Sponsored Products
Published Apr 25, 2025


Sponsored Products are native product ads, bought on a cost-per-click basis that seamlessly integrate products into high-visibility locations—like search banners, suggested search boxes, in-list search results and more, across BestBuy.com and the Best Buy app. This leads to increased exposure, incremental sales and high return-on-ad-spend (ROAS).

Utilizing My Ads, our Best Buy Ads self-service campaign management and reporting platform, our partners can set up, optimize and pull real-time reporting for sponsored product campaigns.

Why Sponsored Products?

Reach Shoppers: Reach high-intent shoppers ready to purchase on site with real-time targeting. Choose which products to promote to target active shoppers. 

Drive Traffic: Dramatically increase traffic to your product detail pages. Elevating your product on the product listing page moves shoppers down the purchase funnel. 

Attribute Sales: See direct sales impact on advertising dollars with product-level attribution, giving you full confidence in your marketing spend.

Maximize Reach and Brand Impact.

Brand Presence: Ideal for dominating brand presence online across relevant categories.

Target Core In-Market Shoppers: Always be in front of your customers, keeping your brand or products in prime real estate to maintain active consideration.

Increase Sales: Take over the key placements where brand competitors would have otherwise appeared.

Heavy Up During Key Periods: Drive more sales during new product launches or promotional periods, holidays or seasonal moments.

How the Technology Works

Relevancy Rules: Best Buy Ads will ensure that the products shown on the page are contextually relevant based on your taxonomy and browsing behavior.

Keyword Model: Best Buy Ads predicts the conversion probability for the search keyword to choose the best product to display.

Automatic Bidding: Best Buy Ads will then optimize bids based on intent signals to ensure shoppers are shown the product that is most likely to result in engagement.

What You Don’t Need to Worry About

Building Creative: No creative is required because ads should look native, like existing product tiles.

Ad Placement Selection: Ads will render on all eligible placements, but campaign optimizations can boost bids across available placements.

Keywords: Best Buy Ads has a self-learning keyword algorithm that will collect and use highly relevant keywords for all advertised SKUs automatically. If needed, you can also manually add keywords.
