Sponsored Listing campaigns are best viewed as short-term boosts on top of other marketing solutions you may already have active. In that sense, your property may benefit from enhanced performance when bundled with Agoda Growth Program (AGP), Agoda Growth Express (AGX), or Agoda Intelligence (AI). 

• Agoda Growth Program
  Agoda Growth Program is a comprehensive, multi-channel marketing solution. As Agoda Growth Program has a more broad-based and general marketing reach, it can be strategically beneficial to stack Sponsored Listing campaigns at specific times to enhance the benefits of both marketing solutions. However, long-term participation is recommended for Agoda Growth Program in order to maximize the gains in impressions, revenue, and room night growth.
  Through Agoda Growth Program, you will be awarded with a Preferred Partner badge, visible on your property listing on both the Search Results page and Property Page. If you also have an active Sponsored Listing campaign, the Preferred Property badge will be included in the Top 3 or Top 15 placement that you select, further signifying your property’s credibility and trustworthiness. 
• Agoda Growth Express
  Agoda Growth Express focuses on a targeted marketing approach, allowing campaigns to be customized based on parameters such as travel dates or customer origin. This flexibility ensures that your marketing reaches the right customers at the right time. Additionally, Agoda Growth Express is commitment-free, enabling you to edit or stop campaigns as needed in response to market changes or unexpected situations.
  Sponsored Listing campaigns complement Agoda Growth Express by providing a guaranteed search ranking for city and/or area search terms, securing top placement in search results. Combining these two marketing solutions enhances your property’s exposure, maximizing visibility and potential bookings through a dual approach. 
• Agoda Intelligence
  One of the primary benefits of our Agoda Intelligence program is a commission reduction. As Sponsored Listing is paid by an increase in commission (if the pay per booking payment method is selected), the Agoda Intelligence program essentially provides a discount on Sponsored Listing campaigns through its offering of a reduced commission amount. Bundling Sponsored Listing + Agoda Intelligence allows you to offset your incremental costs while still benefiting from targeted marketing solutions. Furthermore, Agoda Intelligence tools can provide valuable, data-driven insights into customer behavior and market trends, helping you to better optimize your Sponsored Listing campaign slot and details for improved performance.
  Agoda Intelligence also offers automated rate optimization and advanced rate management tools to strengthen your pricing strategy. By automatically adjusting rates to match or beat your competitors, Agoda Intelligence ensures that your best possible rates are always displayed to potential customers. With Sponsored Listing providing increased visibility and Agoda Intelligence ensuring optimized rates, your impressions and engagement will lead to higher conversion rates and revenue. Note that Agoda Intelligence rate adjustments are fully transparent and can be disputed if deemed necessary. 

Once created, Sponsored Listing campaigns are generally non-refundable or supported for deactivation. However, if there are outstanding circumstances that make it necessary to deactivate your Sponsored Listing campaign, please contact us directly via the YCS Need Help Button or other methods to request for deactivation. Requests will be considered on a case-by-case basis. 

If your Sponsored Listing has the option for automatic renewal activated, note that you can cancel the renewal any time before the campaign ends. Navigate to YCS >> Campaigns, then click on the row that shows the Sponsored Listing campaign for which you would like to cancel automatic renewal. Under Advanced options find the option for Automatically renew this campaign when it ends, then click the toggle to turn this option off. 

Agoda cannot manage Sponsored Listing campaigns on your behalf. To ensure continued success throughout your campaign, we recommend monitoring the performance through YCS on a regular basis. If there are any issues with your Sponsored Listing campaign, please contact us via the YCS Need Help Button or other methods. 

If there is an issue with your Sponsored Listing campaign, please contact us via the YCS Need Help Button or other methods. 

All bookings with a check-in date that falls within your Sponsored Listing campaign slot and matches the relevant search criteria will be considered as having been generated by the campaign. For a total number of bookings generated by the campaign, navigate to YCS >> Campaigns, then click on the row that shows the Sponsored Listing campaign for which you would like to view the bookings count. On the performance dashboard, in the third and fourth rows, you will see the total number of Room nights and Bookings attributed to this specific campaign. 

Your Sponsored Listing campaign will automatically be named with the search term that you select (city and/or area). When viewing your Sponsored Listing campaigns on the Campaigns page, note that you can determine the specific campaign by the details shown under the campaign name, including the campaign dates and cost per booking (or total cost). At this time, we do not offer the ability to customize campaign names. 

No, your payment method cannot be changed after you have created your Sponsored Listing campaign. For related inquiries, please contact us via the YCS Need Help Button or other methods. 

Once a Sponsored Listing campaign has been created, it cannot be edited or changed through YCS, regardless of whether the campaign has started yet or not. If you need to make changes to your campaign, please note that the only adjustments that can be made are to the campaign’s check-in dates. To do so, please contact us directly via the YCS Need Help Button or other methods. 

Sponsored Listing helps to enhance the effectiveness of your other active promotions by ensuring that customers see the discounts being offered if their search has overlapping criteria. 

Growth programs, including Sponsored Listing, are considered as marketing solutions. 

Promotions, including Essential, Seasonal, and Targeted, are considered as customer discounts. 

Activating promotions that are relevant to your property’s business needs will further complement your participation in Sponsored Listing as your best prices will be presented in accordance with your campaign’s targeting parameters. The increased visibility offered through Sponsored Listing then improves your opportunities for conversion, as a higher percentage of customers book your property.
