 ## Who is Adapex a fit for?
 
-Adapex suits a publisher who already sells ads through Google and wants a team to manage the setup. You keep your own Google Ad Manager account, so you aren't starting from zero.
+A publisher who already sells ads through Google and wants a team to run the setup. If you use AdSense, Ad Exchange, or Prebid today, Adapex can take that over, and you keep your own Google Ad Manager account.
+
+If you're just starting out, [Google AdSense](/ad-networks/google-adsense) has no traffic minimum and you can set it up yourself.
+
+## What does onboarding through MCM mean?
+
+MCM is Google's way of letting a partner manage ads for another publisher. Your Ad Manager account stays yours, and Adapex works with it under that link.
 
 ## Can you try Adapex without a long contract?
 
 Yes. Adapex says no long-term contract is needed. It offers better terms on longer contracts, so ask what you'd give up by staying short.
 
-## What does onboarding through MCM mean?
+## How long will you wait for your money?
 
-MCM is Google's way of letting a partner manage ads for another publisher. Your Ad Manager account stays yours, and Adapex works with it under that link.
+About two months. On Net 60, each month's earnings arrive 60 days after the month ends. [Raptive](/ad-networks/raptive) pays on Net 45 and [Media.net](/ad-networks/media-net) on Net 30, so plan for a longer gap if you switch from a faster payer.
+
+## What should you ask Adapex before you sign?
+
+Ask for your share, the payment minimum, and whether Adapex must be your only ad partner. None of these are public. If you're offered a longer contract, get the better share or features it adds in writing.
 
 ## How can you check if a site uses Adapex?
 
-Look for Adapex in the site's ads.txt file, or paste the domain into our [ad network checker](/ad-network-checker). We list a site here only when its current ads.txt or live ad setup points to Adapex.
