Advertising disclosures
Guide for advertisers
If someone else runs your advertising, you are entitled to know what you are paying, what you are getting and what you own. Here is where to read that from the source.

Read it from the platform, not from us
Google publishes a guide for businesses that work with third parties on their advertising. It explains what a third party must tell you, what questions to ask, and what to do if something looks wrong. We link to it because Google’s third-party policy requires providers who mainly serve small and medium budgets to share it with every customer — and because it is genuinely worth reading before you hire anyone, including us.

The questions worth asking anyone
- Whose name is the advertising account in, and can I take it with me?
- What is the exact amount the platform charged, separate from what you charge me to manage it?
- What is your fee, how is it calculated, and where does it appear on my invoice?
- Can I see the account directly, and get the account ID on request?
- What happens to my data and my history if I leave?
- What are you guaranteeing? (A credible answer is: no result is guaranteed.)
