Why was my ad refused? - Inconsistent Content

Help to publish an ad after it has been refused for inconsistent content (all categories).

If your advert doesn't make sense, at best your potential customers will question your attention to detail, at worst it will make you look unprofessional or untrustworthy and may lose you business in the long run.

How will I know?

Common causes:

A common reason for ads to be refused is because the content has two or more details that contradict each other or otherwise don't make sense.

Here are some examples:

a. Various names used within the advert (Paul in the title but Craig in the description).

b. Different phone numbers in the title, description and phone number field in the ad. Please use only the phone number you enter in the phone number field.

c. Stating that you do and don't do a service - EG "Swedish massage" in the title but "shiastu massage only" in the description.

d. Age; saying "new car" in one sentence then "2nd hand" in another or "I am 25" in one part and "I'm 32" in another.

How can I fix it?

Try proofreading your whole ad to make sure what you write is consistent and makes sense.

Always write your own content, don't steal content from other ads/accounts.
