Upgrade your Service listing

 

Want more people to see your Service listing? Upgrades can give it extra visibility on KSL Classifieds. Your available options depend on the category where your listing is posted.

Upgrade options

Upgrades are separate from your Service listing fee.

Listings in the Services category

Account Executive Required:
If your listing is in the Services category, a KSL account executive handles upgrades. You can’t buy them through My Listings. Visit the KSL advertising page to connect with an account executive and review your options.

Listings outside the Services category

If your Service listing is in a different category, you can buy upgrades yourself from My Listings. You’ll see the price for each upgrade in the Shopping Cart before you pay.

Featured Day
Rotates your listing into Featured placements in applicable search results.
Boost
Moves your listing back toward the top of search results, as if it were newly posted.

A Featured Listing gives your listing extra exposure by placing it in Featured spots alongside other Featured Listings. These spots rotate, so your listing won’t stay in a fixed position and may appear in a different spot each time someone searches.

When your Featured Listing runs

Today: Your Featured Listing starts when you buy it and runs for the rest of the day. The price is the same no matter what time you buy it.
A future date: Your Featured Listing runs from 12:00 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. on that day.

Where Featured Listings appear

On KSL.com
  • The top four spots in search results rotate among Featured Listings.
  • Four more Featured spots appear after each ad break. The first ad break comes after 12 listings, then another appears every 24 listings.
In the KSL Classifieds app
  • The top four spots in search results rotate among Featured Listings.
  • Four more Featured spots appear every 10 listings.
Tip: Featured Listings do not show a timestamp. 

Boost

A Boost moves your listing back to the top of search results, as if you’d just posted it. As other sellers post new listings, your listing gradually moves down the page again.

What a Boost changes

Good to know: A Boost updates the time your listing shows in search results. It does not renew your listing or change its expiration date.

If your Service listing is outside the Services category, you’ll still need to renew it and pay for it each month. Some subcategories have renewal fees or limits on how many times you can renew. Boosts do not count toward those limits.

When your Boost takes effect

KSL processes Boosts every day between 7:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. When your listing moves up depends on how many other listings are being boosted at the same time.

Note: Your listing may not move to the top as soon as you check out, but it should move up during that window on the day you choose.

Scheduling a Boost

You can Boost your listing today or schedule a Boost for a future date.

Boost timing: You can Boost a listing once every three days. When you pick a Boost date on the calendar, the two days before it and the two days after it become unavailable.

Finding your listing in search

To see your upgrade working, search for your listing the way a buyer would. My Listings does not show where your listing appears in search results.

Tip: Where your listing appears can depend on how many listings match the search, how many other Featured Listings are competing for the same spots, and how many people are running similar searches. If you have trouble finding it, narrow your search with a keyword, price, or location filter.
