Questions about platforms
Can one project monitor several platforms?
Yes. A project can check Google, Bing or both, and add Shopping on plans that include it. Each selected source counts as its own check.
Are the platforms affiliated with Ads Lighthouse?
No. Ads Lighthouse is an independent service and is not affiliated with Google or Microsoft. It records what appeared on public results pages.
Do all platforms support alerts?
Alerts come from Google and Bing text-ad captures. Shopping listings are reviewed in their own report and do not create alerts.
