I need help to understand how Facebook advertising works because the following screenshot of a pop up window that always appears regardless of the post that I am trying to promo

Hey Howard,

Searching DuckDuckGo using the prompt in your screen printed, popup window, the FB help page shows listed at the top.

See screen print below... feel free to use the exact same search phrase.

If that doesn't work, there are other options to check out, such as Meta's (which is FB) help below that, and video help too.

Hope you find this helpful.

Thank you, appreciate it

you need to find out why they are not allowing you to create ads....
have a dig through your account and your ads manager section of the platform...

Thank you!

Here is the screenshot of the pop up window!

I am attempting to “boost” the first post that I have just published to my new Facebook page. It says I can’t do that! It says the following "Your advertising

You are not the only one...
Ijust posted one, and boom 😱

Hey Howard,

Just had to go search to discover 'why'... and WOW... discovered others have experienced the same issue... see screen print below...

The search phrase I used is as follows:
My new FB page won't let me share a post - keeps prompting that advertising is restricted


Hope you find this helpful.

Thanks, Actually it allowed, and shows that I had already published a new post FB from my website. It just won't allow me boost it.

Ahh... my bad... see screen print for new query...

Huh... just tried clicking on the Boost Post button to see... and you are correct... FB is treating boosting a post as an advertisement.

And, technically it is being as you have to pay for it.

The newness of the Facebook page prevents you from boosting your post.

Thanks, The page has been up for a while

Is your page brand new? If so, that’s probably the reason Facebook isn’t allowing you to boost your post—it’s part of their anti-spam policy.

Thanks, The new page is a week or so old but the post is new. Do you know how long it takes to get past this?

Just publish more posts until you'll see Boost button active.

This boost button IS active but when I click on it this is what I get.

In this case I suggest to talk to FB support- it might be some bug…

I received this message today via Google Site Kit. Does anyone know what this means and how I would go about finding the offending pages/posts?

Thanks

Screen sho

This is the screenshot image

I had a message like that before, I just clicked "Request review" and it got cleared up. Like me , I am sure you have no "harmful content" It happens on newer sites sometimes.

Yeah, just click Request Review and it should clear itself up. :)

All better now.
Thanks!

Thanks it’s gone now!

I need to include a screenshot to illuminate my question and make it fully understandable. Can I do that here?

apparently if you create the question then go back and edit it you can add an image ...
or as others do add a reply with the image...and say in the question 'image down below' ...

Thanks, appreciate it

I must admit, I didn't know that, Phil!

I appreciate the heads-up.

All the best for 2025.

Roy

not tried Roy, but from what others have said in the past it works....
all the best to you for 2025....

phil

Thank you, Phil. I will try it next time I ask a question, as it's a useful feature.
