ASSESSMENT OF ADVERTISEMENTS
For the reliability and user experience of the Lobox platform, advertisements need to be reviewed according to predefined policies. This review process involves a detailed evaluation of the content, visuals, and targeting information of the ads. Additionally, the landing pages and other linked destinations of the ads are also carefully examined. This comprehensive review process is important to ensure compliance with Lobox's community standards and advertising policies.
The review process for ads is necessary to maintain the integrity of the Lobox platform and ensure users have a safe experience. This process involves a detailed examination to ensure the content and presentations of ads comply with established policies. Ad reviews are typically completed within 72 hours, and approved ads are then published on the platform. This way, Lobox users are exposed to ads in a secure environment, preserving the platform's reliability.
ADVERTISING REJECTION
In order to learn why your ad was rejected, please contact us. We can provide you with detailed information about why your ad was rejected.

We're happy to help.
ASSESSMENT RESULT
If a violation is detected at any stage of the assessment process, the advertisement will be rejected, and the page or assets where the advertisement was placed may be restricted. While low-quality advertisements may not necessarily violate our principles, they can adversely affect performance. You can find more information on how quality can affect your advertisement on our business help pages.
If a Business Account or assets are restricted, that page or asset cannot be used to advertise on our platform. While a user account may have restrictions on advertising on a page, other members of that account can continue to advertise.
REASSESSMENT

This process can impact the presence of advertisers on the platform and affect the status of business accounts. The rigorous application of our principles is crucial to safeguarding the user experience and ensuring the security of the platform.
It is essential for advertisers to create content that aligns with our principles to avoid the acceptance of low-quality advertisements that could affect the success of their ads. Quality content can enhance ad performance and facilitate more effective communication with the target audience.
