The Ad Compliance Challenge
Marketing teams often manage hundreds or thousands of ad variations. Each ad needs to comply with:
- Brand guidelines — colors, fonts, messaging tone
- Legal requirements — disclaimers, substantiated claims
- Platform policies — Facebook, Google, LinkedIn rules
- Regional regulations — GDPR, FTC, local laws
Building an Automated Checker
The Workflow Architecture
An effective ad compliance workflow has three main phases:
Phase 1: Capture
Scrape ads from URLs or accept image uploads
Phase 2: Analyze
Use AI vision models to extract text, colors, and elements
Phase 3: Validate
Compare against your compliance rules
Implementation Steps
Step 1: Input Configuration
Accept ad URLs, images, or landing page links. For websites, use a Page Scraper node to capture screenshots of all ad placements.
💡 Tip: The Page Scraper can crawl entire websites and capture every ad placement automatically.
Step 2: Visual Analysis
Send screenshots to a vision-enabled AI model. Extract:
- Text content — headlines, body copy, claims
- Brand elements — logos, imagery
- Color palette — primary and accent colors used
- CTAs — button text and styling
Step 3: Define Compliance Rules
Create your compliance criteria in a structured JSON format:
{
"required_disclaimer": "Terms apply",
"prohibited_claims": ["guaranteed", "risk-free"],
"brand_colors": ["#2C3E50", "#3498DB"],
"max_text_ratio": 0.20
}Step 4: Validation Logic
Use a Prompt node to compare extracted elements against rules. Output a structured compliance report:
{
"compliant": false,
"issues": [
{ "type": "missing_disclaimer", "severity": "high" },
{ "type": "prohibited_claim", "text": "guaranteed results" }
],
"score": 65
}Handling Large Ad Sets
⚡ Parallel Processing
Use an Iterator node to process ads in parallel. A batch of 100 ads can be validated in under a minute.
