For Publishers

Turn your audience into a performance-based partnership

LocalWinds gives publishers access to relevant campaigns, transparent reporting, and dedicated support — with clear expectations from day one.

What you get

Built around the way publishers actually work

Suitable campaign access

Campaigns are matched to your traffic sources, geography, and audience rather than offered blanket-wide.

Multiple categories

Work across the verticals that fit your content and audience, from insurance to finance to e-commerce.

Transparent tracking

Access reporting that reflects real campaign activity, so you always know how a partnership is performing.

Timely communication

Get updates on campaign status, changes, and requirements without having to chase them down.

Dedicated account support

A point of contact who understands your traffic and helps resolve issues as they come up.

Campaign-specific payout models

Payout structures vary by campaign and are disclosed as part of that campaign's terms.

Compliance requirements

Every campaign carries its own compliance requirements covering permitted traffic sources, disclosures, consent, and promotional methods. Publishers are expected to review and follow these requirements for each campaign they join.

  • Campaign-specific promotional rules
  • Consent and disclosure requirements where applicable
  • Restrictions on prohibited traffic types and methods
