Advertising restrictions

If you make references to QuickBooks or any other Intuit products or brand names in the advertising or promotion of your app (which includes advertising displays, marketing copy, web or print-based materials, and search engine marketing and ads) you must comply with the following advertising restrictions, consistent with our Intuit Developer Terms. We will remove ads that do not comply.


Pay-per-click and Search Engine Advertising

All sponsored ad titles must lead with your own marks or names, or with industry descriptors, and cannot lead with Intuit brands. For example, all sponsored ad titles must be structured as “XYZ for QuickBooks” instead of “QuickBooks XYZ.”

Display URLs in search engine and other advertising cannot use or incorporate an Intuit Mark in or into the front portions of the URL, or into the root domain itself.

You may not bid on Intuit Marks (like “QuickBooks” and others described in the Developer Terms) as standalone keywords in search engines. You can only bid on keywords that include Intuit Marks as part of a larger phrase or search string to directly advertise apps that interoperate with Intuit products. For example, you may bid on keyword phrases that contain both QuickBooks and at least one additional word, like “CRM,” “Sales Tax,” “Point of Sale,” “Inventory” and the like.

You are required to negative match for the specific search engine keywords below:

Additional requirements:


Screenshot restrictions

You may use a limited number of screenshots from the Intuit software for illustrative purposes (e.g., educational guides, how-to books, training, product reviews, etc.), provided you comply with the following guidelines:
