AI Compass is an independent publication covering AI tools across eight verticals — writing, developer tooling, chatbots, creative and design, business and finance, marketing and SEO, education, and healthcare. We publish long-form reviews, comparisons, and buyer guides, and we are indexed across Google and the major AI answer engines.
If you are building an AI product and need qualified visibility rather than raw impressions, we offer a small number of paid placements each month. Every placement is permanent, indexable, and clearly labelled as paid. Here is exactly what is on offer, what it costs, and what we will not publish.
What we offer
Tool Listing
A 300-word introduction of your tool, one dofollow link to your site, and inclusion in the relevant vertical index. Live within 48 hours.
In-Depth Review
900–1,200 words with a positioning section, a feature breakdown, a comparison table, and an honest pros-and-cons list. One permanent dofollow link, plus a homepage feature for three days.
Guest Post
1,000+ words on a topic our readers actually search for. You can supply the draft or we can write it. One contextual dofollow link and one share to our social channel.
Sidebar Banner
A 300×250 or 300×600 display unit in the sidebar across the site. One advertiser at a time, no network fill. Creative supplied by you; we can resize it.

What we do not accept
Turning down money is the only way a review site stays worth reading. We decline the following, at any price:
- Gambling, betting, and casino-related products
- Adult content and dating-for-traffic schemes
- Prescription drugs, unapproved supplements, and any health product making treatment claims
- Crypto tokens, ICO promotion, and anything promising guaranteed financial returns
- Essay mills, fake credentials, and academic fraud
- Bulk link-farm orders, PBN placements, or any request to hide that a post is paid
Editorial standards
- Everything paid is labelled. Sponsored pieces carry a “Sponsored” or “Partner Content” notice at the top of the page. There are no undisclosed placements.
- Payment buys space, not a verdict. If a tool has real limitations, the review says so. We would rather lose a repeat order than publish something our readers cannot trust.
- Links are dofollow by default. We reserve the right to nofollow or remove any link we consider manipulative.
- Published means published. We correct factual errors and we update outdated screenshots, but we do not delete a review because a client changed their mind.
- No phantom placements. If we accept a booking, something goes live. If we cannot deliver, you are refunded in full before publication.
How it works
- Send us the tool name, a one-line pitch, and the keyword you want the piece to rank for.
- We reply within one business day confirming whether it fits and quoting the exact price.
- You approve the outline. The piece goes live within 2–4 business days of payment.
- You receive the live URL, and a short performance note 30 days later covering impressions, clicks, and referral signups where we can measure them.
Get in touch
Use our contact form and include three things: the tool, your deadline, and whether you want us to write the piece or you will supply a draft. We invoice in USD before publication and accept PayPal or Wise. For anything time-sensitive, say so in the subject line.
Affiliate disclosure. Some links on AI Compass are affiliate links, and we may earn a commission when a reader signs up through them. That commission never changes what we recommend, and it is separate from the paid placements described above, which are always labelled.
