FAQs
1. Am I guaranteed to appear in a top spot if I run a campaign?
Not guaranteed — but you’ve got a good chance. When someone searches, we run a real-time auction. If your campaign is live, fits the search, and you’ve not hit your monthly cap, you’re in the mix. The top two spots go to those with the most competitive bids. It’s not just about budget — it’s about playing it smart.
2. What if I don’t win the auction? Will I still be charged?
No win, no fee. You’ll only ever pay when someone clicks on your listing. That means your budget goes directly towards visibility, not wasted impressions.
3. I’m worried about fraud. Can others click on my ads to waste my budget?
We’ve got robust systems in place to stop that. Every click is reviewed and filtered using advanced fraud detection — including bot-blocking and de-duplication. It’s how we make sure your budget is spent on genuine interest, not funny business.
4. Can smaller trades compete with bigger companies in this model?
Definitely. This system rewards relevance and strategy, not just spend. A well-rated trade with a smart bid can still win top placement — even against bigger businesses. You’ve got full control over your bidding strategy, and we’re here to help you get the most from it.
5. What if my budget runs out mid-month?
Your campaign will simply pause until your next billing cycle. You won’t overspend. If your campaign’s working well and you want to keep the momentum, you can increase your monthly cap — just give us a shout and we’ll sort it for you!
