Sponsored
Product Ads

Drive visibility & sales at the point of purchase

Sponsored Product Ads (SPA) place your items in premium spots – homepage, search, category and product detail pages – reaching shoppers near purchase to boost product discovery and conversion. Campaigns run on pay‑per‑click pricing with first‑party targeting.

Why book Sponsored Product Ads?

Sponsored Product Ads compete directly with other products on the same shopping pages and help you gain prominent visibility in the homepage environment and category areas. They are especially effective for driving traffic to product pages, improving conversion rates and delivering measurable sales uplift.

Key benefits

  • Higher visibility on homepage, search and category and pages
  • Increased traffic to PDP and better conversion performance
  • Pay‑per‑click pricing with flexible budgets and bidding control

  • Automated keyword modelling and contextual product selection for relevant exposure  

How Sponsored Product Ads work

1

Feed activation

We use your product catalog – titles, images and prices – to generate native creatives that match the shopping experience.

2

Matching & auction

Automated keyword modelling and onsite signals pick the best item per search or page context and submit it to the auction

3

Click to convert

Shoppers click the ad and are taken to the PDP, where a well-presented offer supports conversion.

4

Optimize & report

Real-time bidding and ongoing reporting enable quick optimization and clear measurement of return on ad spend (ROAS).

Features and integrations

  • Premium placements across homepage, search, category and product pages

  • Pay‑per‑click bidding with budget flexibility and automated bidding options

Yes. These ads are designed to appear alongside competing products to increase visibility and consideration at the point of purchase.

Many advertisers use continuous campaigns as baseline support and adjust budgets for launches and seasonal peaks. Continuous runs can help maintain visibility, defend presence and support long-term performance.

Clicks and product page visits often increase within days, but measurable sales uplift and a clear return on ad spend usually require a minimum four‑week pilot to optimize bids and targeting. Start with a focused SKU set, set clear KPIs, let automated bidding stabilize, and review performance weekly.
