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.

Power tool brands

Tool brands respect torture-testers: runtime tests, teardowns, batteries counted to failure. The audience smells a spec-sheet rewrite instantly, and so do the brands vetting partners.

Requires: tool stress testing · tool comparisons
Prefers: project video · safety practice · recent projects
Never: is tool brand · spec sheet rewrites
Hardware retailers

Hardware retailers want project publishers whose cut lists and material lists become shopping lists. A build plan with quantities is a pre-filled cart for this client.

Requires: build plans · maker voice
Prefers: skill tutorials · project video · recent projects
Never: is tool brand · spec sheet rewrites
Home services marketplaces

Service marketplaces catch homeowners at the DIY-or-hire decision. They recruit publishers whose cost estimates and difficulty-honest tutorials frame when to call a pro.

Requires: cost estimation · skill tutorials
Prefers: safety practice · build plans
Never: is tool brand
3D printing suppliers

Printing suppliers vet for calibration-literate makers: filament comparisons, tuning guides, printed-part showcases. Depth in the niche matters; general gadget coverage doesn't convert here.

Requires: printing expertise · maker voice
Prefers: project video · recent projects · tool comparisons
Never: is tool brand · spec sheet rewrites
Workshop equipment suppliers

Workshop suppliers sell the environment, not a single tool: dust collection, benches, storage systems. They recruit publishers documenting evolving shop setups whose audiences invest for years.

Requires: workshop setups
Prefers: build plans · safety practice · tool comparisons
Never: is tool brand
