Ways to reach our audience

  • Featured Listing

    Your business pinned at the top of its category-city page with a Featured ribbon. Same data, different position. Editorial integrity preserved — we don't reorder the ranking, we just elevate above it.

    Best for: hotels, hospitals, law firms, real estate agencies, fertility clinics, schools

  • Sponsored Category

    From ₦200,000 / month

    Sponsor a whole category in a city — e.g. 'Loan Apps in Lagos sponsored by FairMoney'. A clearly-labelled brand strip below the trust ribbon, plus your logo in the footer of every page in that category.

What we won’t do

No pay-to-win

We will never sell ranking positions. Ever. A featured-listing pin is visually distinct and labelled; it doesn't change the underlying ranking algorithm. This is the line we don't cross — read our /how-we-rank methodology if you want to verify.

Ads we'd click ourselves

We don't accept ads for unregulated loan apps, MLMs, get-rich schemes, or any business currently on a Nigerian regulator's blacklist (FCCPC, CBN, NAICOM). We've banned 45+ apps from our own /apps directory; we're not going to take their money on a banner either.

Transparent attribution

Every paid placement carries a clear visual marker ('Featured', 'Sponsored', 'Partner'). No native ads dressed as editorial. No surprise affiliate links inside listings.

All advertising contracts and invoices on Ranked are issued by Ranked Technologies Ltd, a company incorporated in the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Featured placements appear with a visible “Sponsored” label and never alter the algorithmic rank order. See our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy for the full commercial framework.
