Ad in the search results are shown on the website, both in full and mobile versions, and in the mobile app. An advertisement block is displayed on the page with search results if it wins the “Brand shelf” auction.
The ad block is displayed:
- at the top and bottom of each search page on the site,
- at the top of the page in the mobile app and the mobile version of the site.
If the customers got on your product’s PDP through advertising, they will not see the offer of this product from other sellers. At the same time, related products may be shown to them.
Search phrases #
Search phrases are phrases that customers can use to search for products. They can consist of one or more words.
The minimum length of the phrase is 2 characters, the maximum is 100. For one product, you can specify no more than 100 phrases. It is not necessary to specify the forms of the word, for example, “refrigerator”, “refrigerator’s” or “refrigerators”. They will be taken into account automatically when searching.
You can set such phrases by which your product will be shown in a special block in search results and on category pages. We will show the product if the customer’s request contains the phrase in full. At the same time, the forms of words in the phrase are automatically taken into account, and the query may be longer than the search phrase. For example, if you have the search phrase “refrigerator” set up, your product will also be shown for queries: “refrigerators”, “Bosch refrigerator”, “white refrigerators” or “two-chamber refrigerator”.
Prepositions in the search phrase are ignored, so do not add phrases that differ only in prepositions.
Bids #
The higher your bid, the more likely it is that your product will be shown in advertising. The minimum bid is 35 rubles per 1000 impressions, the bid step is 1 ruble.
We recommend that you specify a bid based on your advertising budget, the price, and marginality of the product. You can change the bids at any time. Your products will start participating in the auction with new bids within 10 minutes after you make the changes.
Incorrect bids are corrected automatically:
- values less than the minimum will rise to the minimum;
- values with incorrect increments will be rounded down: 40.7 rubles will decrease to 40 rubles.
How to set up a campaign #
Step 1. Create a campaign #

Step 2. Add products #
The advertisement will show only one product of the same model: either the one loaded first, or the one with a higher bid. Learn more about bids
Therefore, we recommend combining the products of the same model in a single PDP, but with different characteristics such as size, weight, number of items in the lot or volume.

Verification of phrases #
We only show products if they match the search phrases. We recommend specifying the phrases best describing the product and avoiding using abstract phrases. This will help increase your conversion – the ratio of customers who saw the product to those who actually bought it.
For example, when advertising a Bosch 123 refrigerator, you set "refrigerator" and "oven" as search phrases. The algorithm will check how suitable these phrases are for your product:
- "Refrigerator": the phrase matches the product, so your refrigerator will be displayed for a query that contains it.
- "Oven": the phrase does not match the product, so your refrigerator will not be displayed for a query that contains it.
The algorithm checks that:
- The search results for this phrase often include your product or products of the same category.
- The customers who use this phrase often add your product or products of the same category to cart.
- Description of your product matches the search phrase. Avoid adding all phrases to the description. It must stay clear to the user.
For some categories of products, we also check the search phrases manually. You will see the check result at the campaign page. The check of search phrases can take several minutes.
Click on the number of search phrases to find out which phrases will not cause the product to be shown.
We never stop collecting new data and rechecking the statuses of search phrases. If your product is not being shown after checking your search phrases, you can leave them as they are and check again later on.

- Поисковая фраза (“Search phrase”): a phrase you set for a product that matches a customer's query.
- Показы (“Impressions”): the number of product impressions upon customer's query.
Your search queries may turn out to be matching undesired queries. For example, you sell bicycle bells and have set the phrase "bell" for your product. This phrase matches a popular query "wireless door bell" that yields 10 impressions of your product. To avoid wasting money on undesired views, you can add a negative keyword "door bell". Adding a list of negative keywords can help with saving the budget of your advertising campaign.
