1. Navigate to your Guardian dashboard. Select "Ad Compliance" and then click on "Ad Analyzer." This will take you to the "Ad Analyzer" dashboard.
2. On this dashboard, you'll be able to see all the previous ads that you've run and review the analysis.
Select "New Ad Analysis."
3. Choose between "Graphic Ad" and "Text Based Ad" and select "Next."
Use "Graphic Ad" for your image based ads and "Text Based Ads" is great for newspaper, fine print, or even scripts for radio ads. For this article, we are using "Graphic Ads" but the same procedure applies for text-based ads.
4. Fill in the "Ad Name" field and select the state where the ad will run. You can also specify the location if you would like. Then click "Next."
5. Upload your ad's graphic or text.
6. Note that you can "Add additional text disclosures." If you have additional text that will be included with the ad that is not included in the graphic, you can copy and paste the text into this field. When you're ready for the ad to be analyzed, select "Next."
7. Select "Close." Your ad is now up in the cloud and being analyzed.
8. Once the analysis is complete, your analysis is ready for your review. If Guardian detected issues with your advertisement, you can select "View Details" for a full breakdown.
9. If you'd like more information about an issue, select "Legal Breakdown" to view a summary of the issue and a citation of the correlating law.
10. Under the Legal Breakdown, you will find a summary of the issue and the law, a link to the specific legal citation, recommendations and the relevant ad text.
