Introduction to Googles online advertising

Advertising with Google allows you to reach new customers at the precise moment they’re searching for your type of products and services. You can choose to be charged for clicks, impressions, or conversions, depending on the type of campaign you run.

Once your ads are running, we provide performance data so your third-party partner can track what’s working and what’s not. Google Ads advertising products are highly accountable, helping you understand precisely the return on your advertising investment and allowing your third-party partner to make adjustments to optimise for the best possible return.

In addition to Google search, you can also run ads on Google’s network of partner sites (places where you may have seen the “Ads by Google” message)–including YouTube. On this network, you can take advantage of other ad formats, such as image ads and video ads.

Google and third-party partners

We believe that Google advertising can help your business succeed. However, you might not have the time or resources to devote to building–and regularly maintaining-a successful account. Or maybe you’d just like some help optimising from an expert.

That’s where our third-party partners come in. There are many different types of third parties out there, from the largest advertising agency and yellow page publisher to the one-person web consultant. To help you select a third-party partner, we’ve developed our Partners Program. Participating third parties that have met the requirements of one of our Partner Programs may display that program’s badge on their websites. Two badges that you’ll probably see are Google Partners and Premier Partners.

To confirm that a company is certified within our Partner Programs, click the badge on its website. If the company is certified, you’ll be taken to its profile page on Google.

How to work with a third-party partner

A third-party partner can save you and your business a lot of time and energy. For best results, we encourage you to stay informed, involved, and up-to-speed on your ad campaigns, and let your partner handle the time-consuming work.

Third-party partners will often charge a fee in addition to the cost of your advertising. Remember, their goals are to provide valuable services like managing your campaigns, provide you with reporting, answer your questions, or optimize your campaigns. We believe it’s important for you to understand the total cost of your advertising, including any fees your third-party partner charges. You can use this amount to determine your return on investment (ROI). Here are quick tips for being a savvy customer:

1. Pick one partner. You may be tempted to divide your budget among multiple third parties to see which one drives the best results. You’re welcome to do this, but we recommend that you test them one at a time. Google doesn’t display more than one ad for a business on a page of search results, so you’ll find it difficult to test multiple third parties at once.
2. Educate yourself. Understanding advertising at an advanced level can take time, but it doesn’t take much time to learn the basics of Google advertising. Review the "Advertising basics" section below. To learn more, visit the Google Ads Help Centre. Understanding these programs will help you make more informed decisions with your third-party partner.
3. Trust experience. If you’re working with a company that’s managed hundreds of Google advertising accounts, then it’s likely to have developed expertise with Google’s advertising products. If it tells you that certain industries have historically higher online-advertising costs or certain keywords or ads might not work for your business, it’s probably speaking from experience.
4. Evaluate your performance. Unless you’re focused on branding, what matters most about advertising is the return on your investment in it (i.e. the number of new customers coming in the door). So take some time each month to measure what you’re investing, and the results you’re receiving from that investment.

What to watch out for

We believe that it’s important for you to have a great experience with Google advertising. If you don’t, please let us know. Be sure to first work with your third-party partner to try to resolve any issues before contacting us. Many third parties have earned our trust by representing the best interests of their advertisers. But some third parties do not. Here are some activities to watch out for and let us know about:

• Not sharing the cost and performance of advertising campaigns. You have a right to know, at a minimum, the number of clicks, impressions, and cost of your Google ads.
• Guaranteeing ad placement, either on a specific advertising channel or in a specific position. It’s not possible to guarantee a specific ad position on Google.com search results pages. Ad position is determined by an auction and changes dynamically with every new search. Some third parties may only charge you if they achieve your desired ad placement, but those that guarantee a specific position (i.e. the top position every time a user searches for your keyword) are misrepresenting how Google’s advertising works.
• Account setup requirements. The third party agency must setup a separate Ads account for you to represent you fairly.
• Claiming to be from Google. Ask this person for their name and to email you from their @google.com (not @gmail.com) email address.
• Harassing or bullying you into signing up. Third parties cannot remove your business from the natural or organic search results on Google.com.
• Claiming advertising on Google will affect your organic or natural ranking. Advertising on Google has no impact on your organic or natural ranking in the search results; the two are completely separate.
• Deceptive pricing. The agency may not use the correct advertising budget as agreed with you. Make sure that you get an official copy of your agreement in writing.

Report a violation of third-party policy

Think a third-party partner is violating this policy? Let us know: report a violation of third-party policy. While we may not respond personally when you contact us about a third party, we will investigate your comments and, if necessary, take appropriate action.

Advertising basics

• Average Position: The average position an ad appears in when it’s triggered. An average position of 1-8 generally means that the ad is appearing on the first page of search results.
• Clicks: The number of times users clicked your ad.
• Clickthrough Rate (CTR): The number of clicks divided by the number of impressions, shown as a percentage. A good CTR can improve your average position.
• Conversion: The action that your advertising results in, such as a phone call, lead, or sale. This is usually a good metric to use to measure the success of your advertising.
• Cost: The total amount you spend with Google advertising.
• Impressions: The number of times your ad appeared.
• Keywords: The words or phrases you select for Google Ads so that when users search for those words on Google, your ad may appear next to or above the search results.

If you have a question about your Google advertising account and need help, please visit the Google Ads Help Centre.

Sold or bought a business?

Here you’ll find all the information you need on transferring or taking over an account with Yellow (Yellow Pages), White Pages or True Local (all services of Thryv Australia). For accounts with Thryv Agency or Thryv Data, please contact your account manager.

Firstly, congratulations – selling or buying a business is a terrific milestone.

There is a five step process to transfer or take over an existing Thryv Australia account. These are:

1. Contacting us on 13 23 78 for a copy of the Transfer of Ownership form. We’ll fill out the details around current products and prices and return it to you to complete.
2. Both the seller and buyer agreeing to the transfer by completing the Thryv Australis Transfer of Ownership form, including signatures of both the seller and buyer (See example here).
3. The buyer emailing the completed form to the agent handling their enquiry.
4. We’ll check that the buyer meets Thryv Australia’s requirements to take over the account;
5. Thryv Australia processing the transfer application and notifying the buyer and seller of the outcome. If a transfer application is unsuccessful, we’ll provide an explanation for the outcome.

You should allow up to 21 days from Thryv Australia receiving the Transfer of Ownership Form to process the transfer application. This allows sufficient time for the buyer to complete and return any further documentation required under our credit application process. If no further documentation is required from the buyer, we will process the application within 7 days of receipt.

Overview

At Thryv Australia, we are committed to achieving our commercial goals while conducting our business ethically in line with all laws, regulations, industry codes and standards. Our Code of Conduct and other internal policies guide our conduct to ensure that we observe the highest standards of honesty and integrity in our business activities.

Purpose

The purpose of this policy is to:

• encourage and support disclosures of suspected wrongdoing;
• ensure individuals who disclose wrongdoing can do so safely, securely and with confidence that they will be protected and supported; and
• support Thryv Australia’ Code of Conduct and values.

How the policy can be accessed?

This policy is accessible through the Thryv Australia intranet and on the Thryv Australia external website.

Who does this policy apply to?

This policy applies to current or former officers, employees, suppliers (paid or unpaid) of goods or services to Thryv Australia (such as secondees, contractors, and consultants) and associates of Thryv Australia (as defined in the Corporations Act). It also applies to relatives, dependents or spouses of any of these people (Eligible Whistleblowers).

What are Disclosable Matters?

Eligible Whistleblowers can make a disclosure under this policy if they have reasonable grounds to suspect the occurrence of misconduct, or an improper state of affairs or circumstances within Thryv Australia or a related body corporate (Disclosable Matters). Examples of Disclosable Matters are set out in Appendix A. A disclosure can still qualify for protection even if the suspicion turns outs to be incorrect.

Under this policy, Disclosable Matters excludes Personal Work-Related Grievances that do not have significant implications for Thryv Australia that do not relate to the discloser. Examples of Personal Work-Related Grievances are set out in Appendix A. These sort of grievances should be raised by in accordance with Thryv Australia’ Internal Resolutions Policy as they not within the scope of this policy.

False reports can have significant effects on the reputations of Thryv Australia personnel and could also cause considerable waste of time and effort. Accordingly, any deliberately false disclosures under this policy will be treated as a serious disciplinary matter.

For protections to be afforded to a discloser under Whistleblower Laws, a report must be made by an Eligible Whisteblowers to an Eligible Recipient about a Disclosable Matter (Protected Disclosure). Other than in relation to Protected Disclosures, this policy does not override or replace any other Thryv Australia policy or procedure, for example in relation to internal resolution, disciplinary action or employee privacy.

How do I make a disclosure?

If it is appropriate (and you are a Thryv Australia employee), you are encouraged to raise these concerns with your manager, the manager of the relevant person, or the person concerned in the first instance (who may not be an Eligible Recipient). If you are external to Thryv Australia or you would prefer not to follow this course you may disclose your concerns to STOPline, an independent third party and Eligible Recipient by visiting http://ThryvAustralia.stoplinereport.com/ and then choosing to report via phone, fax, email, post or online (see the “How it Works” section for details).

You may choose whether or not to make a whistleblowing disclosure anonymously. All disclosures made under this policy will be treated confidentially. If the whistleblowing report is investigated it may be necessary to reveal its substance (on a confidential basis) to people such as other employees, external consultants involved in the investigation process or, in appropriate circumstances, law enforcement agencies. In particular, it will often be necessary to disclose the fact of the whistleblowing report, and its substance, to the person who is the subject of the whistleblowing report. In certain circumstances a court or tribunal may order the production of information or documents regarding a whistleblowing report.

Thryv Australia places great importance on providing employees with the opportunity to use the whistleblowing process for genuine disclosures. You must act in accordance with the Thryv Australia value of honesty when using this process and you must not use the process for any purpose other than the good-faith reporting of unacceptable conduct. In return, Thryv Australia will not tolerate reprisal action against any person who has made a disclosure in good faith.

Who else can receive a disclosure?

If you cannot make a disclosure through the above methods, you can also make a report directly to any of the following recipients to receive protection under Whistleblower Laws:

• A director, company secretary, company officer, or senior manager, including the AU CRO;
• The US Chief Financial Officer;
• An auditor, or a member of the audit team, or actuary of Thryv Australia;
• ASIC or the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) or other Commonwealth bodies prescribed by regulation; or
• For tax-related disclosures, a registered tax agent or BAS agent who provides tax agent services or BAS services to Thryv Australia.

There are other ways you can make disclosures in certain limited circumstances, including to a regulator, or when making an emergency or public interest disclosure. Before you make any such disclosure you should seek independent legal advice to understand the criteria for making such a disclosure.

Who do I contact if I need more information about this policy?

Thryv Australia employees can seek confidential information on the operation of this policy and how a report will be handled, without making a report, by contacting the Disclosure Co-ordinator. However, if you require legal advice with respect to the Whistleblower Laws, then you must contact an external lawyer (not the Thryv Australia General Counsel or other member of the in-house legal team). Disclosures to legal practitioners for the purpose of legal advice or representation in relation to the operation of the Whistleblower Laws are protected disclosures under Whistleblower Laws.

Support and Protections for Whistleblowers

Thryv Australia is committed to ensuring that disclosers are not disadvantaged in any way from raising concerns about suspected Disclosable Matters in accordance with this policy. In particular, disclosers will not be disadvantaged by dismissal, demotion, harassment, discrimination, bias or other detrimental conduct.

Accordingly, Thryv Australia will protect the confidentiality of the discloser’s identity unless:

• the discloser consents to the disclosure;
• the disclosure is required by law;
• the disclosure is necessary to prevent or lessen a serious threat to a person’s health and safety (unless the disclosure is a Protected Disclosure); or
• it is necessary to protect or enforce Thryv Australia’ legal rights or interests or to defend any claims (unless the disclosure is a Protected Disclosure).

A breach of the protections provided under this policy will be treated as a serious disciplinary matter.

The Thryv Australia Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is also available for all Thryv Australia employees free of charge. Thryv Australia employees can call EAP on 1300 360 362 for confidential and professional advice and counselling services.

Additional Protections under Whistleblower Laws

Under Whistleblower Laws, Protected Disclosures are afforded additional protections including:

• compensation and remedies – the discloser can seek compensation and other remedies through the courts if they suffer loss, damage or injury as a result of a disclosure and Thryv Australia’ failure to take reasonable precautions and exercise due diligence to prevent the detrimental conduct
• civil, criminal and administrative liability protection. However, the protections do not grant immunity for any misconduct a discloser has engaged in that is revealed in their disclosure.

It is illegal for a person to identify or disclose information that is likely to lead to the identification of a discloser of a Protected Disclosure other than in certain limited situations. These exceptions are disclosures to:

• ASIC, APRA or the Australian Federal Police;
• a legal practitioner for the purposes of obtaining legal advice of representation about the whistleblower process in the Corporations Act;
• a person or body prescribed by regulation; and
• with the consent of the discloser.

What happens after a whistleblowing report is made?

Thryv Australia’ Disclosure Co-ordinator is responsible for investigating and resolving all reported complaints. The Disclosure Co-ordinator will convene a meeting with the CRO to discuss the investigation approach for the allegations raised. If the issue involves or makes allegations about the CRO that person will not be involved in the investigation process and will be replaced by the Chief Financial Officer, Thryv US. (CFO).

All investigations will be conducted in a fair and independent manner although the investigation process may vary depending on the nature of the disclosure. All investigations carried out by Thryv Australia or by an independent third party will follow the principles of procedural fairness and natural justice when conducting the investigation. This will generally involve:

• undertaking a fair, independent and discreet investigation into the substance of the report to determine whether there is evidence to support the matter raised;
• respecting individual confidentiality;
• collecting all available data and verifying the reporting information;
• in order to observe the rules of procedural fairness, interviewing any relevant person to understand their perspective;
• proceeding with due care and efficiency; and
• consulting appropriate bodies as required.

Where the Disclosure Co-ordinator deems necessary, the Disclosure Co-ordinator may appoint an external investigator to conduct the investigation, either in conjunction with the Disclosure Co-ordinator or independently.

The Disclosure Co-Ordinator shall advise the CRO, Thryv Australia and US Chief Financial Officer of the outcomes of the investigation. The CRO, Thryv Australia and US Chief Financial Officer will review the outcome and determine appropriate actions to respond to the matter.

Where possible, the discloser will be kept informed of the progress and outcomes of the investigations, subject to privacy and confidentiality considerations. If the discloser has chosen to report anonymously through STOPline, they will be given a unique code to be able to check the progress of their disclosure at any time.
