YP
Your product Sponsored

Your tagline, as it reads on your product page. The ad links straight to it.

A sponsored placement sits above the page's own results, always labeled.

Where your ad shows

Four placements, each read by people comparing products and the tools they are built with. Pick any of them per campaign.

  • Top of niche pages

    Above the products on a niche page. Campaigns targeting niches show only on theirs.

    Beside the daily launch board, next to today's launches.

How billing works

Ads are billed to your company, not to you, so anyone who manages it sees the same credit and campaigns.

  1. Add prepaid credit

    Top up from $20 through Stripe, on your company's own billing. Credit never expires.

  2. Create a campaign

    Pick one of your public products, where it shows, the niches to target, a daily and a total budget, and an optional end date.

  3. Get approved once

    Your company's first campaign is reviewed by a person. After that, new campaigns start as soon as you submit them.

  4. Pay per view, pause anytime

    Each view is taken from your credit as it happens. Pause, resume or end a campaign whenever you like; unspent credit stays yours.

Questions advertisers ask

What counts as a view?

A view is counted when at least half of the ad has been on screen for a full second. The same visitor is billed for at most 3 views of a campaign a day; anything past that is free. Bots and your own team are never counted.

Do clicks cost extra?

No. You pay for views only. Clicks are counted and shown in your campaign stats, but never billed.

Can I spend more than I planned?

No. A campaign stops showing the moment one more view would go past its daily budget, its total budget or your remaining credit, whichever comes first.

What happens when my credit runs out?

Running campaigns pause and the owners of your company get a notification. They pick up again by themselves as soon as you add credit.

Who can advertise?

Any company on Shipfolio with a published, public product. Owners and admins of the company create campaigns and add credit; the plan does not matter.

Does advertising change my ranking?

No. Sponsored slots sit apart from organic results and are always labeled Sponsored. Ads never feed rankings or recommendations, and Knots can never be turned into ad credit.

Why was my campaign not approved?

The reviewer leaves a reason you see on the campaign. Edit it and submit it again; it goes back into review.
