A new advertising channel for healthcare

Google gave you Search Ads. Medical journals gave you print placements.
Now AI search is the fastest-growing health information channel.

Current Healthcare Ad Channels
Google Health Ads — PPC bidding on regulated keywords
Display banners — ignored by AI when it reads clinical content
HCP portals — limited to one professional network
None of these reach AI search users
Smalk AI Search DSP
Ads placed on the pages AI reads for answers
Native text format — AI-readable, not display
Target industry prompts across all AI engines
Your brand enters the AI answer
The Shift

Your current ads don't reach AI search

AI engines don't show banners. They don't click your paid health links. They read publisher content and recommend treatments based on what they find there.

Display Ads Are Invisible to AI

When ChatGPT reads a health article or drug review, it ignores banners and display ads entirely. Your current media spend has zero influence on what AI recommends.

Google Health Ads Don't Reach AI Users

A growing share of patients skip Google entirely and ask AI directly: "best treatment for migraines" or "side effects of metformin." Your Google Ads budget doesn't reach them.

No Ads = No Mention in the AI Answer

AI builds its health recommendations from editorial content on trusted medical publisher pages. If your brand isn't present on those pages, AI has no reason to mention your therapy.
