Step 1: Selecting Your Primary Market

First, choose your primary market from the dropdown menu. Available options include:

• United States

Choose the market where most of your readers are located. If you have a significant audience in multiple regions, you may want to run the checker multiple times to ensure compliance across all jurisdictions.
