Boost Media

Boost Media (formerly BoostCTR) was a digital-advertising creative-optimization SaaS platform that paired machine-learning analysis with a curated marketplace of more than 1,000 human writers and designers to test and improve ad creative across paid search, social, video, and display campaigns. Its technology powered roughly $1 billion in paid-search advertising for around 100 global brands across retail, education, financial services, healthcare and insurance, gaming, auto, and travel. Backed by Battery Ventures (Series C, $19M, 2014), Founder Collective, and 500 Global, the company raised about $42.8M total before being acquired by AdLabs Technology in April 2019. The company is now closed; its former domain (boostmedia.com) has been released and now serves a GoDaddy parking lander, and the acquirer's own domain (adlabs.ai) no longer resolves. This profile is retained as a Battery Ventures portfolio record. No public API, developer portal, or specification surface exists to enrich — the Internet Archive record of boostmedia.com shows a WordPress marketing site and blog only, with no developer, docs, or API path ever published.

Boost Media is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Advertising, Marketing, Creative Optimization, and Paid Search.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/boost-media: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.

  status closed. Re-probed 2026-08-12 — boostmedia.com now RESOLVES (3.33.130.190, NS domaincontrol.com) but serves a GoDaddy
  parking lander, and boostctr.com redirects to a HugeDomains for-sale listing; the acquirer's domain adlabs.ai no longer
  resolves. The parking host answers HTTP 200 with the same 114-byte HTML redirect shell for EVERY path, including /.well-known/agent-card.json,
  /openapi.json and /swagger.json — treat all such 200s as soft-404s, not as a served surface.

  note: Full contract-discovery pass run against boostmedia.com and boostctr.com; every /.well-known/* and spec path returns
    a soft-200 parking shell, no real document. No artifacts written. Corrected the stale "NXDOMAIN" claim in x-status-detail
    — the domain resolves again, but as a parked lander.

    lander that soft-200s every path with a 114-byte HTML redirect shell, boostctr.com redirects to a HugeDomains for-sale
    page, the acquirer's adlabs.ai does not resolve, and the Internet Archive record of the site shows only a WordPress marketing
    blog with no developer or API path.
