Trend # 8. Facebook Inconsistent Review Process
Facebook does not provide much information behind the causes for ad rejection and disapproval. That paired with a long list of vague ad guidelines and a very strict approval process, this can lead businesses missing out on a large channel. Also, continual disapproval can lead to restriction in your ad account and/or your Facebook page.
