In a significant step forward for AI-driven advertising, NAVER has officially rolled out ADVoost Max, its latest evolution in AI advertising solutions. This new offering integrates deeply with NAVER’s conversational AI experiences, starting with ad placements in the popular AI Briefing feature.

What is ADVoost Max?

ADVoost Max builds on NAVER’s existing ADVoost lineup by going beyond traditional Naver Brand Search (NBS) and keyword-based search ads. It leverages advanced AI to understand user search intent, exploration context, and conversational flows. Delivering highly relevant, context-aware advertisements that feel more like natural content than intrusive ads.

The first implementation launches in AI Briefing, NAVER’s service that summarizes search results and user intents for quick answers. With approximately 30 million monthly users, AI Briefing has become a go-to destination for efficient information discovery in the AI era.

Key Features of ADVoost Max in AI Briefing

• Seamless, Natural Integration: Ads appear as text-based units directly within AI Briefing summaries. They blend naturally with the content, matching the user’s exploration journey rather than disrupting it.
• Full AI Agent Automation: NAVER’s advertising agent handles everything:
  • Analyzes the context of the AI Briefing and user intent.
  • Selects optimal exposure points.
  • Automatically generates compelling ad copy tailored to the moment.

  This reduces operational burden for advertisers while significantly improving message relevance and potential engagement.

• Launch Timeline:
  • Advertiser Center opened: July 15, 2026
  • Ad impressions begin: July 21, 2026
• Easy Onboarding: For users already running Extended Search via ADVoost, the feature activates by default. Advertisers can toggle it off if preferred.

Important Notes for Advertisers

Before launching campaigns, NAVER recommends preparing three key elements alongside basic AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) improvements:

1. Fill out schema.org structured data on landing pages.
2. Ensure your site name is clear and user-friendly.
3. Install conversion tracking scripts.

Restricted Industries: Financial/insurance, medical, and health functional food sectors are currently not eligible due to review policies.

Why This Matters in Today’s Search Landscape

NAVER’s push with ADVoost Max comes as AI fundamentally reshapes how users search and discover information. Features like AI Tab (which replaced the Green Dot and has seen strong adoption) and AI Briefing are driving NAVER’s search market share above 80%. Advertisers now have the opportunity to meet users at the exact moment of intent within these conversational experiences.

By combining powerful AI context analysis with automated creative generation, ADVoost Max represents a shift toward “agent-like” advertising—where the platform doesn’t just show ads but actively participates in crafting relevant brand moments.

Looking Ahead

This launch marks the beginning of ADVoost Max’s rollout. NAVER plans to expand the solution across more AI-powered surfaces, continuing to blend discovery, action, and commerce in increasingly natural ways.

For advertisers, the message is clear: optimizing for AI-driven search isn’t optional anymore, it’s the new standard for visibility and performance in NAVER’s ecosystem.
