No. Even with “Yellow Frame”, “Premium Top” or “Gallery”, an advert will not remain in first place for every search. Nevertheless, these packages offer clear added value: they give your offer additional opportunities to be noticed sooner, recognised more easily or discovered elsewhere.
The effect depends on the objective you are pursuing. Rather than judging every package solely by whether it secures first place, it is worth looking at their different strengths. This allows you to choose exactly the type of attention that suits your advert.
Three packages, three ways to attract more attention
Each promotion service supports a different stage on the journey from the first glance to the advert being opened.
- The “Yellow Frame” makes your advert card stand out visually from other offers.
- “Premium Top” supports a particularly prominent presentation in the designated areas.
- The “Gallery” also shows your advert in an attractive rotation on the homepage.
All three services can attract attention without promising a fixed position for every search query.
Why search results remain variable
Users search with different terms, locations and filters. The advert type, category, search area, sorting, relevance and currently available offers also influence the order.
This means an advert may appear very high for one relevant search and later in the results for another. The promotion service works within its intended framework, but it does not override the user's choices.

What “Premium Top” can do for you
“Premium Top” is suitable if you want to give your advert a stronger visibility boost within relevant results. This is particularly useful if many new offers appear in your category or your offer needs attention right now.
- limited-time offers
- events taking place soon
- services in high-demand sectors
- attractive items in busy categories
- adverts that are fully prepared and available immediately
The advantage lies in the increased visibility and, consequently, greater chances of attracting relevant clicks and enquiries.
Why the “Yellow Frame” is still valuable
Many people initially only skim a results list. A clear yellow border can draw attention to your advert and make your main image stand out more effectively.
This visual effect is valuable regardless of whether the advert card is exactly in first place. What matters is that your offer stands out more quickly among similar entries and is more likely to be opened.
The “Gallery” creates an additional touchpoint
The “Gallery” extends the presentation beyond the conventional results list. Your advert can appear in a rotation on the homepage and reach people who are browsing or looking for inspiration.
A strong image is especially worthwhile here. The “Gallery” does not guarantee continuous display, but it creates an additional place where your offer can be discovered.
Choose by objective rather than ranking
Before booking, ask yourself what specifically you’d like to improve.
- More presence within relevant search results: “Premium Top”
- More visual attention in the results list: “Yellow Frame”
- Additional discovery on the homepage: “Gallery”
- Multiple objectives simultaneously: combine suitable packages
The article How do multiple promotion service packages work simultaneously? explains how combinations work.
The foundation remains a compelling advert
Advertising brings people to the offer. Whether they stay and send a message depends on the content.
- Use a clear title.
- Choose a bright, credible main image.
- Describe the benefits, condition and key details clearly.
- Keep the price or reward up to date.
- Explain collection, shipping, the date or the service area.
- Respond promptly and politely.

How to get more out of your booking
- Choose a time period with realistic demand.
- Do not book until the advert is complete.
- Ensure the offer remains available throughout the duration.
- After purchasing, check that the service is assigned to the correct advert and that the duration is correct.
- Monitor views, favourites and, above all, relevant messages.

Promotion service packages do not promise a permanent first place. They offer something at least as important for successful adverts: additional attention in the right places. Choose the package according to your objective, present your offer convincingly and use its duration at a time when you are available and ready to deliver.
