Ad Campaigns (Ad Manager)
Overview
The Ad Manager allows vendors to promote their professional listings across Celavivo using paid advertising placements.
With ad campaigns, you can increase visibility for your listing on the homepage, search results, and sidebar.
Ads are billed based on impressions, and you control the budget, placement, and targeting.
Who this is for
- Vendors with at least one active listing
- Vendors who want increased exposure and more booking requests
Where to find it
From your Dashboard, click Ad Campaign in the left-hand menu.

- Listings must follow Celavivo’s content and quality guidelines
- Misleading or inappropriate listings may result in ad rejection
- Ad visibility depends on user activity and filters
Common questions & issues
“Why is my ad not showing?”
Possible reasons:
- Campaign has not started yet
- Budget has been exhausted
- Filters are too restrictive
- Listing is not active
“Can I pause or edit a campaign?”
Once submitted, campaigns run automatically until the budget ends.
To change strategy, create a new campaign with updated settings.
“Will ads guarantee bookings?”
Ads increase visibility, not guaranteed bookings.
Strong photos, clear pricing, and availability greatly improve results.
Good to know
