E-commerce & DTC Content Compliance Guide
Optimize your product ads for maximum approval. Avoid misleading claims, counterfeit triggers, and transparent pricing violations.
Critical Compliance Risks
Misleading Product Claims
Promising unrealistic quality or 'miracle' results from a physical product is the number one cause of DTC ad rejections.
Copyright & Trademark Infringement
Using celebrity likeness, music without a license, or brand logos in the background triggers automated visual IP bots.
Deceptive Pricing (Dark Patterns)
Hiding fees until the final checkout or using 'fake timers' for scarcity can lead to legal action under FTC and EU consumer laws.
Low-Quality User Experience
If the landing page load time is high or contains broken links, platforms will penalize the ad's reach or reject it entirely.
Platform Specific Restrictions
Meta Guidelines
"Feedback scores matter. High return rates or bad shipping reviews will kill your ad account's authority."
TikTok Guidelines
"Must feel 'Native'. High-production TV style ads often get lower organic push compared to safe, UGC-style content."
Google Guidelines
"Merchant Center health is everything. Sync your store data perfectly to avoid automated product suspensions."
