FAQ

Channel questions

Still curious? Ask us in chat or on a free consultation.

Who is Yandex Direct for?

Businesses whose audience searches in Russian and uses Yandex services. Before launch we check demand volume in Wordstat so you never spend blindly.

What is pay-per-conversion?

A bidding strategy where you pay for a goal — such as a lead — rather than a click. We switch it on once the campaign has enough data.

How do you handle junk network traffic?

Every week we export placements, exclude low-converting apps and sites, and maintain a shared block list across all your campaigns.

What is “ad cost share”?

The percentage of revenue spent on advertising. For online stores it is the key metric, and it is what we report on.

Do I need a Russian-language site?

Ideally, yes — a landing page in the language of the query lifts conversion noticeably. If you don’t have one, we can build a quick landing page.
