Yandex Direct Shopping

We set up and manage product advertising in Yandex Direct: product campaigns and the product gallery with a photo/price based on a product feed (an analogue of Google Shopping, but in Yandex's ecosystem, available in the RF). Honestly and bluntly upfront: product advertising brings targeted traffic to products but does NOT guarantee sales/ROI — they depend on the price (visible immediately, very sensitive), competition, card/site quality, the assortment. A correct product feed is needed. Works while there is a budget; the auction/moderation decides. We honestly set up and manage, without promises of revenue.

Yandex Direct Shopping — overview

Yandex Direct Shopping — price, timeline & scope

Yandex Direct Shopping is product (e-commerce) advertising in Yandex Direct: product campaigns and the product gallery, where ads are shown with an image, price and product name based on product feed data. The work: checking/setting up the product feed, linking with Direct, setting up product campaigns, feed and bid optimization, management. Honestly about 'a correct product feed is needed', this is critical: product advertising depends entirely on feed quality (titles, images, prices, availability, categories); errors in the feed block or worsen impressions. Often the main work is the feed itself. Honestly about 'advertising ≠ a guarantee of sales/ROI': product ads bring targeted traffic to products, but sales and return depend on the price (in product results it is visible immediately and very sensitive), competition, card/site quality, the assortment and demand. Advertising increases the chances, does not guarantee revenue; 'guaranteed ROAS/ROI' = a lie. Honestly about 'works while there is a budget': stopping = stopping impressions. Honestly about 'the auction/moderation decides': the cost per impression is determined by the auction; the feed and ads go through Yandex moderation. Honestly about 'traffic ≠ sales': conversion depends on the card/price/site. Honestly about 'optimization is a process'. Honestly about transparency: the ad budget (paid to Yandex) ≠ commission. Honestly about the effect: it sets up product campaigns in Yandex Direct with feed work, bringing targeted traffic to products, but it is not a guarantee of sales/ROI; a correct feed is needed; works while there is a budget; the auction/moderation decides; traffic ≠ sales. Honestly about access: a product feed/catalog, a site with cards, a budget, Yandex access are needed. An important boundary: this is Yandex Direct product advertising; regular Yandex Direct (search/Display) — 437; Google Shopping — 451; Yandex.Market/marketplaces — 571; the feed/cards — 302/350. The base price starts from 25,000 ₽ for setup/management (the ad budget is separate).

FAQ

  • Is it enough to set up a campaign — the feed doesn't matter?

    No, honestly: product advertising depends entirely on product feed quality (titles, images, prices, availability, categories). Errors in the feed block or worsen impressions, and a weak feed drains the budget. Often the main work is the feed itself. We will honestly start with the feed and say if the problem is in it, not the campaign.

  • Do you guarantee sales/ROAS?

    No, honestly: product ads bring targeted traffic to products, but sales and return depend on the price (in product results it is visible immediately and very sensitive), competition, card/site quality and the assortment. Advertising increases the chances but does not guarantee revenue; 'guaranteed ROAS' is a deception. We honestly manage and optimize, without guarantees.

  • How is this different from regular Direct and from Market?

    Honestly: this is Yandex Direct product advertising (ads with a photo/price based on a feed). Regular Yandex Direct (search/Display) is 437; marketplaces/Yandex.Market as a sales channel — group 571. We will honestly advise which format is more appropriate for your task and will not sell product advertising where another channel would work better.
