How to apply for the commission
- Ask for both the direct and the agent-referral terms before choosing - they differ.

- Confirm the lead trigger definition and the cookie length in writing.
- Complete compliance review of your landing pages.
- Configure tracking in /go/.
- $50 minimum, Net 45.
The "structure varies" wording is not a hedge - it is the actual finding. Ask explicitly which model you are being offered and what the per-policy alternative would pay.
Traffic restrictions
Brand bidding restricted. State-specific advertising rules apply.
