Partner with SlipperSkin
SlipperSkin is a skincare and makeup apps review publication with editorial standards and topical focus. Sponsored placements sit on a labelled shelf beside our editorial ranking, and we accept them only from skincare and makeup apps whose audience genuinely overlaps with ours. Editorial rankings were locked before we monetized and stay under our byline. Sponsorship buys visibility, never a verdict. If that's your product, the form below is the fastest path. Decisions within 24 hours.
Most partners optimize for Google. We engineer for the answer engines, and we can prove it.
The Lattice network is cited across Microsoft Copilot at a scale we publish rather than assert, and the current figure, its measurement date and the per-property breakdown are in the verification section below. It is a Bing-measured sample of AI-answer citations, not click traffic, and it is specific to Microsoft Copilot. FreightProbe is a new property and has earned none of that figure yet. A placement here sits inside the source material the AI engines read when they answer your buyer.
To be exact about the proof: that figure is Microsoft Copilot specifically (the engine we have instrumented), it counts citations, being shown as a source in an AI answer, and Bing itself labels the count a sample. We make no traffic guarantee. Editorial rankings were locked before we monetized and stay under our byline; sponsorship buys visibility, never a verdict.
Citations are the scale story. The conversion story is ChatGPT, and it is compounding: ChatGPT referrals to the network's largest property grew 172 percent month over month.
Which is why we price the way we do: placements are priced on observed AI landings, not on citation counts. A citation is a mention; a landing is a person. We tier pages on the AI sessions they actually receive, and we will tell you which instrument produced any number we show you.
See placements and pricingWhy placements here are priced as premium
An ad interrupts someone. A SlipperSkin page answers them.
Everyone who reads this page arrived because they asked an AI assistant or a search engine about exactly this category. Advertising buys attention. A placement here puts you inside the answer.
Most advertising is a net: cast it over a feed of thousands and hope a few of them were shopping for what you sell that minute. Lattice works the other way. The network is thousands of single hooks, each one baited for one exact question and sitting on the page an AI assistant reads when someone asks it. Whoever finds you here was already looking.
Six months of presence, to scale
What each option costs before anything runs. Bars are drawn to scale.
167x less than ChatGPT ads, for six months on a page the answer is built from.
What the same budget buys elsewhere
| Option | What it costs | Who it reaches |
|---|---|---|
| Meta ads (Facebook, Instagram) | $4.82 to $8.32 per 1,000 impressions1,2 | Whoever is scrolling a feed, shopping for your category or not |
| LinkedIn ads | about $39 per 1,000 impressions2 | People matched by job title, not by what they are trying to buy |
| Google search ads | $5.42 per click on average ($9.87 in legal), paid again for every click3,4 | Searchers, but paid click-through fell 68% on queries where Google shows an AI answer |
| ChatGPT ads | $25 to $60 per 1,000 impressions; launched with a $200,000 minimum, since cut to about $50,0005 | A sponsored unit beside the answer, not inside it |
| GEO agency retainer | $6,850 a month (median), about $41,100 over six months6 | A campaign to try to get you onto the pages AI assistants cite |
| A Lattice placement | $300 on SlipperSkin for six months, the network's entry rate | Your product on the page the AI assistant already reads, in front of someone asking about your category |
Why the answer is where the money moved
- 51% of B2B software buyers now start their buying journey in an AI chatbot, not a search engine.7
- Only 12% of the links ChatGPT, Gemini and Copilot cite appear in Google's top 10 for the same question, so a search budget does not buy you into the answer.8
Why there is no free route onto these pages
We receive around 15 requests a day from companies asking to be included. Editorial reviews stay merit-based and wait in a queue, and not every request makes it onto a page. Partner placements skip that queue: they go live as soon as your copy is approved, labelled as sponsored, and they never change our editorial rankings or verdicts. That independence is why the answer engines keep citing these pages, and it is what you are buying access to.

What SlipperSkin is
SlipperSkin reviews skincare and makeup apps across every major category: ingredient checker apps, AI skin analysis apps, makeup try-on and shade-matching tools, and routine and dupe-finder apps. We compare on the numbers makers publish, compute what they imply (the cost of a year, what a score is built on), and publish dated verdicts. Our reader is someone standing in a beauty aisle with a phone and a shortlist, actively evaluating which app to pay for.
Placements and pricing
Three placements, one rate card. Every one holds the same editorial standards; the difference is placement type, not what we'll say. A Featured slot sits beside the editorial ranking, clearly labeled, and the ranking stays exactly as our byline wrote it. Position is not for sale, at any price, to anyone. Turnaround is 24 hours from your sign-off to live, on every placement.
- Featured slot in a roundup we already run: ~150 word write-up, our byline, 1 rel=sponsored link
- Live within 24 hours of your sign-off
- Unlimited sponsored slots per page, ordered by top-of-shelf bid
- Quiet "Sponsored" label at the entry itself, per FTC guidance
- Full-length review, 1,200 to 2,000 words, written from published documentation, pricing and public records, our byline
- Permanent URL, up to 2 rel=sponsored links, internally linked from related articles
- Live within 24 hours of your sign-off
- We honor caveats: if the product has a real weakness we note it, which is what makes the rest of the page worth reading
- Sponsored placements are held to the same evidence standard as everything else on this site: published figures and public records
That is how often Microsoft Copilot named a Lattice page as its source. Methodology and datasets published with DOIs, from an ORCID-verified research network.
Microsoft Copilot citations, Bing Webmaster Tools AI Performance, 90 days to 15 October 2026. Bing labels the figure a sample.
The top sponsored position on a page, for a 6-month term. Held for 30 days guaranteed, then open to a higher bid of at least 20%; if you are outbid you get 7 days to match and your placement stays on the shelf either way.
Take the top · $600A featured placement and a full review of your product, written from published documentation, pricing and public records, on the same property. Both on the 6-month term.

Ask about partner terms- Unlimited sponsored slots per page. Every slot is labelled Sponsored and sits on the shelf beside our editorial ranking.
- 6-month term per placement.
- Top of shelf is biddable: 30-day guaranteed hold, then outbid by 20% or more, with a 7-day right to match.
- Editorial rankings and verdicts are never for sale. That is why the answer engines cite these pages, and why a placement here is worth buying.
- Pay by card, or by invoice on net 15.
For context: agencies bill $5,000 to $12,000 a month for AI-visibility programmes, and monitoring alone runs $250 to $500 a month. A Lattice placement puts you inside the source the answer engine cites.

- Earned from our data, not bought, and it cannot be purchased at any of the prices above
- Live now in the AI-video category; expanding per niche as each dataset clears our honesty floor
- The honest on-ramp for a buyer who is not ready to buy a placement
YMYL floor. On health, pharmacy, medical, legal and financial properties the $300 entry is not offered. The floor there is $350, because those pages carry a duty of care the entry tier cannot fund.
How sponsorship works here
- Topical fit is mandatory. Your product must genuinely serve someone reading a beauty app comparison. If it does not, we decline at any price.
- Editorial control stays with us. You can suggest angles and provide product info. Final copy, ranking, and verdict are written under our byline using our voice and methodology.
- Position is not for sale, at any price, to anyone. A paid placement never changes what we rank, what we recommend, or what the verdict says. A featured slot sits beside the ranking, labelled. Editorial rankings were locked before we monetized and are not purchasable afterward. A sponsor who already earned the top spot on merit keeps it and gets the label; a sponsor who did not cannot buy it.
- We disclose, quietly and at the unit. Every sponsored placement carries the single word "Sponsored" at metadata weight beside the entry's own name, plus
rel="sponsored"on all paid links, per FTC + Google guidance. Sponsored placements are tested to the same standard as everything else on the page, which is why the label can stay a footnote instead of a warning. - We do not maintain
/deals/or/partners/subfolders. Sponsored content lives inline with regular editorial, audited annually for topical cohesion under Google's Site Reputation Abuse policy. - We honor caveats. If your product has a real weakness, we will note it. Pretending otherwise damages our credibility and ultimately your placement value.
rel="sponsored" on all advertiser links · our byline + house style · editorial ranking is never for sale · annual topical-cohesion audit · no off-niche placements regardless of price.
What we will not do
- Crypto, NFTs, "make money online" pitches (off-topic regardless of price)
- AI products with active fraud or undisclosed-deception complaints
- "Five-star" guaranteed-rating placements (we write honest reviews; ranking is editorial)
- Hidden sponsorship (no visible label, no
rel="sponsored") - Placement in YMYL niches (medical, legal, financial advice) that SlipperSkin does not cover
