Health & wellness vertical

Every health & wellness publisher, screened against your affiliate ICP.

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.

The addressable universe

How big is the health & wellness publisher pool, really?

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.

Why the gap matters: a supplement or sleep-tech advertiser recruiting only from marketplace applicants sees a few thousand publishers. The independent long tail — the condition-specific bloggers and dietitian sites — is where untapped, un-poached inventory lives.
Ideal publisher profile

Who a health & wellness advertiser actually wants

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.

ICP: Independent wellness content publisherfor a supplement / wellness-device affiliate program
Required — all must hold
Health / wellness relevant Blog-like structure Evergreen how-to guides Fresh content (6 months)
Preferred — boost the fit score
Credentialed author Affiliate links present Newsletter
Disqualifying — excluded on match
Sells its own supplements (own commerce) Telehealth / clinic (competitor, not publisher)

Advertisers this fits

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 apps

Why the disqualifiers earn their place

A 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.

What we read on every site

Health & wellness screening fields

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.

Condition-specific content (sleep, gut, stress) Supplement reviews & comparisons Dietitian / clinician authorship Evidence citations present Individual practitioner vs company Wellness product roundups Newsletter / email list Affiliate links present Display ads Content freshness (6 months) Own commerce (disqualifier) Unsafe medical claims (disqualifier)

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.

Why this vertical is hard

Three reasons wellness recruitment leaks value

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.

Words overlap, intent doesn'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.

Brand safety is non-negotiable

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.

The best partners are small

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.

Proven at scale

The method, measured on a real vertical

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.

Census screening vs the affiliate network directory

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.

Questions

Health & wellness discovery, answered

How do you keep YMYL and unsafe-claims sites out?
Unsafe-medical-claim and disallowed-content signals are extracted per domain and can be set as disqualifiers in your ICP. Sites that push claims your brand can't be associated with are removed structurally, with the offending signal noted on the row.
Can you tell a dietitian's site from a brand storefront?
Yes. Author-credential and own-commerce signals separate credentialed content publishers from merchants selling their own inventory. You decide which belongs in your ICP — most supplement advertisers keep the publishers and disqualify the storefronts.
Are the ~2.6M and ~120K figures real counts?
They are estimates drawn from our classification of the active web, labeled as estimates throughout. Your actual vertical size and qualified yield are measured on a reviewed sample before any full run, so the projection you receive comes from your own data.
Do you invent traffic numbers?
Never. Traffic is reported through reproducible proxies — CrUX presence and a rank group — not fabricated visitor counts. You can slice deliveries by those proxies and by per-signal confidence.
