How the auction ranks ads

Your bidmax cost per click

Quality score0.5 – 1.5expected clicks × listing quality × broker match rate

Adjustmentplacement & audiencee.g. +50% top of search

Ad Rankhighest wins

Try itThree sellers bid on the search “white marble”. Change their bids and quality.

You pay just enough to beat the ad below you — never more than your bid × adjustment. Notice a high-quality listing can win the top spot with a lower bid, and pay less.

Targeting

Keywords

Broad, phrase and exact match, plus negative keywords for searches you don’t want.

Automatic

We match your listing to searches and product pages: close match, loose match, substitutes and complements.

Products

Show on specific listings — including competitors’ lots of the same stone.

Categories

Every listing of a material, optionally one colour (e.g. white marble).

Similar photos

We compare your main photo with every listing (colour, tone, veining) and show you where they look alike.

Audiences

Bid more for buyers who viewed your stone, viewed similar stone, or bought from you before.

Budgets and billing

Set a daily budget; we never spend more than that per day. Clicks from the same buyer within 30 minutes count once. Ad costs are billed monthly from your payouts or card. Autopilot can adjust bids and budgets for you within limits you set.

Measuring results

Reports show impressions, clicks, CTR, CPC, orders and sales attributed within 14 days of a click, ROAS and ACoS — by search term, keyword or target, placement, product and market — with custom dates, comparisons and CSV download.
