Wellness advertisers do not recruit from a directory of a few thousand "top" blogs. We start from 120M+ classified domains, pull the whole health & wellness vertical, and have an LLM read each site against your partner profile — the sleep bloggers, the supplement reviewers, the registered-dietitian sites no marketplace has ever indexed.
Marketplaces show you the fraction of publishers that signed up. The vertical is far larger — and most of it never applied to any network. The figures below are estimates from our classification of the active web, labeled as such; your exact numbers come from a calibrated run.
An ICP here is a precise signal set, not a vibe. Below is a typical profile for a supplement or wellness-device brand recruiting content publishers — required signals that must all hold, preferred signals that lift the fit score, and disqualifiers that remove whole classes of false positive.
The same vertical pull serves several advertiser types — each starts from a template ICP and is calibrated to its program.
Supplement & vitamin brands Sleep & recovery tech Superfood & nutrition DTC Wellness devices & wearables Mental-wellness appsA telehealth provider or a brand's own storefront looks "wellness-relevant" to any keyword filter — but it is a competitor or a merchant, not a publisher to recruit. Structural disqualifiers remove that class before your team ever sees it.
Beyond the shared 20-signal vocabulary, every wellness domain is read for the fields that actually decide fit in this vertical. Each is extracted from what the site publishes and shipped with a confidence score.
Need a field that isn't here — "accepts sponsored posts", "already in a wellness affiliate network", "covers a specific condition"? Custom signals are defined per engagement and calibrated the same way.
Health & wellness is unusually noisy: the same keywords describe publishers, merchants, and clinics. A census that reads intent — not just words — is what separates the partner you want from the competitor you don't.
"Best magnesium for sleep" is written by reviewers, storefronts, and telehealth brands alike. Keyword filters can't tell them apart; signal extraction reads what each site is actually built to do.
Wellness advertisers can't be adjacent to unsafe claims. Disallowed-content signals let you disqualify risky sites up front rather than discovering them after a payout.
A dietitian writing for one condition converts better than a broad lifestyle site — and never applied to a network. The long tail is the opportunity, not the leftovers.
A representative shape of a health & wellness run. Every figure below is an estimate for illustration — your real universe and yield are measured on a calibrated sample before any full run.
In a large-scale production run on our own classification platform, the same pipeline processed an entire vertical end to end. The client reviewed a sample of the output against their own judgment. These are actual engagement numbers — not the wellness estimates above.
Networks and directories index the publishers that opted in. We classify the entire active web and read it against your exact ICP — then re-run on any subset when your definition sharpens.
| Question | Marketplace / network directory | Full-web census |
|---|---|---|
| Who is in the pool? | Wellness publishers who joined the network | Every wellness-adjacent active domain, opted-in or not |
| The condition-niche blogger with no network account | Absent | Read, classified, scored — the un-poached long tail |
| The brand's own storefront posing as a blog | Present, wrongly | Zeroed on the own-commerce signal |
| Telehealth clinic in publisher clothing | Present until a human checks | Classified out as a competitor, documented |
| Why is this site a fit? | It appeared in a category | Per-signal values and a confidence score for every row |
| Your ICP changes mid-search | Start filtering again | The universe re-runs against the new signal set |
