Congratulations! Are there different tiers of service with varying features, or is it a one-size-fits-all approach?
Christian Thurston
@raheel_govindji Thanks, and great question Raheel! On the membership side we have a free tier, and a paid tier. The paid tier is $199 a month, includes $50 in credits, and allows you to see all of the publisher domains. In terms of orders themselves, the publishers set their prices, and we work with them to improve alignment, relevance, and to connect them with the best brands for their content. What we find is that the greater the alignment and relevance, the less important pricing becomes - but it still matters, obviously. We're also moving towards greater standardization and mutual understanding for pricing norms, and really keeping the focus on relevant connects that improve the quality of the content being created. So long as we always move in that direction, the rest will follow.

This sounds like a no brainer. A problem me and a pretty diverse range of founders I know are quite familiar with. I look forward to trying it!
Christian Thurston
@dain1 Excellent Dain, thanks for checking us out. Would love to help you!

How do publishers send back performance data to the brand? Or in general what type of extra data / quality control does the brand get via sercheye?
Christian Thurston
@vasily_andreev Thanks for the question Vasily! We show performance with brands by measuring traffic and impressions, and we make sure metrics we're sharing about publisher reach are third party and independently verified. That said, one of the big items on our roadmap is to close the loop on attribution when it comes to PR and search. That's really the missing piece that means this $XXB industry is only 1/29th the size of other channels, click for click.

Congratulations on the launch. Are there any tools for tracking the effectiveness of media mentions through SearchEye?
Christian Thurston
@finbarr Thanks! We do this somewhat manually for brands at the moment, but that's the holy grail for us - to complete the circle with full attribution. As a side-note, we estimate the lack of this in the industry means this $NNB industry is 1/29 the size that it should be.

πŸš€ Hey Christian and the SearchEye team! First off, HUGE congrats on the launch! πŸŽ‰ I've been on the lookout for a solution like this for a while now. The age-old problem of outreach being cumbersome and inefficient is something so many of us can relate to. What stands out to me about SearchEye is the win-win you've crafted for both brands and publishers. Bridging that gap and turning what was previously a time-consuming process into an efficient marketplace is truly groundbreaking. I can totally see the value this could bring in terms of brand signals and organic growth. This could be a game-changer for companies looking to amplify their presence without the traditional outreach headache.
