Product · Total Search for print circulation
Total Search.Acquisition, operated.
Paid search and subscriber acquisition, run on Contrix's capital and infrastructure for a small roster of America's best-known print publishers. We invest the media, operate the landing page on your subdomain, and handle every subscriber from first click through renewal.
Three publishers. Three subdomains. One mechanism.
You don't have to take our word for how Total Search works. These are live subscription microsites we operate for three publisher partners, running paid-search acquisition right now. Click through — you'll notice you never leave their brand, and the URL bar stays theirs.

A sandbox, by design.
The publisher keeps the subscriber record, the billing relationship, and the domain authority. Contrix operates a contained mechanism inside that boundary — visible, measurable, and structurally unable to drift into territory that isn't ours.

Small roster. Long relationships.
Contrix runs Total Search partnerships for a small roster of publishers across fifteen-plus titles — most of them multi-year. The list is small because the economics favor depth over breadth: a portfolio we can truly operate, not a book of accounts.
Partner roster continues — additional names available on request.
