CrawlClick

US / USD / invite-only pilot

Build the commercial layer around AI answers.

CrawlClick lets publishers test revenue from verified AI crawls and lets advertisers test reviewed, clearly disclosed source placements. The infrastructure works today. Whether those placements surface in answers is the experiment.

Two sides, one test

FOR PUBLISHERS

Measure the exchange. Test a new revenue line.

Verify which answer-engine crawlers actually reach your site, compare crawls with directional AI-referral analytics, and opt into disclosed insertions for eligible network-verified crawler requests. Human traffic stays unchanged and is never billable.

FOR ADVERTISERS

Test reviewed claims where engines gather source material.

Prepay a bounded budget, submit an HTTPS destination and a reviewable claim, then inspect insertion evidence. Billing is per disclosed network-verified crawler insertion, not per referral or promised answer outcome.

What we can prove—and what the pilot must learn

No illustrative traffic claims

  1. 01 / built

    Verified request

    Identify the crawler from vendor-backed network evidence, not a forgeable user-agent alone.

  2. 02 / built

    Disclosed insertion

    Bind the reviewed claim, destination, price and publisher to a traceable event.

  3. 03 / built

    Money movement

    Prepay, settle balanced books, and make publisher payouts through Stripe Connect.

  4. 04 / validating

    Answer surfacing

    Measure whether an engine carries the sourced, disclosed claim into an answer. No outcome is guaranteed.

System position

What makes a test credible?

01 / Verification

A user-agent is not identity.

Eligibility uses vendor address ranges, forward-confirmed reverse DNS or signed-request evidence. Spoofs fail closed.

02 / Disclosure

The label travels with the claim.

Sponsored language is part of the visible passage and reviewed destination, not hidden metadata or an instruction to a model.

03 / Accounting

Prepaid means bounded.

Campaigns cannot spend beyond funded balance. Every settlement is balanced in micros and every Stripe operation is idempotent.

04 / Resilience

The publisher site remains primary.

If CrawlClick cannot safely serve, the edge returns the original page. The monetization layer is never the availability dependency.
