Search Monetization Getting Started
The onboarding process for new Swaarm Search Monetization clients is streamlined through a structured Getting Started form that guides you through the initial steps necessary to kickstart your operations on the search platform. This guide outlines the process of creating a Provider, integrating with APIs for stats retrieval, and creating a Feed.
Step 1: Create a Provider
Go to the bottom right in the platform and click ▶️ Getting Started.
Decide whether to:
Choose an already existing Provider
Create a new Provider
Enter the Name of the Provider
Select the Account Type
This is a reference tag and will have no impact on traffic or feeds
Set the Status to Active
Select the Account Manager responsible for this Provider
Optional: Select the Sales Manager
Select the Country where the Provider is operating from
Optional: Add Tags that can be used for filtering or grouping similar Providers together
Optional: Add an internal Note for your team and is never shared with third parties
Click Next and the Provider will be added to the platform.
Step 2: API Integration
The next step focuses API integration with your provider to retrieve statistics automatically.
If the provider you've created already has an existing integration, then the form will skip this step automatically.
For New Integrations:
Select the Partner (API) for integration
Fill out the required fields
Different integrations may require alternate information (e.g. API key, URL, Client, etc.)
Click Next
Step 3: Create a Feed
The final step involves creating a Feed. This is where you define the Feed URL and various settings to begin sending traffic to your campaigns.
Input the Provider Feed ID
This will help map the data accurately when importing a data
Add a custom Feed Name
Add the Feed URL
Click Add Macros for an easier editing process
Use
{term}to pass keywords
Select the targeted Countries
Set feed Status
Active will set the feed live right away once you save, and can begin receiving traffic
Pending will not set the feed live once you save, allowing you to make adjustments and add publishers and then set the feed to active later
Optional: Add any Tags to the feed for filtering options later
Optional: Add an internal Note for your team
This is for internal use only and will not be shared with third parties
Click Finish
Once you click finish, then you will be redirected to the Feed details page that you just created. Now you can add your publishers and send traffic to your feed.
