For Publishers

The open web is changing.
Your revenue OS should too.

AI Search engines are reshaping how content is discovered, cited, and monetized. Publishers who adapt now will lead the next decade. Smalk gives you the tools and revenue infrastructure to make that Agentic Web transition — on your terms.

"Already 25% of web traffic is coming from AI agents sent by humans, accelerating the fall of display revenues. And it's getting worse."

The shift

What's happening to your traffic

Search engines used to send readers to your site. Now, AI agents read your content, extract what they need, and generate answers — often without a click. Your content still has value. But the way that value is captured has fundamentally changed.

AI agents read your content

Models like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini crawl and cite publisher pages daily. Your content is being used — but are you being compensated for it?

Zero-click is the new default

Over 65% of searches now result in zero clicks. AI-generated answers replace the need to visit your site. Traffic patterns are shifting.

Authority still matters most

AI engines prioritize trusted, well-structured sources. Publishers who adapt their content strategy will maintain and grow their influence.

Built-in publisher guardrails

Every ad natively aligns with your editorial standards. You decide what appears on your pages, at what price, and under what conditions.

Auto or Manual Approval

Review every ad before it goes live, or let trusted brands publish automatically on your terms.

Brand Exclusions

Prevent specific brands or competitors from appearing on your pages. Full control over who advertises.

Category Filters

Exclude entire categories that don't align with your editorial standards and audience expectations.

Floor Prices

Set minimum prices per placement so you never undersell the authority your content has earned over time.

Custom AI Rules

Define contextual instructions your AI ad system must follow to maintain quality and brand consistency.

Legal & Mention Rules

Set mandatory legal mentions and compliance rules for every ad that runs across your publication.

Why now

The window is open

The publishers who move first will define how AI search revenue works. Early movers set the standards — and capture the most value.

AI traffic is growing exponentially

The share of AI agent visits to publisher sites doubles every quarter. This is not a trend — it's a structural shift in how content is consumed.

First movers set the rules

Publishers who establish AI ad inventory now will define pricing standards, quality benchmarks, and advertiser relationships for the next era.

New revenue, not replacement

AI search monetization is additive. It doesn't cannibalize your existing display or programmatic revenue — it creates an entirely new stream.

Your content, your terms

We believe publishers should control how their content is used and compensated for. Smalk gives you the tools to do exactly that, on your terms.

Early adopters

Built with publishers, not for them

Smalk is being shaped alongside the publishers who use it. Every feature reflects real feedback from real newsrooms navigating the shift to AI-driven discovery.

"We finally understand where our content appears in AI answers — and how to get paid for it."

Head of Digital, European news publisher

"Setup took 15 minutes. Within a week, we had visibility into AI agent traffic we didn’t even know existed."

CTO, independent media group

"Smalk gave us the data to renegotiate how our content is used by AI platforms. That alone was worth it."
