Hello @Bill13

I’m pleased to inform you that your ads -

- East London: Quiet & Clean 2-Bed – $1,460.03 – Middle Floor (# 1744062346 ) - is active .

You can find your ad here:

- [East London: Quiet & Clean 2-Bed – $1,460.03 – Middle Floor | Long Term Rentals | London | Free local classifieds - Kijiji](https://www.kijiji.ca/v-view-details.html?adId=1744062346)

However, I understand how frustrating it can be when you can’t find your own listings. Let me assure you that we’re here to help make your experience as smooth as possible.

To address your concerns, I’ve prepared some helpful tips to make finding your ads easier and to improve their visibility in searches

Regarding search visibility, there are typically five main factors that can affect an ad’s appearance in search results:

1. The search terms don’t match the ad content
2. The ad location is outside the set search radius
3. The ad is in a different category or listed as “Wanted” instead of “Offered”
4. You are using Slashes (/) in your title - anything after a slash is not looked at by our search engine
5. There are spelling mistakes in your ad or search tags.

Here is a sample ad:

- Title: East London: Quiet & Clean 2-Bed – $1,460.03 – Middle Floor
- Location: London
- Category: Real Estate \> For Rent \> Long Term Rentals
- Address: London, ON N5W 0A6
- Key Words: [Quiet adult 2 bedroom London] 

To improve your ad’s searchability, try these steps:

1. Search your exact ad title with a large radius (100km or all of Canada)
2. Adjust your search parameters:  
a. Modify the search radius  
b. Remove words from the title and search again  
c. Try searching with terms potential buyers might use
3. Make your key words count:  
a. Use single word key words for example - [bathroom renovation] - will not match  
Bath, Room, Renovation, etc. etc.

- [bath] [room] [reno] will match bathroom, bedroom, renovation,  
renovtion, etc etc.  
b. Do not use the Tab, Enter, or Space keys when entering or moving between words  
They include hidden characters that change the meaning of your words.  
c. Be careful of your spelling - you may want to use common mispellings or you may  
want exact spelling. Example - “N-Scale” is one word and “N Scale” is two words.  
d. Do not use words that are already in your ad - it is duplication that will  
reduce the number of searches your ad will match.

1. Avoid using the following characters:  
a) slash(/) or  
b) Parenthesis () or  
c) Colon (🙂  
in your title or ad copy as they block our search engine from looking past them.
2. Double check all of your spelling - Words must match exactly or they will not be found.  
This could mean you want to use a misspelled word if that is how most people use it.
3. Make sure the words you want to search actually are in your ad.

If your ad doesn’t appear in results when you want it to, consider editing it to include relevant keywords.

- Radial search: [Radial Search - How Search Works on Kijiji - How-To Guides & Tutorials - Community Connect](https://help.kijiji.ca/helpdesk/basics/radial-search)

Remember, combining searchability with promotional features can significantly increase your ad’s visibility and views.

One last thing I can recommend is to run your ad through Chat GPT and ask it for suggestions on how to make it more effective.

I have purchased pump up a while ago and another feature before messaging you today. I hope I don’t get hit with another charge for changing my ad. To meet these requirements
