Comparing the types in your account
The window where you promote a listing has the same comparison.
Click Compare promotion types to open it.
Homepage Sponsored places are limited
Only a small number of listings can be sponsored on the home page at the same time.
For the whole website: 10 places.
For each agency or Property Owner: up to 4 places at once.
The promotion window shows how many places are free (for example 6/10 slots) and how many you are using (Your usage: 1/4).
If every place is taken, the window shows the date the next one becomes free. If you have used all of yours, wait for one to end or cancel one.
One promotion per listing
A listing can have only one promotion at a time. While one is running you can:
extend it (Boost Ad and Featured Ad only);
upgrade it to a higher type;
cancel it.
You can't move down to a lower type while a promotion is running.
What visitors see
A promoted listing carries a small label on its photo: Boosted, Featured or Sponsored. Once a listing is marked Sold or Rented, that label is shown instead.
Which listings can be promoted
A listing can be promoted only when it is Verified and on the website. See Promoting a Listing.
