Troubleshoot 'Eligible (Limited)' Status

Ads are running but reach is restricted.

Impact Assessment

Lower impressions than possible.

Why This Happened

Age/Gender targeting restrictions (Housing/Credit/Employment), Region restrictions, or Device bid adjustments.

Prevention

Be aware of protected categories (HCE) policies.

How to Fix This Issue

1

**Check Policy Manager**: See if you fall under HCE (Housing/Credit/Employment) categories.

2

**Review Bid Adjustments**: Ensure you haven't accidentally set -100% bid on Mobile or Tablet.

3

**Check Location Options**: ensure you aren't excluding people 'interested in' your location if that's desired.
