Ads on the local sites your customers already read.

TheAd Vantage is a self-serve ad network for local websites. Advertisers buy impressions by CPM. Publishers add one script tag and earn a share of every paid impression.

  1. 1

    A local site adds one script tag

    The publisher pastes a slot and a script tag into their page. That's the whole install.

  2. 2

    You book the slot at the site's CPM

    Pick the sites your customers read, upload a creative, and set how many impressions you want.

  3. 3

    You pay for ads people actually saw

    An impression counts once half the ad is on screen. The campaign stops when it reaches your target.

For advertisers

  • Choose the sites. Browse the platforms on the network and see each one's CPM before you book.
  • Set an impression target. Your campaign serves until it reaches the number you bought, then stops.
  • Pay for viewed ads. Impressions count only when at least half of the ad is visible.
  • Pause any time. Edit, pause or resume campaigns from your dashboard.

For publishers

  • Set your own CPM. You list the price per 1,000 impressions for your site.
  • Keep 70% by default. Your site earns 70% of the CPM on every payable impression.
  • One script tag. No SDK or build step. React sites can use the component library instead.
  • No empty boxes. When no campaign is booked, the slot shows a TheAd Vantage house ad, never billed.

Four standard sizes

Every slot on the network is one of these, so one creative works on every site that offers its size.
