You can add advertising banners that appear on your website's search results pages whenever a website user triggers a property search.
You can use these advertising banners to promote your services and draw attention to key information for your applicants, and link to other pages of your website.
The first step is to input how often you want your advert to show, for example, showing the advert after every 6 property listings.
Go to Settings > Configuration
Go to Website > Property > Search
Go to the Results Banner Position field and enter the number where you want the advert to appear. Eg: if you want the advert to appear in the 6th position of each property, enter 6
If you are setting up multiple advertising banners, enter the position of each advert separated by a comma. Eg, If you had 4 adverts and you wanted them to be spaced evenly in the search results, you could enter 6,12,18,24. The first advert would then appear in the 6th position, the second advert in the 12th position, etc
You can add up to 4 different adverts that appear on your search results. To add these banners and customise the design/wording of them:
Go to Website > Items
Click Add Add a new item.
The Summary The item must have a specific name:
The first advert to display must be called results-banner-1
The second advert to display must be called results-banner-2
The third advert to display must be called results-banner-3
The fourth advert to display must be called results-banner-4
You don't have to add 4 adverts, if you only want one, two, or three different adverts, just add the appropriate items as above but the system allows up to 4 advert options
The Title field will output the main title of the advert. You can customise the look by using the options available in the wysiwyg editor
The Content field will put content within the advert underneath the title. You can customise the look by using the options available in the wysiwyg editor
The URL field will make the banner clickable. The URL you enter will be where the banner, when clicked, links to. To go to an external web page (NOT recommended) enter the full URL. To go to a page on the same website, you don’t need to enter the full URL. Just the element after the .com or .co.uk. Eg /meet-the-team
The Subheading field will create a button within the adverts itself. Whatever content is added to this field. Eg Click here will create a button with the text Click here within it
Media uploaded to the Media Section will be the background of the advert
Background colour field enables you to add a block colour to the background. Or, by using the transparency options in the colour picker, apply a colour overlay to an image you've uploaded
Click Save & Close
PLEASE NOTE: This feature is only available on the Atom website platform. If you are on an older website template, you will not be able to utilise this feature.
If you have added your search results adverts, but you can't see them displaying when you triggering a property search, please speak to your Account Manager so they can complete the setup for you.
