Every placement includes
- An Advertisement label on the unit, so visitors always know it is paid
- Campaign tags on the click-through link, so traffic shows up in your own analytics
- Rotation among a maximum of four sponsors per placement, so no advertiser dominates
How sponsored placements work
We sell placement, not influence. Three rules apply to every campaign that runs on the site.
Paid placements are labeled
Every unit carries an Advertisement label with your business named. A placement never reads as a directory listing or a recommendation.
Advertising does not change listings
Buying a placement has no effect on who appears in the directory, how listings are ordered, or which businesses are verified. Those stay separate.
You can follow your own traffic
Every unit links out with campaign tags, so the visits it sends show up in your own analytics.
What we need from your team
Send this list to whoever is producing the campaign. Two routes cover every placement, and if anything is missing we will come back to you rather than delay your start date.
Option one, built at no cost
Let us build the unit
- A headline, the first line a reader sees
- One short supporting sentence, optional
- A button label, for example Learn more
- An image to sit beside the copy, optional, landscape and at least 720x400
Option two, your artwork
Send finished banner artwork
- 970x90 for the top strip and home page leaderboard
- 728x90 for the directory leaderboard
- 320x100 for phones on any banner, if you have that cut (otherwise the desktop size is scaled down)
- 300x250 for sidebar placements
- A headline for the artwork, used as the description read out to screen readers
Every campaign also needs
- Advertiser name
- Shown next to the Advertisement label on the unit.
- Your logo
- A square or compact mark, at least 200x200, that stays readable on a white tile. If you cannot send one, your initials stand in.
- Destination URL
- Where the unit should send readers. Campaign tags are added to the link automatically at click time.
- Campaign name
- The tag name you want on the campaign, so the traffic is easy to find in your analytics.
- Placement and run dates
- Which placement, and the day you want the campaign to start and end.
- Your logo and creative are due five business days before the start date.
- Every unit is labeled Advertisement for the whole placement, with the advertiser named.
- Monthly placements are reserved and paid in three-month increments, and each placement rotates among a maximum of four sponsors.
- Advertising has no effect on directory listings, verified badges or search order.
