Frequently asked questions
What happens when I request an assessment?
Our team reviews the contact details you submit and follows up about the next step. You can choose an available 20-minute call, or wait for our team to contact you. Requesting an assessment does not file a claim or commit you to hiring the firm.
Will Google know I asked for an assessment?
No. Our team will not contact Google during your assessment. We are assessing your total ad spend, and the assessment is strictly private.
What does it cost?
The assessment is totally free. If you choose to hire us, we work on a fixed contingency fee. No out of pocket expense. No fees if there is no recovery.
What do I need to prepare?
Your name and email are enough to request an assessment. An approximate Google Search spend figure and the years you advertised are helpful for the conversation. If you decide to proceed, our team will tell you which account records are needed for an accurate calculation.
How long does the claim take?
The signup process, including signing the contract and collecting your data, should take less than 30 minutes. We expect the case to settle between 18 and 24 months from now, but it may take longer depending on appeals.
What if Google appeals?
Court rulings can be challenged. Our team will explain the current status and how it may affect your claim before you decide whether to proceed.
