The Damage

Day 1
Listing removed — confusion
Product listing removed immediately. Unclear which specific claims violated policy. Try to find Facebook's health claims guidelines — documentation is scattered and vague.
Day 2-3
Manual rewrite attempts
Attempt to rewrite product descriptions. Remove obvious claims like "cures" and "treats" but unsure about grey-area terms. Resubmit — rejected again for subtle violations.
Day 4
Hire copywriter or consultant
Hire someone who specializes in compliant health product copy. Pay €800 for a review of your entire product catalog. Most suggestions are overly cautious, removing selling points.
Day 5
Cautious resubmission
Submit stripped-down listing with minimal claims. Approved but conversion drops because the listing is now bland and uncompetitive.
€1,800 spent + 5 days of lost sales + weakened listing copy
Total: €1,800
Day 1 (Hour 1)
AI scans all claims
Upload rejected listing. SellSafe AI identifies every non-compliant claim, categorizes them (banned, requires evidence, permissible with modification), and suggests compliant alternatives.
