Where are your ads shown?

Your ads are visible on our website. They appear in the 7th position in the search results, on both the category page and the search results page.

Search results page

Here you get a Branded Shelves ad when a visitor specifically searches for an item or item groups. For example, if someone searches for ‘blender’, they will directly land on the page with all blenders. The search page does not contain a breadcrumb trail at the top. Your Branded Shelves ad will also be shown here within the item feed.

Visitors can filter here by subcategories such as type of kitchen machine and brand. Category pages are recognizable by the breadcrumb trail at the top of the page, such as Electronics > Kitchen Machines > Blenders. Your Branded Shelves ad will be visible within the item feed.
