As an advertiser, your account will have increased visibility on Twitter. As such, we’ve developed a set of guidelines to which your account must comply.

Being transparent and honest about your business and what you’re promoting provides a positive user experience. We’ve also found that users are more likely to engage with accounts that provide accurate and updated profile information.

This article lists specific policies for the profile attributes users see when advertisers use our Promoted Account advertising product. Advertisers using any of Twitter's Ads must adhere to these and all other Twitter advertising policies in order to advertise.

Username

Having a clear Twitter username helps users understand what your product or service is. Your Promoted Account username may not contain profanity or offensive language.
