Billboard Audits

July 04, 2025 10:26AM
Not sure if this is in the right forum....but is there anyone offering the Billboard Audits any more? I used to love the day-trips through rural Texas just to take a picture of an obscure billboard (they always seemed to be by railroad tracks). Anyone willing to spill the tea on these (if they are out there)?

I agree. It has been at least 10 years.

Shopping Southeast Pennsylvania, Delaware above the canal, and South Jersey since 2008

I guess the companies that put the billboards, as part of the deal, periodically send in photographs of the billboard. As far as I can tell, there isn’t any other surveliance of a billboard way out in the middle of nowhere.

Never did one. Sounds like the kind of job I would love. Drive and take pictures with no people in sight.

Yeah, it was a glorious time. The first 1099 I got was for the audits. But, sonny, it wasn’t all rainbows and sunshine!!!! You had to take 2 daylight pictures and 2 night time pictures with the lights on. So it was 4 pictures. And the small town lookey-loos would all sort of give you the fisheye when you were standing there in the road taking photos.

Ahh fun times.

Sounds like about 2 beers in the local bar prior to dusk until sunset. My dream job for sure!

I'm not much of a drinker but there is this town in Texas named Bellville and they had like 9 billboards within an hour's drive or so that I routinely did. So it was hit all of the daytime photos then hole up in Bellville at a small kitchy restaurant called The Hill. I'd spend an hour or two in there...I think I was playing Farmville. Then around 6PM, I'd make my rounds again hitting them all as the sun went down. Listening to the Astros or Sunday Night Football.
