AI Search finds the sites and apps in our network that match what you sell, and saves them as a list you can attach to a campaign.
Instead of guessing at categories, AI Search reads your campaign's creatives and the landing page behind them. It then researches our inventory, looking at the pages behind the placements and not just the domain names, and returns a ranked list of placements worth bidding on.
Where to find it: Traffic → Domains & Apps in the left menu. The page is called AI Search Lists and has three tabs:
- My Lists shows your saved lists and how many campaigns use each one.
- Domains & Apps lets you browse the supply yourself and build a list by hand. This is free. You can browse two sources: the PPCmate Network, and Google Display (websites and apps that sell ads through Google).
- New AI Search is the paid research. Pick the campaign the list is for, and optionally add notes about the product, what to search (websites, apps or both) and the countries.
What it costs
You choose the research depth, and the price is per search, shown before you start:
| Depth | Price | Candidates screened | Typical result | Time |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Quick | $9 | 200 (websites) | 5 to 50 placements | about 5 min |
| Standard (recommended) | $29 | 500 (websites + apps) | 30 to 250 placements | about 10 min |
| Deep | $79 | 1,500 (websites + apps) | 100 to 800 placements | about 25 min |
Browsing Domains & Apps and building lists by hand are always free.
How long it takes: AI Search runs in the background, and you'll get a notification when your list is ready. You don't need to keep the tab open.
Using the list
- PPCmate formats (Pop-under V2, Push, Display, Native, Video): on the campaign page, attach the list under Inventory → AI Search Lists.
- Google Display: attach a Google Display list under Websites & Apps, where you can allow or block the sites and apps in it.
Google campaigns only offer Google Display lists, and PPCmate campaigns only offer PPCmate lists, so a list always matches where the campaign runs. You can attach a list as-is or use it as a starting point and refine it.
