Enhancing Ad Control: Meta Boosts Brand Safety Measures
- 8/2/2023

Meta's commitment to enhancing its brand safety for ad placements is becoming increasingly evident. The social media giant has further refined its existing offerings to meet the dynamic needs of its vast pool of advertisers. A major highlight of these changes is the expansion of brand suitability verification for the Instagram feed. The AI-backed Zefr now provides this feature, adding to its existing Meta ad verification services.
In its recent statement, Meta said: "Zefr's third-party brand suitability verification solution for Instagram Feed is now available. This artificial intelligence-based solution provides marketers with greater transparency into their Meta campaigns by measuring the safety and GARM brand suitability for posting to Instagram and Facebook Feed." This is positive news for Meta's advertising partners as it extends ad control to a wider range of platforms.
Meta began its journey of feed verification on its Facebook platform in March. The inclusion of Instagram's feed is a significant step up in this journey. The industry anticipates that Threads, another platform from Meta, might also join this service in the future. However, Meta clarifies that Threads monetization won't commence until the application gains usage by 'hundreds of millions of users.
Further, the brand safety and suitability verification services will soon be available in four more languages, namely, Arabic, Chinese, French, and Portuguese. Previously, these services were accessible only in English and Spanish. This enhancement will enable brands to manage their ad placements more effectively. Moreover, Meta has started experiments on a new inventory filter for Reels, thereby widening the scope for ad partners to safeguard their brand image while placing content.
As Reels is the fastest developing content category for Meta, advertisers are keen to leverage the short-video feature for wider brand exposure. With these new improvements available, Meta ad partners can rest assured of greater control over their brand's portrayal. This becomes critical as we approach the holiday season, the significant time of the year for ad campaigns. By reinforcing these measures, Meta aims to bolster its ad revenue for the closing of 2023.
