2. Have a Company Portfolio
Creating a company portfolio that includes your advertising spend proof is crucial. This document will help convince Search Feed providers that you are a legitimate media buyer and increase your chances of gaining access to their search feeds.
3. Ask for an Introduction

5. Meet the Teams Face-to-Face
Going the extra mile to meet the feed provider teams at their headquarters can make a big difference. The speaker shared a story about someone who set up a fake business trip just to meet with them and got access on the same day. Personal interactions can help build trust and increase your chances of success.
6. Partner with Experienced Companies
If you are a beginner and cannot do any of the above, consider working with companies that already do search arbitrage. You can either become an employee or work with them on a partnership basis. As an employee, you gain experience and proof of your track record, which can help you apply for access to search feed providers in the future. Working on a partnership basis allows you to use their feed and split the profits. Once you have a proven track record, you can apply for access yourself.
