Boosted Postবুস্টেড পোস্ট
A boosted post is a Facebook or Instagram post that is paid to reach more people, making it the simplest Meta ad. It offers limited targeting, one creative and no frequency control. When the content is political, a boosted post still requires ad authorization and a “Paid for by” disclaimer.
What is Boosted Post?
In practice
Boosting is where almost every Bangladeshi candidate starts, because it is one tap from a page post. It is fast and blunt: limited targeting, one creative, no message testing, no frequency control. It works to amplify a moment that is already resonating — a rally clip, a local win — but it does not carry a message through a constituency the way an Ads Manager campaign does. Crucially, boosting political content without completing Meta’s authorization and disclaimer is a policy violation that gets ads rejected and pages restricted. Public Pulse boosts only from authorized, disclaimed accounts, and only when a boost is genuinely the right tool.

Ad Authorization
Ad authorization is Meta’s identity and location verification that an advertiser must complete before running ads about elections, politics or social issues. The advertiser confirms a verified identity and an in-country location and registers who is paying. Without it political ads are rejected, and it can take days to complete.

“Paid for by” Disclaimer
The “Paid for by” disclaimer is the mandatory label on every political ad naming who paid for it. Registered once during authorization on an authorized account, it is then applied automatically to every ad the campaign runs, and it feeds the public Ad Library where anyone can see what a candidate is running.

Special Ad Category
Special Ad Category is Meta’s restricted classification for political, electoral and social-issue ads. It limits targeting, so advertisers cannot narrow by age, gender, detailed demographics or many interest traits the way commercial ads allow. Campaigns instead build reach on geography and legitimate affinity, and must be designed to perform inside these limits.
