Does your customer want to post an image with lots of text? Some precautions will be necessary to avoid having a disapproved ad or undermined campaign. Avoid reduction in reach and views.

- High : The ad cannot be served.
Some tricks and recommendations for not being disapproved by Facebook:
- Create posts in quadrants of 5 rows and 5 columns. Do not use more than 5 of them with text;
- Fool the robot. Use slightly contrasting colours in a logo or in transparency, for example, in case of an “inevitable” large mass of text;
- If you need to use arabesques and the like – some more organic features can be interpreted as cursive letters, for example;
- 20% text is not a certainty of approval. If you have, mathematically, 20% of text and it is not approved, check that it is not spread too much throughout the art. Try to gather more textual content. Perhaps the font size is not the problem, but the robot’s interpretation of the area occupied by text;
- In the case of carousel posts, if you have four images, but only one exceeds 20%, keep in mind that the others will also be affected;
- Assess whether all the text really needs to be in the image and not in the description, which will accompany the image. As with any advertising, the power of synthesis is fundamental.
