An ad for every thing you sell

You've already put the work into your website: a page for everything you sell, built so people can find it. We turn that work into ads. We pick the best picture, write the headline, and build each ad for every kind of screen, from a roadside billboard to an office lobby. Each one carries a response URL back to your site.

Where you show up

We make your plan from what we learn about your business: a trade area ten miles around each place you do business, and the screens inside it that people pass every day, on the roads they drive and in the places they stop.

We plan from over 700,000 screens across the country, and every trade area has its own mix.

Choosing them is our job, every month.

Closing the loop

Every ad carries a response URL, a short web address on your own domain, like go.yourdomain.com/claire. Someone who sees it types it in and lands right on what they saw. Every visit passes through us on the way, so each one is counted.

It keeps up on its own

Once you subscribe, every new thing you list gets its own ad, automatically. Approve it, and it runs across your trade area. When it sells or you stop offering it, the ad comes down. Your dashboard shows every play and every response.

FAQ

What website should I enter?

Your main site, or the part of it you want to promote, like one agent’s page or one location’s section. We read what’s there and make an ad for each thing it sells.

Can the response URL use my own domain?

Yes, and we recommend it. Every ad carries a response URL: a short web address that goes straight to what the ad showed, like go.yourdomain.com/keyword. Whoever runs your website adds one record, and we do the rest. Until it’s set up, your ads print dropsignal.co instead, so nothing waits on it.

Does every page become an ad?

Only the things you sell. If something has its own page and it’s for sale, a car, a listing, a date, an opening, it gets its own ad. Pages that aren’t selling anything, like your About page, don’t.

What if I don’t like the ads?

Nothing runs until you approve it. You can change the words or the photo, and a change to the design carries to every ad built from it.

Can I take something out?

Yes. Anything you’d rather not advertise comes out from your dashboard and stops running: the car that’s already spoken for, the date that sold out. It stays out until you put it back.

What is a trade area?

Ten miles around each place you do business, shown on a map in your preview. Add another address and it gets a trade area of its own.

Where do you cover?

Over 700,000 screens across 50 states, from big-city billboards to the gas station at the edge of town. Enter your website and your plan shows what’s inside your trade area. If it’s thin where you are, the preview shows that too.

What do you count when someone visits?

Each visit, by the trade area and the day that brought it. We record when it happened with a scrambled visitor ID, never a name, and nobody has to give us anything. They land on your own page, so they show up in your own analytics too.

How is it priced?

Per trade area, per month, at one of three delivery levels. The level sets how many impressions we deliver each month and how many of your ads run at a time. Month to month, cancel anytime.

What if I have more items than my level runs?

Every item gets an ad. Your level sets how many are on screens at once, in the order you choose: highest price, newest, or longest on the market. When one sells, the next takes its slot.

When am I charged?

You add a card or bank account when you schedule your launch. Nothing is charged until that day; your first month starts then, and monthly after that until you cancel.

Should I stop my online ads?

No. Your online advertising works; keep it. This is the offline half: the people who aren’t searching for you yet.

What results should I expect?

Presence is delivered: your ads on real screens, with the impressions your level promises, and every play logged. Visits are measured: every ad invites one, and what comes back is on your dashboard. Give it three months before you judge it.
