AdSTARS Connect
Verified marketing talent, matched by AI in seconds
Describe your goal in plain language. Our AI builds the brief, shortlists verified specialists with the reasons for each match, and escrow protects every milestone — so the only surprise is how fast it was.
Free to audit, brief and match. You fund only the milestone amount you agreed — the platform commission comes out of the specialist's release, not off your budget.
Managed-platform trust, marketplace speed — built in from the first brief
Level 1
Self-reported
Declared by the specialist and labelled as such. Never presented as checked.
Level 2
Evidence reviewed
Documents and reports submitted to AdSTARS and reviewed by a human.
Level 3
Platform-verified
Read directly from the specialist’s connected ad account, with client consent.
Every result on every profile carries its level. Verification describes a past engagement — it is not a prediction or a guarantee.
From goal to hired team
Your brief, reimagined
Three steps, no procurement theatre. You describe the outcome you want; the platform does the sourcing, the paperwork and the money handling.
1
Describe your goal
Plain language, or your voice. “We need more qualified leads from Google” is enough — the AI turns it into a structured, editable brief you stay in control of.
2
Meet your shortlist in seconds
Matching scores every verified specialist whose discipline fits and hands you up to five — each with the reasons it fits, and the honest concerns where it does not.
3
Work protected, end to end
Proposals, contract, milestones, chat and reviews in one place. Each milestone is funded into escrow before work starts and released when you approve it.
Before you spend a cent
Get an honest audit first
Point the AI at your marketing and get scores, the problems it found, and what to fix in what order. Most businesses discover their tracking is the real problem before they hire anyone.
Indicative and generated from the inputs you provide. Not professional advice, and not a guarantee of results.

Milestone escrow
Your money moves when you say so
Each milestone is funded before the work starts, held by Stripe, our regulated payment provider, and released only when you approve the deliverable. Cancel a milestone and the funds come back automatically.
AdSTARS is not a bank and never holds client funds directly. Escrow terms apply.

Cancelled milestones are refunded automatically. Escrow terms apply.
Funded before work
A specialist can see the milestone is funded before they start — which is why good ones answer briefs here.
Released on approval
You review the deliverable against the signed scope. Nothing releases on a timer behind your back.
Disputed with evidence
If you disagree, both sides submit evidence and AdSTARS decides against the milestone scope.
Verified results
Track records you can actually check
Specialists publish results as a metric, a baseline, a period and a verification level. At the top level the numbers are read from their connected ad account, reviewed by AdSTARS, and published only with the client's consent.
Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Verification reflects the evidence available at review.

How a claim becomes a verified result
Proof, before promises
AdSTARS Connect is pre-launch, so there are no customer testimonials to show you yet — and we would rather show you the process than borrow someone else's.
Evidence is submitted
The specialist connects the ad account, or uploads the reporting behind the claim, and names the metric, baseline and period.
AdSTARS reviews it
A human checks the figure against the evidence and assigns the level it actually earns — not the one that reads best.
The client consents
Nothing is published until the client agrees to it, and consent can be withdrawn — the result disappears when it is.
For specialists
Are you the one being matched?
Get verified, publish results a client can check, and receive briefs that are already funded. Verification is open now, before public launch.
Have questions?
The things everyone asks first
What does it cost to get matched?
Nothing. Briefing, matching and the AI audit are free, and as a client you fund only the milestone amount in the contract — there is no platform surcharge on top of it. The platform takes a 12% commission from the specialist as each milestone releases. Full breakdown on the pricing page.
What happens if the work is not what we agreed?
You approve each milestone before its funds release. If you and the specialist cannot agree, either side opens a dispute: both submit evidence, AdSTARS reviews against the signed milestone scope, and the funds are released, split or refunded on that decision.
How is a “verified result” different from a portfolio claim?
A portfolio claim is a screenshot. A verified result is a metric, a baseline, a period and a verification level — and at the top level it is read from the specialist’s connected ad account rather than typed in by hand. Every level is labelled on the profile so you know which one you are looking at.
Do you also just run the marketing for us?
That is AdSTARS Agency, a separate managed service. Connect is the marketplace: you hire and direct the specialist yourself, with the platform handling matching, contracts, escrow and delivery tracking.

Launch list
Get early access
Fees, escrow terms and verification policy apply. AdSTARS Connect introduces businesses to independent specialists; it does not perform the contracted marketing work.
- 1Three verification levels: self-reported (declared by the specialist and labelled as such), evidence-reviewed (documentation submitted to and reviewed by AdSTARS), and platform-verified (read from the specialist’s connected advertising account). The level shown on a result is the level that result earned.
- 2A shortlist returns up to five specialists. Fewer are returned when fewer verified specialists match the brief — the platform will show you three good matches rather than pad the list to five.
- 3Every milestone must be funded into escrow before the specialist begins it, and funds are released on client approval. Where a milestone is cancelled under the escrow terms, funds are returned to the client. Funds are held by Stripe, our regulated payment provider, not by AdSTARS.
