Your bid is your position
Eligible advertisers rank by their bid per click, highest first. Nothing else to optimize, nobody to negotiate with.
Example bids. The top 3 serve; everyone under the line waits for a better bid. Your dashboard draws this same picture for your bid, live, before you spend anything.
How it works
Four steps, no sales call
The whole program is self-serve: you control the copy, the bid, the placements and the budget.
- 1
Claim or create your listing - free
If we already list your business, claim it; if not, create it. Claiming costs nothing and the listing is permanent: no renewals, no card.
- 2
Prove it is yours, the easy way
Sign up with an email at your company's domain and you are done on the spot. Otherwise pick whichever is easiest: a link sent to the email on your listing, a small tag on your website, a photo of your business licence, or a DNS record for whoever manages your domain.

Set your bid and your reach
Choose what a click is worth to you (from $0.50) and watch the position preview move as you type. Pick sections, or leave placement on Auto. Exclude countries you don't serve.
- 4
Fund it and go live
Add prepaid balance (from $50) by card through Stripe. Every click is billed at your bid and logged with its page, country and device. Optional auto-refill keeps it topped up.
Where we draw the line
Israel.com does not sell editorial coverage. Sponsorship buys clearly-labelled placement beside the content - never a mention inside an article, a ranking in a guide, or a review. Every profile edit is reviewed before it appears, clicks from bots and repeat visitors are not billed, and you can see every click you paid for, with its page, country and device, in your dashboard.
Frequently asked questions
What does the listing cost?+
Nothing. Claiming gives you a permanent listing in the Israel.com business directory at your own URL, control over how it reads, and analytics on who is viewing it. It never expires and there is nothing recurring to cancel.
What is the Verified badge?+
A checkmark beside your name on your listing and in every directory list, showing readers the business itself stands behind the page. It costs $49 once (₪99 when you buy from Israel) and comes with $100 of ad credit, so it pays for itself the moment you run a placement. Optional; you can claim and advertise without it.
How is my position decided?+
By bid. The advertisers eligible for a section are ranked by their maximum cost-per-click, highest first. Your dashboard shows the position your current bid buys before you spend anything.
What am I charged for a click?+
Your own maximum bid, only for genuine clicks. Bot traffic and repeat clicks from the same visitor within 24 hours are recorded but free. Clicks land on your site with UTM parameters so you can verify everything in your own analytics.
What happens when my balance runs out?+
Your placements simply stop serving until you top up - you are never billed beyond what you prefunded. Optional auto-refill adds your chosen amount when the balance falls below $100 (you can change the threshold).
Can I exclude countries?+
Yes. Readers in countries on your exclusion list never see your placements, and are never billed to you.
Ready when you are
Listing takes about five minutes. Your card is only charged when you choose to claim.
