Misleading or deceptive content

What this means

Meta flagged deceptive product information — fake reviews referenced in copy, false scarcity, hidden fees, or misleading photography.

Why this happens

Common triggers: '99% off' deals, fake countdown timers in product descriptions, photoshopped product imagery showing different scale or features.

How to fix it

  1. Remove false-urgency language from titles ('Only 2 left! Sale ends now!').
  2. Don't reference reviews or testimonials in catalog copy.
  3. Use real product photography that matches what ships.
  4. Disclose all fees upfront.
