FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How does sponsored content work?+

Sponsored content is clearly labeled and produced collaboratively between our editorial team and your brand. We maintain our independent voice while ensuring your key messages reach our audience authentically. All sponsored content goes through the same editorial quality standards as our regular content.

What reporting do I get?+

All advertising partners receive access to a real-time dashboard showing impressions, clicks, click-through rate, and conversion events. Professional and Enterprise plans include weekly or daily automated email reports, plus quarterly performance reviews with your dedicated account manager.

Can I target specific vehicle categories?+

Absolutely. Our contextual targeting engine allows you to place ads alongside specific body types (SUV, sedan, ute), fuel types (EV, hybrid, petrol), price brackets, or even individual competitor pages. This ensures your ad reaches buyers comparing vehicles in your exact segment.

What are your content disclosure policies?+

Transparency is core to our brand. All sponsored content, paid placements, and advertiser-funded features are clearly marked with visible disclosure labels. We follow the Australian Association of National Advertisers (AANA) Code of Ethics and ACCC guidelines on advertiser disclosure.

How quickly can my campaign go live?+

Standard display campaigns can go live within 48 hours of receiving approved creative assets. Sponsored content and custom integrations typically require 1–2 weeks for production and editorial review. We recommend booking at least 2 weeks in advance for major launches.

What if I want to change my creative mid-campaign?+

No problem. Standard display ads can be swapped within 24 hours at no extra charge. We support unlimited creative refreshes on Professional and Enterprise plans. Simply upload new assets through your dashboard or send them to your account manager.
