"Ads must not be fraudulent or deceptive. Your product or service must accurately match the content of your ad. Any claims in your ad must have factual support. Do not make deceptive or inaccurate claims about competitive products or services. Do not imply you or your product are affiliated with or endorsed by others without their permission. Additionally, make sure to disclose any pertinent partnerships when sharing advertising content on LinkedIn. Do not advertise prices or offers that are inaccurate - any advertised discount, offer or price must be easily discoverable from the link in your ad.Excerpt from LinkedIn's Advertising Policies
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision directly engages the FTC Act's prohibition on unfair or deceptive acts or practices, as well as FTC guidance on advertising substantiation and the FTC Endorsement Guides requiring disclosure of material connections. The requirement to disclose pertinent partnerships aligns with FTC guidance on sponsored content and native advertising disclosure. Inaccurate pricing claims also implicate state consumer protection laws in multiple US jurisdictions. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. Advertisers using influencer marketing, celebrity endorsements, or sponsored content arrangements must ensure material connections are disclosed in LinkedIn ad content. Performance claims, comparative advertising, and promotional pricing are subject to substantiation requirements that must be satisfied before ad submission. JURISDICTION FLAGS: FTC substantiation and disclosure requirements apply to US advertisers. UK advertisers face ASA and CMA requirements for advertising substantiation and pricing accuracy. EU advertisers must comply with the Unfair Commercial Practices Directive. The policy's reference to factual support for claims applies globally. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Advertisers using third-party endorsers or brand ambassadors on LinkedIn must include FTC-compliant disclosure requirements in influencer contracts. Promotional pricing campaigns must be reviewed to ensure landing pages display the advertised price or clearly explain eligibility conditions. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Pre-flight claim substantiation review should be a standard step for all LinkedIn ad campaigns making performance, comparative, or health-related claims. Pricing and promotional offer workflows should include a landing page accessibility check to confirm that advertised prices are displayed without additional navigation steps.
