You do not need to be a current Google advertiser. Past spend counts. Businesses often hold several ad accounts — each one may matter.
If that’s you, you can start your claim in a few steps.
A few details about your business and your Google Ads spend. You only ever provide information.
We work from your actual spend history — your claim is built from your numbers, not an average.
Google’s terms require claims to be brought individually. We prepare and file yours for you — alongside others.
Antitrust law entitles a successful claimant to three times their proven damages, plus fees and costs.
Recovery is not guaranteed, and amounts depend on your spend and the outcome of your claim.

Claims are currently being built from the 2024–2025 court rulings. Starting sooner helps ensure yours is prepared and filed promptly.
No. Your spend history lives in your Google Ads account, and we work from that — an approximate figure is enough to begin.
No. Google’s advertising terms require claims to be brought individually, so yours is filed on its own behalf — not as part of a class you join.
Because Google’s own terms require it. Advertisers agreed to resolve disputes through individual arbitration rather than in a class action, and we pursue your claim within that framework.
You can still claim. What matters is that your business paid for the ads — whether you ran them yourself or an agency ran them on your behalf.
In almost all cases, no. Our team manages the process for you. If anything ever requires your input, we’ll tell you well in advance.
To begin, just your approximate spend and your Google Ads account ID. If we need anything further to build the claim, we’ll request it directly.
Signing up takes about two minutes. The legal process is longer and varies by claim — we handle it and keep you updated throughout.
The rulings are subject to appeal, and Google disputes the findings. Claims are prepared on the current record; we account for the appeals process as your claim proceeds.
None. There is no upfront cost and no obligation. We’re paid only from what we recover for you — if you don’t recover, you owe nothing.
A quick recovery review. No upfront payment. Legal work handled for you.
