Well the dictionary says false advertising is making an unsubstantiated claim for a product.

Is it illegal?

It can be.  Usually the rules for false advertising are very specific, and cover very specific claims, for a specific product or service.  It can be difficult to decide if a particular claim is misleading or not, but the FTC has special powers to enforce consumer protection.

If a business id advertising a service but the service they are advertising isn't accurate, does that count as false advertising?
