FAQs
No, your bid will be automatically placed across all 3 sites. We do not differentiate the budget share for each of the sites.
The CPC is charged on any click that directs users to your property page. For example, when a user clicks on your property card on the search page, or when a user opens the map and clicks on your property card (provided that the user does not adjust any settings and your property card still displays the Ad or Promoted badge).
No, you are not able to view the CPC bids of other competitors.
