Advertise where AI recommends
the next phone plan.
When consumers ask ChatGPT or Perplexity to compare mobile plans, find the best 5G coverage, or switch carriers, AI reads trusted publisher pages to build its answer. Smalk places your ads on those exact pages — so AI recommends your network.
A new advertising channel for telecom
Google gave you paid search. Comparison sites gave you affiliate leads.
Now AI search is the fastest-growing channel for carrier discovery.
Your current ads don't reach AI search
AI engines don't show banners. They don't click your paid search links. They read publisher content and recommend carriers based on what they find there.
Display Ads Are Invisible to AI
When ChatGPT reads a carrier comparison article, it ignores display ads entirely. Your current media spend has zero influence on which carrier AI recommends to plan shoppers.
Paid Search Doesn't Reach AI Users
A growing share of consumers skip Google entirely and ask AI directly: "best unlimited data plan" or "best 5G coverage near me." Your search budget misses them.
No Ads = No Mention in the AI Answer
AI builds its carrier recommendations from editorial content on trusted publisher pages. If your brand isn't present on those pages, AI has no reason to mention your network.
The first ad platform for AI search
Smalk identifies the publisher pages AI trusts for telecom queries, then lets you place contextual ads on those pages. Your carrier becomes part of what AI recommends.

Native, AI-readable placements on the publisher pages ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini cite for telecom queries — not display banners.
