What causes this error?
The landing page URL you provided in your ad setup is incorrectly formatted. It may be missing the protocol (http/https), contain illegal characters, have extra spaces, or use a URL shortener that Meta doesn’t allow.
How to fix it
- Add the protocol: Ensure your URL starts with
https://(preferred) orhttp://. - Remove special characters: Strip any invisible whitespace, line breaks, or Unicode characters from the URL string.
- Avoid URL shorteners: Meta blocks or penalizes many URL shorteners (like bit.ly in some contexts). Use your full, direct domain URL.
- Test the URL: Paste it directly into a browser to confirm it loads correctly before submitting.
