Ad check

What you check before you send, in one list.

Not a tool that scans your post for you — a checklist you run through yourself, with what goes wrong most often. No account, no install.

At Ploffo, this check runs automatically before an approval round leaves. Here is the same list, apart from the product.

Ad check

The text

  • Does the text fit the channel’s limit, and do you know roughly where “more” falls?

    Check it with the Character Counter.

  • Hashtags within the maximum?

    Instagram allows a maximum of 5. YouTube allows up to 60, but shows only 3 above the title — Ploffo automatically picks the best 3 there. For the other channels: check with the platform itself, it varies and changes without notice.

  • Spelling and accents checked, in every language version separately?

The image

  • Does the whole message happen to sit inside the image, like a designed post or a quote card?

    No spellchecker reads inside an image — read the image itself again.

  • Do the proportions and resolution fit that placement?

    See the Image sizes guide.

  • Alt text provided, for anyone using a screen reader?

  • Captions on video, for anyone watching without sound?

Before you send

  • Does the link still work, if there is one?

  • For a series: is the order right?

  • For several languages: is every variant approved separately, not just once for all of them?

What this list is not

  • Not legal advice on advertising or sponsorship — those rules differ by country and by platform.
  • Not an automatic scan. For that: at Ploffo, this check runs per post, before it goes to approval.

Questions we get a lot

Does this cost anything?

No. No account, no email address.

Does this work without using Ploffo?

Yes. It is a checklist, not a feature tied to an account.

Why no hashtag limit per channel?

Only Instagram’s and YouTube’s are confirmed. The others contradict each other from blog to blog, so we do not show them as a number.
