Benefits of In-Search Ads
In-Search Ads brings with it a host of benefits for your brand. Using In-Search Ads, you can:
- Maximise the visibility of your brand and services as the ad is positioned on the most visited page of the Zoopla website (on average, the Zoopla Listings Search Results Page is viewed 120M+ times each month). There are 5 slots available per page and this increased amount of creative space means there's plenty of opportunities for your ad to be showcased
- Be seen by a highly attentive audience and promote yourselves with greater targeting capabilities
- Save money as the engaging adverts are built in-house and managed by Zoopla, meaning no additional cost to you. It also brings a level of consistency as by using our template, the ads match the look and feel of a listing on the Zoopla website, bringing higher user engagement thanks to a less disruptive ad experience
Best practice
Once you've decided on your ad campaign objectives, think about the core area where your target buyers come from and use In-Search Ads to target areas relevant to your campaign

Ad assets
In order for us to build your adverts to your requirements and get them online quickly, we require certain creative assets to be submitted. These include:
- Property-based image (with no text) (430px x 310px) (300kb max)

Best practice
- Use a high quality, eye catching property-based image that is relevant to your text and call-to-action. We've seen that images of the kitchen receive a higher number of search clicks
- Add a catchy headline and an engaging call-to-action that is relevant to the ad text. Consider the language you use such as the use of action verbs and think about what you can offer property seekers (i.e. a free booklet, or services such as an instant valuation)
- Stand out by using the description and features to differentiate yourself from other agencies by highlighting what makes you unique and showcasing any branch statistics
