Questions from advertisers in restricted verticals
Which verticals see the most Meta enforcement?
Drugs and Pharmaceuticals, Meta's restricted industry #11, has the widest Policy-Enforcement Gap of any restricted category. CBD accounts experience suspension rates approximately 3.7x the platform average, primarily driven by health-and-beauty category enforcement behavior (ComplyAi Intelligence Graph, Q2 2026, n=5,000+ accounts observed).
Why do my Meta ads keep getting rejected in CBD?
The dominant driver of CBD suspensions is health-and-beauty category enforcement behavior: health-related claims in ad copy or landing pages that Meta flags aggressively even when the underlying product is otherwise compliant (ComplyAi Intelligence Graph, Q2 2026, n=5,000+ accounts observed).
Why are my financial services Meta ads getting restricted?
The most frequent driver of financial-services restrictions is undeclared Special Ad Category. If Meta's automated review detects an undeclared ad promoting credit, housing, or employment, it rejects and may restrict the account (ComplyAi Intelligence Graph, Q2 2026, n=5,000+ accounts observed).
