A note on confidentiality

Every profile on this page is drawn from a real screening run. Because the publishers shown are independent sites, we follow standard confidentiality practice on public pages: domains are withheld and descriptions generalized. The published profiles are therefore intentionally not traceable to the sites — including through a web search — which protects them without diminishing the underlying data. Pilot and client deliverables contain the actual domains with every signal, so everything can be verified directly. Start with a free pilot →

The five advertiser ICPs for this vertical

Each ICP is written from the advertiser's vetting logic — what that client actually checks before approving a partner site — and expressed as required, preferred and disqualifying signals from this industry's catalog.

Auto parts retailers

Parts retailers convert through job-specific search: publishers whose repair walkthroughs include part numbers and tool lists turn a how-to into an order. Own-vehicle evidence is the credibility bar.

Requires: repair walkthroughs · tool parts lists · diy wrencher voice
Prefers: video jobs · model expertise · current activity
Never: is dealer or parts · stock content mill
Car buying & selling platforms

Buy/sell platforms recruit negotiation-literate publishers covering valuation, timing and paperwork — the anxious-search content that precedes using a platform. Cost data beats opinion here.

Requires: buying negotiation
Prefers: ownership costs · cost transparency · current activity
Never: is dealer or parts · stock content mill
Extended warranty providers

Warranty providers need reliability-data publishers: repair-frequency and cost-of-ownership coverage that frames the warranty math honestly. Scare-based sell content attracts regulators and refunds — they screen it out.

Requires: ownership costs · cost transparency
Prefers: model expertise · buying negotiation
Never: is dealer or parts · stock content mill
Car rental platforms

Rental platforms want logistics-heavy trip content — counter pitfalls, insurance decisions, one-way math — from writers who actually rent. Practicality converts; scenery doesn't.

Requires: rental road trips
Prefers: cost transparency · current activity
Never: is dealer or parts
Detailing product brands

Detailing brands vet process documenters: paint-correction stages, product-by-product results on real paint, honest talk about prep work. Video proof separates technique publishers from bottle-photo reviews.

Requires: detailing process · video jobs
Prefers: diy wrencher voice · current activity
Never: is dealer or parts · stock content mill
