Getting Started

To get started, go to our dashboard to set up an account.

When first creating an account on the platform, you will be prompted to create your organization. This should represent your top level company. If you were a publisher
ACME Inc., and you had websites example1.com, example2.com, your organization should be called "ACME". The websites example1.com and example2.com will be added as properties afterwards.

Note that each org can only have one payout method linked. This is fine for most orgs, but if your company prefer to keep accounting separate for a subset of your properties, you can create additional orgs after your first org and add properties to those, and then add payment separately for each org.

Once the org has been created, you can start creating your properties. Each property requires to be verified (step 1) before Analytics and Agent Site can be set up.

1. Verify a Property - Required. Verify ownership through DNS configuration. Ensure 'tollbot' is whitelisted.
2. Enable Analytics - Ingest logs via CDN, CMS, cybersecurity tool, or any cloud storage bucket.
3. Configure Agent Site - After reviewing your initial data, configure Agent Site according to your business needs.

Once all 3 steps are complete, you can continue to monitor your analytics and make adjustments to your agent site to monetize your content.
