FAQ

Advertiser Questions Answered

How quickly can my listing go live?
+

Once your agreement is signed and creative assets are submitted, most campaigns launch within 3–5 business days. Enterprise campaigns with custom integrations may take 7–10 business days. Our team handles all compliance checks, NMLS verification, and listing setup for you — you don't need a technical team.

Do you offer performance-based pricing (CPA / CPL)?
+

Yes — Enterprise partners can negotiate performance-based pricing models including Cost Per Lead (CPL) or Cost Per Funded Loan (CPA) structures. These are available after a minimum 90-day campaign that establishes baseline conversion data. Starter and Growth tiers use fixed monthly fees with guaranteed impression and lead minimums.

What are the compliance and licensing requirements?
+

All advertisers must be properly licensed in the states where they advertise and must maintain a valid NMLS number (for mortgage and lending products) or applicable state licenses. We verify licensing before any campaign goes live and conduct quarterly compliance reviews. Advertisers must comply with ECOA, FCRA, RESPA, TILA, and applicable state lending laws. Our team can advise on compliant ad copy.

Can I target specific states or credit profiles?
+

Geographic targeting by state is available on all tiers. Credit profile targeting (e.g., showing your listing only to users who indicate a 700+ credit score) is available on Growth and Enterprise tiers. Enterprise advertisers can also specify income ranges, loan purpose, property type, and other qualifying criteria for lead routing.

What data and reporting do I receive?
+

Starter advertisers receive monthly email performance reports. Growth and Enterprise advertisers get access to a real-time analytics dashboard showing impressions, clicks, CTR, leads generated, conversion rates, and geographic breakdown. Enterprise clients also receive quarterly business reviews with our senior team to optimize campaign performance.

Can I cancel my campaign if it's not performing?
+

Month-to-month contracts can be cancelled with 30 days written notice. Annual contracts offer a 90-day performance guarantee — if we don't deliver the minimum guaranteed leads and impressions in any 90-day period, you can exit without penalty. We stand behind our performance commitments. Most partners who join stay and scale up.
