Hiya
So, I got a link to this article through a mailer you sent this morning ( August 8, 2018 ) but the article is from 2017. how accurate is it that these templates are effective as FB has gone through soo many changes, and having text on images I’ve noticed doesn’t always get approved any more. Is there an updated article?
Hi Shingai, you’re correct — Facebook is frequently updating their requirements. This article was current as of its date of publication, but some points may have changed since then. It’s best to confirm with Facebook directly. We update our articles regularly, but a date on this one is TBD.

Want to post a powerwash business I have a professional sign I want to use . How can I post it?
Hi Arlene,
If it’s a physical sign, you can take a good photo of it (your cell phone probably is all you need) and upload it as your Facebook business page banner, and you can use it as the image in your boosted posts and Facebook ads. That should do the trick. Hope this helps, good luck.
Cheers,
Krista
