Strong images spark interest even before a user looks for individual details. With the ‘Gallery’ promotion service, your advert can also be presented in the gallery on the suchen.expert homepage. This gives your offer another opportunity to attract attention - even outside a specific search results list.
The Gallery is particularly suitable for adverts whose benefits or distinctive features are already visible in a good image. An attractive product, an interesting service or an event can spark curiosity as soon as someone visits the homepage.
What does the Gallery offer?
During the booked period, your advert will be featured in the gallery on the homepage. There, it will appear alongside other booked gallery adverts on a rotating basis.
This additional exposure can help to:
- generate more attention for your advert
- present a strong main image to best effect
- draw users’ attention to your offer directly on the homepage
- reach new prospective customers outside a direct search
- highlight limited-time or special offers
The Gallery does not replace your regular advert page. Users still reach the complete advert, with its description, images and further details, through the Gallery display.
Which adverts is it particularly suitable for?
The promotion service can be useful for many advert types. It is particularly effective when an image quickly conveys the value or idea of the offer.
These include, for example:
- visually appealing items
- vehicles, furniture or unique one-off items
- craft-based, creative or personal services
- events with a suitable image
- seasonal offers
- wanted adverts with an easy-to-understand image
Even a simple advert can work well if the main image is clear, bright and credible. It is crucial that users recognise immediately what the advert is about.
The right main image makes all the difference
In the gallery, the image is the first point of contact with your advert. You should therefore choose an image that remains clear even when displayed at a smaller size.
Please note:
- The most important item should be clearly visible.
- The image should be sharp and well-lit.
- The background should not distract from the item on offer.
- The content shown should genuinely belong to the advert.
- Any text superimposed on the image should be brief and easy to read.
- Personal details, number plates or documents should not be visible unnecessarily.
- The image should not create false expectations.
A good image encourages users to open the advert. The title, description, price or reward should then deliver what the image promises.
How to prepare your advert
Before booking, check not only the main image, but also the title, description, price or reward, location, availability and current dates. The clearer the detail page is, the easier it is for prospective customers to make a decision.
The Gallery draws additional attention to your advert. Make the most of this opportunity by providing complete details and responding to messages as promptly as possible during the promotion period.
Which duration suits your objective?
Depending on the selection on offer, durations of between 7 and 14 days are currently available. The specific duration and price will be displayed immediately before you make your purchase.
A shorter duration may be well suited to an upcoming event, a promotion or an offer that is available at short notice. A longer duration may be useful if you want your offer to reach different visitors to the homepage over several days.
For an advert that is already active, the booked duration generally begins immediately after successful payment. You should therefore choose a period during which the offer is available and you can reply to incoming messages.
How to book Gallery
If the promotion service is offered during the creation process, you can select it in step 5 when creating the advert.
For an active advert:
- Open My Adverts.
- Go to the ‘Active’ section.
- Find the advert you want.
- Click ‘Boost’.
- Select ‘Gallery’ and the desired duration.
- Check the advert, price and payment details, then complete the booking.
A detailed description is available under How can I purchase a promotion service for my advert?
How does the rotation work?
If several adverts use the Gallery, they are displayed in rotation. This allows different offers to be presented on the homepage.
This means:
- Your advert does not have to be immediately visible every time the page is viewed.
- Its position within the gallery may change.
- Other booked gallery adverts are also displayed.
- We cannot guarantee uninterrupted display or a fixed position.
The benefit comes from your advert’s additional inclusion in this highly visible display area. This does not guarantee a particular number of impressions, views or messages.
Combine different strengths
The Gallery can be combined with ‘Premium Top’ and ‘Yellow Frame’ if these options are available for your advert.
- ‘Gallery’ also presents your advert on the homepage.
- ‘Premium Top’ supports a particularly prominent presentation in the designated areas.
- ‘Yellow Frame’ visually highlights the advert card.

After purchase
Check under ‘My Adverts’ whether the Gallery has been activated for the correct advert and what duration is displayed. Because the display rotates, your advert does not have to appear immediately every time the homepage is viewed.
Further guidance on checking this is available under How do I check whether a promotion service has been activated for my advert?
If you deactivate the advert, it will no longer be publicly visible. The booked duration is not paused and continues to run. You should therefore plan any deactivation carefully.
With a strong main image and a compelling advert, the Gallery becomes an attractive additional display area. It helps you attract attention on the homepage and make more users curious about your complete offer.
