Marketing & Monetization update

We’re spreading the word to drive more users and increase the number of searches to build revenue!

YouTuber outreach
The project continues to engage in outreach to YouTubers and other crypto influencers.
Participated in a Flux X Space on Thursday.
Keyword staking pricing
Current thinking is that there will be:
No charges for ads at the bottom of results
2% per/month of stake for ads at the top of results
Looking to lock this in, pending community feedback
Traffic & usage report
600–650k legit searches each day
Averaging about 350 new user sign-ups per day
Continuing to be on the look out for main types of abuse: token farming, result scraping, SEO manipulation
More data to corroborate traffic & usage #s

Presearch slogans

For Presearch to reach millions of new users, the project needs simple, repeatable messaging

We need community feedback to help craft the Presearch slogan
