How do sponsored services work?

Sponsored services allow you to boost the visibility of one of your services in search results and category listings. It’s a great way to increase your exposure and improve your chances of making sales.

🛠️ Creating a sponsored campaign

To promote a service, you need to create a campaign. It only takes a few clicks. You’ll need to define:

  • The service to promote

    👉 One campaign = one service. To sponsor multiple services, create separate campaigns.

  • The campaign duration

    ⏱️ Between 7 and 30 days

    💡 Not too short (give it time to work), and not too long (so you stay in control)

  • Your budget

    💰 Minimum: €5 – Maximum: €500

    ➕ You can create multiple campaigns for the same service to increase your budget.

  • Launch date

    📅 If a date isn’t available, it means that day is fully booked with active campaigns.

👁️ How are impressions calculated?

When setting up your campaign, ComeUp will show you the guaranteed number of impressions based on:

  • The category of your service
  • The budget you allocate

📌 An impression counts only when your service thumbnail is visible on-screen in listings (categories, search results). If it’s not on screen, it’s not counted.

💡 Impression pricing is based on CPM (Cost Per 1,000 impressions) and varies by category performance.

Example:
Category X: 1,000,000 views → €5,000 revenue
Category Y: 500,000 views → €10,000 revenue
👉 You’ll pay more per impression in Category Y because it has a higher sales potential.

🖼️ How is my service displayed?

Once your campaign is active, your service will be labeled “Sponsored” in the listings.

The algorithm will display it:

  • Primarily in the exact category of your service
  • Secondarily in parent categories, all the way up to the homepage
  • In relevant search results, if your service matches the search keywords

🎯 The goal: to display your service in the right place at the right time to maximize your sales potential.

You can track your campaign performance in real-time with detailed graphs, directly in the “Sponsored Services” section.

⏹️ End or stopping a campaign

Your campaign will end automatically once it reaches its scheduled duration.

It’s normal to receive more impressions than guaranteed—the number shown is a minimum, not a cap.

You can also manually stop a campaign at any time. If you stop it after it has started, the unused budget will be refunded, minus 20%, to account for the reserved ad space.

If the campaign has not yet started, you’ll be fully refunded.
