Quick question: How long are your Facebook approvals taking lately?
I started submitting campaigns yesterday, and the first took about 9 hours before they started approving them. I submitted two today (about 8 hours ago) and it's still pending.
Is this the normal rate?
Yeah its random times, for the past 3 days my ads would only get approved at 5AM in the morning here, even if I put up ads at 7am the day before.
Really seems to depend for me. Oftentimes it's pretty quick if before 5PM pacific. For example, I launched a campaign in France yesterday. Submitted my ads between 8 and 10 PM pacific, and got first round of approvals/disapprovals around 1AM, resubmitted, went to bed and next round was in my inbox around 2:30. Then this morning I was getting approval/disapproval (mostly the latter) within 30 minutes (7am-10am Pacific).
Facebook ad reviews can take up to a couple of mins, hours, and possibly days.. aged accounts get more attention.
It's pretty fast for me nowadays. But again, it's all random.
I've had this account for about 2 years - but havent used it for advertising for over a year. So maybe it's seen as a new account or something?
Something I found out recently. Don't know if it just me or anyone else is noticing the same thing. I have had my ads approved within 15 mins for the past week by setting my campaign budget to 500/day (put them on pause while pending approval though) and then change it to 50 or whatever your testing budget is after they're all approved. The fastest record I got my campaign approved is <60secs.
It could be my timezone as well but worth a shot if you're frustrated to get your ads approved within 24 hours.
Mine are usually approved within 1-3 hours, sometimes even faster. However that's only for a few weeks now, previously it was about 8-24 hours.
Mine usually get approved within a few minutes
I guess FB is stepping up their game and hired more reviewers. Good news but I also had ads being retro-disapproved very frequently nowadays.
