IntellX Seal
Why this exists

Clients can't tell who has forensic access and who's just saying they do.

A retainer signed on a sales deck is not due diligence. The IntellX Seal gives clients a credible, independently verified standard to check before they sign and gives your agency proof that does not require a pitch.

The trust gap is real and widening

After years of rising ad costs and opaque reporting, advertisers are increasingly skeptical of agency-provided performance data. Without a third-party verification standard, every agency faces the same credibility question: how do we know your numbers are real?

Credibility is now the differentiatorAdvertisers can't tell verified agencies from unverified ones — so they default to skepticism.

Self-reported credentials don't hold up

Meta Business Manager access, spending claims, and client count figures are easily self-reported. There is currently no independent standard that verifies whether an agency actually has active, continuous data access to the client accounts they manage.

No verification standard existsSpending claims and access levels are self-reported with zero independent confirmation.

The IntellX Seal closes the gap

Verification requires active forensic monitoring of client accounts through the Ad IntellX platform not just payment. Every certified agency has independently verified access, verified spend thresholds, and an active data workflow. Clients can check this on your public certification page before signing anything.

Active monitoring requiredCertification demands a live forensic data workflow — not just a paid subscription.

Better leads come in when trust is established

Advertisers who have already received a forensic audit report are routed to certified agencies through our Audit-Qualified Lead system. These are advertisers actively looking for agency help and already pre-qualified with spending data that matches agency criteria.

The IntellX Seal

Compliance infrastructure for agencies that compete on data.

The IntellX Seal is not a badge agencies buy. It is an independently verified credential that requires active, continuous proof of account stewardship. Certification suspends if the underlying verification activity stops.

Independently verified not self-reported

Verification is confirmed by Ad IntellX through direct platform data, not agency-submitted claims. Every credential is checked before certification is granted.

Continuously monitored, not one-time granted

Certification requires ongoing activity. Agencies approaching inactivity thresholds receive advance warnings before any status change occurs.

Client-verifiable on a public certification page

Every certified agency has a dedicated public certification page. Clients can verify independently before signing no need to ask the agency to confirm their own credential.

Verification paths

Three paths to certification. All verified. None self-reported.

Each path establishes proof of active account stewardship from a different angle. Higher tiers require more paths to be verified, creating a stronger composite signal.

1

Meta Business Partner Directory

Confirmation that the agency appears in Meta's Business Partner directory and holds active Business Partner status. This establishes that Meta has independently recognized the agency's platform expertise and client volume.

Checked via Meta Partner API
2

Meta Blueprint / Credly Certification

Verification of team-level credential completion through Meta Blueprint and the Credly digital badge registry. This confirms that agency personnel hold current, accredited Meta advertising certifications not just claimed expertise.

Confirmed via Credly badge API
3

API-Verified Spend ($50K+/month)

Direct verification through Meta's Ads API that the agency's managed client accounts have cleared the $50,000 minimum monthly spend threshold in aggregate. This confirms that the agency is actively managing real, active-scale ad budgets not theoretical capacity.

Threshold: $50K/month managed spend
Certification tiers

Three tiers. More verification, more delivered.

Tiers are determined by the number of verification paths completed and the strength of each signal. You cannot purchase a higher tier you earn it.

Public certification page

Every certified agency gets a public verification page. Clients can check it before they sign anything.

Certification is only meaningful if anyone can verify it independently. Your public certification page shows every credential, its verification status, and when it was last confirmed without requiring the client to ask you first.

Shareable URL embed it in your proposal

Link directly from pitch decks, emails, and your website so clients can verify without asking.

Real-time status always current

The page reflects the current certification state. If a verification lapses, it updates immediately.

Third-party hosted not on your domain

Hosted on Ad IntellX infrastructure so clients can trust it as an independent source, not agency marketing.

What the Trust Score is

One number. Four components. All independently sourced.

The Trust Score is an Ad IntellX platform score that summarizes the strength, recency, and completeness of an agency's verification profile. It is not a financial score, government rating, or endorsement of business quality.

It reflects what can be independently verified: whether the agency's credentials are current, how many verification paths they have completed, how consistently they have maintained stewardship activity, and how long their verification record has been continuous.

"The Trust Score is an Ad IntellX platform score that summarizes the strength, recency, and completeness of an agency's verification profile. A higher score reflects more verification paths completed, more recent credentials, and longer continuous verification history."

Agency Index

Verified agencies ranked by strength, not by what they paid.

Advertisers and procurement teams looking for verified agencies can search the Agency Index by geography, specialty, and tier. Position in the index reflects verified standing, not who paid more.

How lead routing works

Advertiser identity is released only after your agency reviews the abstract and confirms interest.

When an advertiser completes a forensic audit and indicates they are looking for agency help, their account data is summarized into an Anonymized Lead Abstract. Verified agencies receive the abstract first without the advertiser's identity so there is no wasted contact with unqualified leads.

Advertiser identity is released through our Double-Blind Privacy Escrow only after the agency confirms the lead is a match for their service profile. This protects advertisers from cold outreach and ensures agencies only receive leads that fit their criteria.

1

Review the abstract

See the audit data platform, spend range, issues, and risk level before any identity is revealed.

2

Confirm a match

If the advertiser's profile fits your agency's service criteria, confirm interest to proceed.

3

Identity released via escrow

Advertiser contact information is released through the Double-Blind Privacy Escrow after mutual confirmation.

Double-Blind Privacy Escrow

Advertiser identity is never released without consent from both sides.

The Privacy Escrow is the mechanism that connects advertisers and agencies without exposing either party's identity prematurely. It is not a lead purchase it is a structured match process that requires confirmation from both the advertiser and the agency before contact information is exchanged.

Advertiser completes audit

Advertiser receives a forensic audit and opts into the agency-matching program.

Anonymized abstract shared

Agency reviews audit data no identity. Agency confirms interest. Advertiser confirms the match.

Mutual match identity released

Both parties confirmed. Contact information is released. The introduction is warm, not cold.

Proof-of-Stewardship Ledger

Don't just tell clients you are watching their ad spend. Show them a monthly record of it.

The Proof-of-Stewardship Ledger is a monthly, structured record of the agency's verification activity across client accounts. Delivered directly to clients, it replaces "trust us" with a documented, independently generated summary of what was monitored and when.

The ledger turns your verification activity into a client-facing record. Clients who receive it every month are clients who understand the value of what they are paying for.

Ledger generation is automatic for all verified accounts under active monitoring. No manual reporting required. The ledger is branded to your agency and includes the current IntellX Seal status for each account period.

Client Import Path

Bring existing clients into monitoring in minutes.

The Client Import Path is a guided four-step process for verified agencies to connect existing client ad accounts to the Ad IntellX monitoring infrastructure without disrupting active campaigns.

1

Authorized access grant

Agency grants read-only API access to each client ad account through Meta Business Manager. No write access is required or requested.

2

Account baseline capture

Ad IntellX captures a verified baseline snapshot of account structure, spend history, and active campaign configuration for each connected account.

3

Continuous monitoring activated

Active forensic monitoring begins. The system tracks optimization activity, suppression signals, tracking health, and spend anomalies on a rolling basis.

4

Ledger generation begins

Monthly Stewardship Ledgers are generated automatically for each connected account and made available to agency and client.

The Client Import Path requires an active Verified+ or Elite tier subscription. No campaign changes are made. Ad IntellX operates as a read-only forensic monitoring layer alongside existing agency workflows.

Frequently asked questions

Everything agencies ask before getting verified.

The IntellX Seal is an independently verified credential that confirms your agency actively monitors client ad accounts through the Ad IntellX forensic platform. It is not a directory listing or a badge you can purchase outright it requires completing at least one of three verification paths and maintaining active account stewardship.
The three paths are: (1) Meta Business Partner Directory confirmation that your agency appears in Meta's official Business Partner program; (2) Meta Blueprint and Credly Certification verification that agency team members hold current, accredited Meta advertising credentials through the Credly digital badge registry; and (3) API-Verified Spend direct confirmation through Meta's Ads API that managed client accounts have cleared the $50,000/month aggregate spend threshold.
When an advertiser completes a forensic audit through Ad IntellX and indicates interest in finding an agency, their audit data is summarized into an Anonymized Lead Abstract and routed to verified agencies whose service profiles match the advertiser's criteria. You review the abstract including spend range, platform, and primary issues before any identity is released. Advertiser identity is only released after both parties confirm interest through the Double-Blind Privacy Escrow.
The process involves three stages: completing the onboarding form and selecting your tier, completing the credential verification step (which requires access to Meta Business Manager and your Credly profile), and completing the onboarding review with the Ad IntellX team. Verification typically completes within 3–5 business days after the onboarding review. Certification is not granted until all required verification paths for your tier have been independently confirmed.
Certification status is tied to an active subscription. If your subscription lapses, your certification is suspended immediately and your public certification page will reflect that status. Your Agency Index listing will be updated. You will receive advance notice before any billing lapse so you can address it before certification is affected. Suspended certifications can be reinstated by renewing the subscription no new onboarding review is required unless more than 90 days have elapsed.
