Broadening Search Engine Coverage with LookSmart and Mirago
Atlas DMT’s latest update to its Atlas OnePoint platform now lets advertisers tap into two additional search ecosystems: LookSmart and Mirago. These additions give small and mid‑tier marketers a broader playground for reaching audiences in both the U.S. and international markets. The decision builds on the company’s commitment to keep OnePoint the go‑to hub for paid search management.
LookSmart, long known for its local search focus, brings an audience that frequently uses hyper‑localized queries. Mirago, on the other hand, offers a global reach with strong penetration in emerging markets. Together, they fill gaps left by the dominant players and give advertisers the chance to diversify ad spend across a more varied mix of search engines.
Before this rollout, Atlas OnePoint supported 32 search and shopping portals - including Google, Bing, Yahoo, and Overture. Adding LookSmart and Mirago brings that number to 34. Each engine can now be managed from a single dashboard, where users can set bids, craft ad copy, and review performance metrics without hopping between interfaces.
“Through our Atlas OnePoint offering, we continue to build on our expanded vision to be the leading solution for small and mid‑tier online marketers to manage all aspects of their marketing campaigns,” said Dave Carlson, president of Atlas OnePoint. “These latest enhancements further exemplify our commitment to maintaining our lead in the global online marketing management marketplace.” His words underline how the company sees search engine expansion as a core part of its strategy.
Implementing LookSmart and Mirago in OnePoint is straightforward. Existing users can simply add the new engines in the “Account Settings” section, after which new campaigns can be launched with the same workflow that has been refined over years of client use. The platform automatically pulls performance data, enabling real‑time optimization just as it does for Google and Bing.
From a budget perspective, advertisers can now test smaller spend levels on these engines without significant risk. LookSmart’s lower cost‑per‑click rates, paired with Mirago’s less competitive markets, often produce higher click‑through rates for niche queries. This can translate into more conversions for the same spend.
Because Atlas OnePoint aggregates data across all supported engines, the platform’s analytics layer remains powerful. Campaign owners can still see consolidated spend, impressions, clicks, and revenue figures in one view, helping them decide where to shift budget in the next cycle.
Looking ahead, Atlas DMT has hinted at future integrations with additional niche search providers. The current expansion demonstrates that the company is ready to respond quickly to market demands and keep the platform fresh for its user base.
By broadening its search engine list, Atlas OnePoint gives marketers the tools they need to test new territories without leaving the familiar comfort of a unified platform. This move is poised to give smaller agencies and in‑house teams a competitive edge, especially when they look to reach audiences that still rely on alternative search channels.

The platform’s user community forums have already started discussing first‑hand experiences, hinting that the launch has been well received by those who need a more diversified search strategy.
