Proof Required?

Google has agreed to pay $100 million to settle a class action lawsuit over its AdWords advertising platform. The settlement resolves claims that Google charged advertisers for clicks on ads that weren't actually clicked by users in their specified geographic targeting areas. If you advertised through Google AdWords and used geographic targeting features, you may be entitled to compensation from this settlement. The lawsuit alleged that Google's billing practices violated its promises to advertisers and resulted in overpayment for advertising services.

Who Is Eligible?

You may be eligible to file a claim if you:

You purchased Google AdWords advertising services
You used geographic targeting features to limit where your ads appeared
You were charged for clicks during the relevant time period
You believe you may have been charged for clicks outside your targeted geographic areas

How Much Can You Get?

The total settlement fund is $100 million, which will be distributed among qualifying class members. The exact amount each advertiser receives will depend on factors such as how much they spent on AdWords advertising and the extent to which they may have been affected by the alleged billing issues. Individual payouts have not been specified and will likely vary based on the size of your advertising spend and documented impact.
