Classify advertisers

Record each advertiser's relationship to your brand, such as competitor, authorized retailer or affiliate, and review its ad history.

Updated

Advertisers lists the other domains observed in ads across your monitored searches. You can label each one so your team reads results the same way.

Relationship labels

  • Competitor
  • Authorized retailer
  • Affiliate
  • Reseller
  • Marketplace
  • Publisher / comparison site
  • Coupon / deals site
  • Other, or Unclassified until you decide
  1. Open Advertisers in the sidebar.
  2. Find the domain and choose a value in its Relationship menu. The label saves right away.
  3. Select History to review that advertiser's ads, with the search, time, location and device of each observation.

Labels are your team's own classification. Appearing in a search does not by itself indicate a problem, and a label does not change the observed data.
