1. Reviews
Look at Google, Trustpilot and FreeIndex. Recent reviews matter more than old ones. Pay attention to how the company responds to negative feedback — that often tells you more than the positive reviews.
2. Tracking
Confirm GPS tracking is included on every booked round, not just as an optional extra. Ask whether the GPS report is shared automatically after completion.
3. Transparency
A credible provider will tell you who supervises the round, how distributors are recruited and paid, and what happens when access to a street is blocked. Vague answers to direct questions are a red flag.
4. Reporting
Expect a post-campaign report containing the GPS map, completion dates, the team assigned and any notes from the area manager. Ask to see a sample report before booking.
5. Campaign planning
The provider should help with targeting — not just take your order. If they can suggest postcode mixes based on your business type and previous outcomes, that's a good sign.
6. Customer service
Test responsiveness before booking. Send a question, see how quickly and clearly it's answered. The same person or team should remain reachable during the campaign window.
7. Delivery verification
The strongest verification combines GPS tracking with the option to join a real round. JogPost offers both — see ride along experiences. If a provider will not let you observe a round, ask why.
