For publishers

Put your traffic to work

You run an Australian local-services site. Your visitors are asking for quotes; someone should be paying you for that. Add a NearMe Ads slot, we fill it with the highest-bidding provider for that vertical and area, and you earn a share of every lead your site produces.

Lead-based

We pay on leads, not clicks or impressions. One real enquiry is worth more than a thousand banner views, and your share is a cut of the actual lead fee, not a fraction of a cent CPM.

Exact accounting

Your revenue share is set per site in basis points (for example 3000 bps = 30 percent of the lead fee) and recorded against every individual lead row, so payouts reconcile to the cent.

Never breaks

The embed renders self-contained cards with inline styles, labels every unit Sponsored, and fails silent if the API is unreachable. Your page never blocks on us.

1. Quick install (any site)

One script tag plus a slot div. The script finds every data-nearme-slot element, fetches ads, renders sponsored cards, and reports impressions and clicks.

<script async src="https://nearme-ads.vercel.app/embed.js" data-site="YOUR_SITE_KEY"></script>

<div data-nearme-slot="blog-inline"
     data-vertical="skip-bins"
     data-suburb="Salisbury"
     data-limit="2"></div>

Your site key is issued when you join. Placement keys: blog-inline, sidebar, search-results, footer.

2. Server-side integration (Next.js preferred)

Fetch the serve endpoint server-side with next: { revalidate: 300 }, render your own card component, then POST click events from the client. Label every unit "Sponsored".

GET /api/v1/serve?site=cheapskips&placement=sidebar&vertical=skip-bins&suburb=Salisbury&limit=2

{
  "ok": true,
  "ads": [
    {
      "campaign_id": "uuid",
      "creative": {
        "type": "provider-card",
        "headline": "Same day skip bins, Salisbury",
        "body": "All sizes, best local rates.",
        "cta": "Get a quote",
        "url": "https://example.com.au",
        "phone": "0400 000 000",
        "badge": "Local"
      },
      "provider": { "name": "...", "phone": "...", "website": "..." }
    }
  ]
}

3. API reference

GET /api/v1/serve

Query: site (required), placement, vertical (falls back to the placement or site default), suburb, postcode, limit (max 10). Only active, in-budget campaigns in your site's brand pool are returned, ordered by bid. Impressions are recorded server-side.

POST /api/v1/events

Report clicks and impressions from your own renderer.

POST /api/v1/events
{ "site": "cheapskips", "campaign_id": "uuid", "type": "click",
  "click_type": "phone", "placement": "sidebar", "suburb": "Salisbury" }

POST /api/v1/leads

Submit an enquiry form. Name and an Australian phone number are required. Include campaign_id for sponsored leads; leave it out for organic directory leads.

POST /api/v1/leads
{ "site": "cheapskips", "campaign_id": "uuid",
  "name": "Sam", "phone": "0400 000 000", "suburb": "Salisbury",
  "service": "6m3 skip", "message": "Need it Saturday" }

-> { "ok": true, "lead_id": "uuid" }

GET /api/v1/providers

The organic directory. Use it to fill pages when no paid campaign matches, so your visitors always get a result.

GET /api/v1/providers?vertical=plumbers&suburb=Prospect&limit=20

-> { "ok": true, "providers": [{ "id", "name", "phone", "website", "suburbs", "blurb" }] }
