Guidelines for Telegram Ads Creatives, Channel, and Bot Approvals

This guide for creatives, channels, and bots in Telegram Ads will help you create your first advertising campaign and will serve as a useful reference for those who have been working with the messenger for a long time.


When creating an ad, we recommend avoiding:


Imperative mood. Do not encourage potential customers to take active actions and remember that native ads pass moderation in Telegram Ads quickly:
“Subscribe”


“Buy!”


“Register”


Texts with exclamation marks will not pass moderation:
“Today only!”


“Gift for subscriber!!!”


“You are the best”


Misleading statements:
“Only today for channel subscribers”


Questions:
“Planning a renovation?”


“Don’t know how to get rid of weeds?”


Messages with a large number of emojis will not pass moderation. We recommend not using them for creativity at all:
🔥 Discounts are back: 2,000 rubles for 🤑


What the moderation in your channel pays attention to:


Using aggressive motivation:
“Take it now, it will be more expensive later”


Motivation based on “pains” of the target audience:
“Buy the course to pay off your debts”


Formulations that guarantee unjustified profit:
“In 1 month of my training, you will earn 500k easily and without problems”


“Multiplying income by x3”


Clickbait:
“I told you how I made 2 million rubles in a taxi”


Overdoing the selection of text. Bold, italic, CAPITAL LOCK - takes up more than 20% of the content “Channel about digital marketing:
cases, tips, analysis of new tools
