Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about promoting your listing on DropDesk

How much does it cost to advertise on DropDesk?
Promoted listings are flexible — you control your budget and targeting. Contact our team for current pricing and to set up a promotion that fits your space.
Can I promote a service or activity, not just a space?
Yes. DropDesk promotion works across all three listing types — Spaces (workspaces, venues, studios), Services (e.g. wellness, beauty, fitness, professional services), and Activities (workshops, classes, events, experiences). You can boost any one of them, or all three.
How do promoted listings work?
When a customer searches for a space, service, or activity that matches your listing's location, category, and price range, your promoted listing appears at the top of the relevant results — ahead of standard listings — so high-intent customers see you first.
Who sees my promoted listing?
Local users actively searching DropDesk for spaces, services, and activities in your area: professionals, event planners, and locals ready to book. You target by location, listing type, category, and price range.
Can I track the results of my promotion?
Yes. Every promoted listing includes a dashboard tracking impressions, clicks, and conversions, so you can see exactly what your spend delivers and adjust your targeting.
Do I need a promoted listing to get bookings on DropDesk?
No — listing on DropDesk is free, and any well-optimized listing can receive bookings. Promoted listings simply boost your visibility in competitive areas and categories to win more of the high-intent demand.
What makes a promoted listing perform well?
Promotion amplifies whatever's already there, so start with a strong profile: clear photos, complete details, accurate keywords/tags, and fast inquiry response times. Then promote to put that profile in front of more of the right customers.
