Responsible hosting
Great hosting starts with responsibility.
Protect your property, support local communities, and meet the requirements that apply to every advertising space you list.
Review Host Standards
Know Your Local Requirements
Advertising regulations can vary by location. Before listing a space, understand whether you need:
- Property-owner approval
- Advertising permits
- Signage permits
- Building approval
- Electrical approval
- Local government authorization
- Other regulatory permissions
Hosts are responsible for ensuring that their advertising spaces can legally be offered and used.
Provide Accurate Information
Never intentionally misrepresent details advertisers rely on when choosing a space.
- Location
- Dimensions
- Visibility
- Audience exposure

Maintain Safe Spaces
Physical advertising structures and installations should be properly maintained. Hosts should address:

Use qualified professionals when required.
Respect Your Community
Advertising is visible to the public. Consider the potential effect of advertising content, lighting, noise, structures, and installations on surrounding properties and communities.
Review Campaign Content
Hosts may establish reasonable restrictions on advertisements displayed on their properties. Make restrictions clear before advertisers book.
Keep Availability Updated
Avoid accepting overlapping bookings by regularly maintaining your AdItHere calendar and availability.
Communicate Professionally
Respond to advertisers promptly and clearly communicate:
- Requirements
- Deadlines
- Installation schedules
- Creative specifications

- Potential problems
Responsible hosting creates better campaigns and a stronger marketplace.
