Understanding Facebook Ad Campaign Status: Preparing to Active
Overview of the New Update
- Facebook introduced an update in early 2024 where ads change from "in preview" to "preparing" upon publishing, indicating they are being set up for delivery.
Duration of Preparing Phase
- The "preparing" status typically lasts between 15 to 30 minutes before changing to "active," signaling that the ad is ready for audience delivery.
Troubleshooting Extended Preparing Status
- If an ad remains in the preparing phase for over two hours, it indicates a potential issue that needs addressing.
Steps to Resolve Issues
- Reset the ad manager by clicking on the three dots and selecting "reset ad manager."
- Clear browser cache and cookies by navigating through settings: Settings > Privacy > Clear Browsing Data.
- Edit and republish your ad campaign by making minor changes (e.g., adjusting placements or audience settings).
