vague term like "feminine health" to get your message across.
๐น If you get ad rejections, make sure you fix them immediately and don't let them rack up on the ad account.
๐น Avoid using photos that are zoomed in on certain body parts.
๐น Don't use imagery that would generate a negative self-perception or exploit a person's insecurities to encourage them to purchase.
๐นAvoid using personal attributes, like using "you" too much in the copy or implying the person reading the ad has a certain condition they need to solve for. Instead of saying "are you experiencing xyz," generally rephrase the statement like "women who are experiencing xyz..."
Bottom line - certain wellness products can be a grey area, and it's often at Meta's discretion whether they approve or not. So you're always taking a bit of a risk.
But with the right approach and careful consideration with the way you're formulating your message, you CAN run these ads successfully on the platform and avoid restrictions.
