Ad policy
What can run in a featured or sponsored row.
Who can advertise
Ads are available only to verified listing owners. You must have claimed your listing on Outside Index, the claim must be verified (by a confirm link to an email at your shop's domain, or by a person checking it), and you must be signed in with that email when you book. You can only advertise your own listing. We do not sell ad space to other businesses, agencies or resellers.
The basics
- Text only: your shop's name as listed, one line and one https link.
- The link must go to your own shop's website, the same site as your listing.
- Every ad is marked as paid.
- Ads must be about gear you make, or your own shop's news, repairs or events.
Not allowed
- Gambling, betting or lotteries.
- Investments, crypto, loans or other financial offers.
- Weapons, tobacco, vaping, cannabis or alcohol.
- Counterfeit or copied gear, or anything illegal in Canada or the USA.
- Misleading claims, fake reviews or prices that are not real.
- Links that do not work, redirect elsewhere, or install software.
Review
A person reviews each ad before it runs and after any edit. We may ask you to change it or decline it. Declined ads are refunded in full.
Running and ending
Ads go live on the Monday you pick (Vancouver time) and end on their own after the weeks you booked. You can see views and clicks in your ad dashboard.
