Need help with Facebook ads?

Create a new ad campaign and your old campaign will be activated
I tried that method but didn't get any results
Refresh the advertising campaign or check the quality of the campaign, it may have violated Facebook policies
No, I'm creating campaigns with nature themed images
This is quite common, especially with advertising platforms like Facebook. If your ads haven't started running after 5-6 hours, it's not necessarily a problem, but you should check the following in this order:

1. Check the ad status

2. Check your account and payment method

3. Check your budget and schedule
That's a pretty good contribution. I'll try the method and let you know the results ;)
 
I created an advertising campaign, but after about 5-6 hours, the ads still aren't working. What should I do?
You should delete that ad and create a new one with different content and a lower budget.
 
Check the status of the campaign (processing / in review / active, etc.)Check if there is any notification about payment, or any notifications from Meta in general?In short, you must describe exactly what problem you are encountering, or take a screenshot and upload it so that everyone can help identify it for you.
 
This has been happening a lot lately. It usually comes from new accounts. I also encountered this problem and tried many things, but the account still wouldn't start spending. I think you should temporarily stop using this account and switch to another one.
 
Review status
Most ad platforms (Meta, Google, TikTok, etc.) review ads before showing them. Approval can take up to 24 hours. Check if it says “In Review”, “Pending”, or “Approved.”
Check start date & budget
  • Make sure the campaign start time has already passed
  • Confirm your daily/lifetime budget isn’t too low to deliver impressions
 
Create a new ad with new content
If that still doesn't work, change pages
Still failing? >> Change accounts
Each time only needs about 3 hours; if it takes 5-6 hours, your ad is unlikely to be effective
 
If it's still pending approval, I think it's okay; sometimes Facebook takes a long time to approve things.
Besides that, you could try setting up a new campaign.
 
Lately, this has been occurring often. New accounts are typically the source of it. I had the same issue and tried a lot of different solutions, but the account would not begin to spend. I believe you should move to an other account and temporarily cease using current one.
 
Hey man, yeah this happens a lot, so don’t panic yet. 5–6 hours is still pretty normal, especially on new ad accounts or fresh creatives. A few things I usually check:
  • Make sure the ad is actually Active, not stuck in review
  • Check billing/payment method (failed card = no delivery)
  • If it’s a new account, start with higher bids or broad targeting
  • Avoid editing too much in the first few hours, it can reset delivery
FB sometimes needs time to “warm up” the ad.
Did you launch this on a new BM or an aged one?
 
Check whether the advertisement is under review and whether the audience size is too small.
 
I created an advertising campaign, but after about 5-6 hours, the ads still aren't working. What should I do?
You don't need to do anything, just wait. The maximum ad review time is up to 1 day.
 
The payment method may not have been verified. Please double-check your payment method or check your page.
 
The long wait for approval is not necessarily a fault, because Facebook is sometimes very slow in approving. You can try creating another campaign to see if anything changes. However, recently the situation of accounts not spending money has appeared quite a lot, especially with new accounts. If you've tried many ways and it still doesn't work, you should suspend that account and use another account to avoid wasting time.

Start with automatic bidding and a modest initial budget to give the system time to optimize, look for delivery error icons in the Ads Manager
 
Sometimes the ad just needs more time to start delivering if it's not payment issues.
 
It's quite normal for ads not to be delivered within the first 5 to 6 hours, especially with new accounts or campaigns. Check your ad status, schedule, bid, and audience size before making any changes. Be sure to double-check your ad status, schedule, bid, and audience size before making any changes.
 
Occasionally, ad approval takes a long time, so you should wait a little longer. If it still doesn't work, you should create a new test campaign.
