Advertise on autoseeker
Ad space on an independent car search engine. What we offer, what it costs us in trust, and how to get in touch.
Who comes here
autoseeker is an independent EU car-spec search engine: specs, per-category ratings and owner reviews, each with a source and a reference date. No marketplace, no vehicle sales, no lease or insurance funnel. People arrive in the research phase, while they compare their next car and have not yet decided which one it will be.
The audience is largely non-technical: ordinary car buyers who want to understand what a range figure, a towing weight or a tax percentage means for them. That is why the language here is plain and jargon-free. This audience reads, compares and decides slowly, exactly the moment an auto-related brand wants to be present.
We quote no visitor numbers we cannot back up. Ask for the current figures by email; we share what is traceable and frame the rest as indicative.
Why the context works
The whole site is about cars. A charging card, a set of winter tyres, a parts shop, a home charger, a car subscription or a rental sits next to content that belongs with it: an EV model page, a diesel-versus-electric comparison, a guide on consumption in freezing weather. The ad sits in its natural environment, next to a reader who is thinking about cars right now.
The editorial side is independent, and that independence is the trust the site runs on. An ad next to independent content carries more weight than the same ad among advertising.
What you can book
The ad positions are already built into the site, visually separated from the editorial content and labelled as advertising. Available forms:
- Fixed placement (direct). You buy a position from us directly, for a period. No intermediary. This is the form we prefer for auto-related brands.
- Positions on model, comparison, guide and index pages. A block in its natural environment, for example a charging card on the EV model pages or a tyre shop on the model pages of common cars. We expand the inventory by agreement, not unprompted.
- Sponsored guide. An editorial guide on your topic, labelled as sponsored up front and visibly. A paid guide never appears as an independent judgement and never touches a rating.
The independence promise
This is not fine print, it is the core of the product.
- Ads and sponsored placements never influence a rating or a specification. The figures follow the public methodology and its stated sources only.
- An advertiser gets no preview of a score, no influence over it and no way to have a figure adjusted.
- With insufficient data a score stays empty, even where that is commercially inconvenient.
- Every ad is visually separated from the editorial content and labelled as advertising. Affiliate links carry rel="sponsored", so the commercial relation is machine-readable too.
