@yigit - Hi Yigit! Thanks! See the following link for integration process details and developer libraries. https://www.promoted.ai/developers Here's a summary of the technical parts of our integration process. We usually start with a light weight integration. - Add Promoted's library to your server's API call where you'd want us to reorder items. - Add Promoted's impression and action tracking libraries to your web and mobile interfaces. We usually go through stages of (1) logging mode, (2) shadow traffic, (3) experiments and then (4) full launch. We're happy to answer more questions.

Hi, I’m Andrew, and my co-founder and CTO is Dan. We met at Pinterest ads engineering. Before, we built ads at Facebook and Google respectively. We use self-service performance ad tech to optimize marketplace search. Basically, we deliver every listing as if they were ads, even though they may not be. This works really well. It can increase conversions and seller retention by up to 25%. 🚀 We work by providing all the hard data engineering around mobile formats, logging, attributing, joining, and aggregating data and feeding this into a full ML ranker. This is like personalized search, but real-time reactive, so it works on new and anonymous users, like on TikTok. We don't aggregate user data across apps because we don't need it. We happily work with any other ML systems by including them as features in our models, so we outperform any baseline. 🍰 Our mission is to match every buyer with every seller across every app. While we currently focus on internal marketplace optimization, our target market is new user acquisition which is today dominated by Facebook and Google. 🌎 We'd love feedback! Ask us anything in the comments or email me at ayates@promoted.ai

I was curious on the extent of the marketplaces you have, do you consider international marketplaces? or do you only consider more mainstream marketplaces?

I might not be the targeted customer, but while reading the landing page I got confused. I thought I understand what you do, then down the page it got less and less understandable. You should be able to explain what it does in a sentences. Your first sentence is "grow fast", quite confusing.

@konrad_bujak Thanks for the feedback. I changed to "Sort search and promote the best at the top. See how we increase total sales for top marketplaces:" Our target customers are large, top, and growing marketplaces. Companies that are hiring a Discovery and/or Ads team and have a $100M budget for this, and marketplaces that will grow into this.

Excited to see this product out there! This is a huge pain point for platforms looking to monetize and getting the wisdom of some of the best ads engineers out there is the best choice you can make. Finally, your startup can focus on its core competencies, and not spin up an entire Ads Eng org. Awesome.
