How to Check Facebook Ads for 20% Text Overlay
So I was trying to upload an image to boost on Facebook, when it highlighted “Your ad may not run” message. How to Check Facebook Ads for 20% Text Overlay tutorial is created in order to make you understand why it is important to maintain that Text to Image Ratio and how to exactly achieve that.
Facebook wants you to advertise something which is worthy to be advertised. If you put stuff that’s entirely covered with text, people tend to lose interest mid-way. Also, if your stuff isn’t that attractive to look at, there are chances people might not even bother look and scroll on.
To curtail such things from happening there is this text overlay rule that helps in keeping your text to image usage in check. It says you can use 20% of the entire area as text and not more than that. If you go beyond that there are chances that people might end up ignoring it. While it is not a thumb rule, it is a good habit to keep your text short, exciting and readable, so the integrity of the image is maintained and the post looks chic af.
