Our strong partnerships with brands and agency clients.
Continuous improvements in website monitoring technology.
Collaboration with compliance departments at major search engines and affiliate networks.
Constant improvements to our monitoring algorithms.

Our Mission and Values
Customer-Centric
We base our product innovations on customer feedback. Our roadmap is exclusively customer-driven. We encourage all customers to seek assistance, make suggestions, and inform us of any challenges.
Precision Data
We are marketing scientists at our core. Providing the most precise ad monitoring data and affiliate identification requires rigor, focus, and regular revisions to our crawl methods, targeting, and affiliate de-cloaking tactics.
Automation
We understand that our customers require data that is readily available and integrates seamlessly with their workflow. We prioritize the development of automated methods for customers to access information and complete essential tasks.
Industry Expertise
When a customer reaches out to us, they know they are speaking with a trusted colleague. All of our staff are SEM and Affiliate industry experts first. Some are even former customers!
We Utilize a Variety of Techniques for Compliance Detection
We crawl using thousands of IP addresses at randomized day parts and geo-targets to look like real people in order to gather comprehensive data for compliance and competitive research.
Affiliate Decloaking
Our proprietary de-cloaking technology identifies affiliates hiding via evasion tactics, inspects links, and cross references findings against a large database of ID’s & domains.
