What you are buying
A sponsored placement puts your approved tool in a numbered position in a separate Sponsored section for the weeks you choose. It is a one-time purchase, with no subscription or automatic renewal.
The homepage has six positions. Browse all tools, the page at /tools where visitors explore the directory, has three separate positions. Enabled category pages can have up to three. The calendar shows the pages currently available to book; your tool must belong to the category you choose.
You are buying placement, not a promised number of impressions, clicks, leads or sales. Listing approval and ownership verification remain free.
Where visitors see your card
Homepage placements appear in the Sponsored section between Categories and Featured tools. Browse all tools placements appear above the tool results at /tools, on the first page with no search or filters selected. They do not appear on search, category, pricing-filtered or later results pages. Category placements appear above the organic results on the first page of the matching category, when no search query is applied.
Cards keep their numbered order: position 1 comes before position 2. Empty positions are omitted, so your card may initially appear higher if earlier positions are unsold. That can change if those positions sell. Mobile layouts use fewer columns while keeping the same order.
Sponsored cards are labeled Sponsored. Payment does not change organic search results, related tools, the editorial Featured grid, approval decisions or safety reviews.
Use the page links below to see these locations. They show the live site, and the Sponsored section is hidden when no placements are running.
Before you advertise
Sign in with a confirmed email address and claim your approved tool from its public listing. Complete the offered DNS or domain-email verification. Submitting a listing alone does not establish ownership.
Your card uses your listing's name, logo and description. Check that the listing is accurate before buying. A paid placement does not approve pending listing edits or prevent a tool from being suspended or removed.
Manage advertising in your console
Expand Sponsored placements in the Console sidebar. Bookings contains your reservations and confirmed weeks. Select View to open a side panel with the placement's schedule, payment details, performance and available actions. Waitlist contains your entries and time-limited offers. Payments contains your orders and receipts.
Purchases remain with the account that paid. A later listing owner does not inherit another buyer's payment history, receipts or cancellation authority.
