Sponsored Listings Campaigns

Sponsored Listings on Toppie enable agencies to promote specific products within search results and category pages across multiple retail partners from a single platform. This is the core advertising format that drives high-intent shoppers to your products at the point of purchase decision.

Unlike traditional search advertising, sponsored listings place your products directly within the retailer’s native shopping experience, ensuring maximum relevance and conversion potential.
