In today's digital age, political candidates must establish a clear and transparent online presence to build trust with their audience and comply with social media platform regulations. Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, has introduced strict guidelines to reduce misinformation, especially in the political sphere. One of these methods is requiring new political pages to include a disclaimer with a verified website, email address, and phone number before they can run ads.
If you’re a political candidate or part of a campaign team looking to run ads on Meta, follow this guide to ensure your page meets all the requirements. With Arino Bio, an intuitive, secure, and dynamic platform, you can easily create and manage your bio pages, shortened links, and QR codes. Here’s how Arino Bio can streamline the process for you.
Step 1: Purchase a Domain
To get started, you’ll need a domain name. This domain will be linked to your political page on Meta, helping to verify your legitimacy. Once purchased, follow the instructions in Arino Bio’s help file to register the domain within the platform.
Step 2: Build a Bio Page on Arino Bio
Create a simple yet informative bio page for your political campaign using Arino Bio. This page should include the following:
- The political candidate's full name.
- An "About" section that introduces the candidate and their campaign.
- Links to all the candidate’s social media profiles.
- Contact details, including an email address and phone number associated with the campaign.
For example, you can build a bio page similar to this: https://arino.bio/Political-Figure.
Step 3: Ensure the Address Matches
At the bottom of the bio page, include the campaign’s local office address or the address of the political party. It’s crucial that this address matches the one you submit to Meta during the page verification process. Inconsistent information can lead to delays or rejection.
Step 4: Set Up Your Domain Email
When you registered your domain, you would have received an email associated with it. You’ll need this email address to receive the verification code from Meta. After entering the email during the Meta verification process, Meta will send you a code that you’ll need to input to get your disclaimer approved.
Step 5: Complete Meta's Disclaimer Approval Process
Once your bio page is set up with Arino Bio and the address is verified, Meta will review your page. Ensure that all the information, including the address, matches what you provided on Meta. This will speed up the verification process, allowing you to run political ads sooner.
