Sell faster with a promoted ad

Put your ad where buyers look first. Promotions start at LKR 100, run for a fixed number of days and never renew automatically.

Five ways to get noticed

Use one, or combine them. Each promotion is applied to one ad.

Top ad

Pinned above the results

Your ad is shown in the Top ad slots above the normal results in its category and in matching searches. Up to five Top ads rotate in these slots.

Best for: Busy areas such as Colombo and Gampaha, and popular types such as apartments and land.

Single ad: LKR 100–LKR 500 for 7 days

Bump up

Back near the top, the low-cost way

Your ad is moved back up the results, just below the Top ads, so it is seen again by buyers browsing the category.

Best for: Listings that have slipped down the results after a few days.

Single ad: LKR 100–LKR 500 for 7 days

Urgent

Tell buyers and tenants you want to move fast

An orange Urgent badge on your ad tells buyers you are ready to make a quick deal, which brings faster calls and messages.

Best for: Relocating, moving abroad, or a rental that must be let this month.

Single ad: LKR 100–LKR 500 for 7 days

Highlight

Stand out in the list

Your ad is shown with a coloured highlight in the results list, so it catches the eye as buyers scroll.

Best for: Pairing with Bump up or Top for maximum attention.

Single ad: LKR 100–LKR 500 for 7 days

Good to know

Do promotions guarantee a sale?
No. Promotions give your ad more visibility for a set time. A clear title, real photos and a fair price still matter most, so get those right first.

When does a promotion start and end?
It starts as soon as it is applied and ends automatically after the stated number of days. You are never charged again unless you buy another promotion.

Can I combine promotions?
Yes. Popular combinations are Featured + Urgent for a quick sale, and Top ad + Highlight in busy categories.

What if the item sells early?
Mark it sold or delete the ad. The promotion ends with the ad and the unused days are not refundable.

Can I get a refund?
A promotion that has started running is not refundable. If you were charged in error or it was never applied, see our Refund Policy.
