Short answer: A mortgage Facebook lead form should be reviewed as a complete handoff: the campaign context, category selection, form language, privacy and consent review, destination record, source values, first-action owner, and exception path. A form submission by itself does not tell a team whether the record is ready for its next step.
This page has one job: the lead-form and handoff layer. For the broader campaign review, use the Facebook Ads for Mortgage Brokers guide. Keeping those subjects separate makes it easier to decide whether a problem started in the creative, form, or record workflow.
Scope note: This is an operational review framework, not legal, fair-lending, privacy, licensing, advertising, or platform-policy advice. The responsible organization should review current platform requirements and its own approval process before publishing or changing a campaign.
Review the lead form before it goes live
| Review point | What to retain | Question to resolve |
|---|---|---|
| Campaign context | Campaign name, intended purpose, approved creative version, and destination. | Can a reviewer see why this record arrived without guessing from a generic source label? |
| Platform setup | Current Special Ad Category decision and the policy reference date used for the review. | What current platform controls apply before the lead form can run? |
| Form context | Exact questions, any consent language, privacy notice destination, and version approved by the organization. | Does the submitted record retain enough context for the responsible person to understand it? |
| Record handoff | Destination record, source values, first-action owner, and a plain-language next-action definition. | Who can see and act on the record when it arrives? |
| Exceptions | Duplicate-record, incomplete-record, and unassigned-record handling steps. | What happens when the normal handoff cannot proceed? |
Start with Meta's current guidance
Meta describes lead ads as a way to collect information from people through forms or messaging. Its campaign setup guidance says advertisers must select the Special Ad Category that best describes ads related to housing, employment, financial products and services, or other listed areas when applicable. Use the current platform documentation for the platform setup, then apply the organization's own review requirements.

Test the record, not only the form
Before launch, submit a non-sensitive test record. Review the landing location, source and campaign context, owner, next action, and activity history. Then run the duplicate and incomplete-record paths. A useful test produces a trail a manager can inspect without reconstructing the campaign from memory.
- Capture the approved creative and form version.
- Submit a test record using an approved non-sensitive value.
- Confirm the received record and its source context.
- Confirm the person or role responsible for the first action.
- Confirm how a duplicate or missing field is surfaced for review.
- Record the result and any approved correction before activating the campaign.

Keep claim review separate from lead handling
The message in a mortgage advertisement needs its own review. The FTC says advertising claims should be truthful, not deceptive or unfair, and supported by evidence. A workflow tool does not decide whether an offer, image, headline, testimonial, disclosure, or net impression is appropriate for a particular campaign.
