Ad guidelines for ad review and approval

Last updated: 2 weeks ago

Ads on LinkedIn are required to meet standards of editorial quality and follow our Professional Community Policies.

Guidelines for ad creative content

  • Ad content must comply with our LinkedIn Advertising Policies and LinkedIn User Agreement

  • Use standard text, spelling, and grammar. 

  • Avoid excessive capitalization (other than valid acronyms, product names, or company names), emojis, or contact information. 

  • Exclude pop-ups, pop-unders, animated gifs, or unrelated hashtags. 

  • Use an appropriate title, language, and imagery.

  • Do not use “LinkedIn'' in the ad content or imply affiliation with or endorsement by LinkedIn (the corporation, brand, or site).

  • Your ad may use the phrase “find me on LinkedIn” in accordance with our Trademark Guidelines

  • Test ads will not be approved.

In addition, ad content should:

  • Include truthful claims.

  • Provide accurate pricing, offers, and discounts matching the landing page.

  • Ad creative and landing page language should match the audience language selected in campaign audience settings.

  • Use supported languages for LinkedIn Ads campaigns.

Guidelines for ad landing pages

  • Include working links (URLs) and a functioning back button.

  • Include a consistent display and landing page URLs.

  • Provide clear billing practices that are fair, legal, and easily findable.

  • Include a privacy policy, as applicable.

Ad creatives are automatically submitted for review when a campaign is launched or when an ad creative is edited while a campaign is running.

As a best practice, we recommend creating your campaign at least 48 hours in advance, in case you need to edit your ad following review.
