HELPFUL TIPS that may improve your Ad and the response to your Ad:
(1) Well-written, DETAILED INFORMATION about your pet. You can enter up to 1200 characters in the Ad text so put in as much detail as possible. This large text area offers you an excellent opportunity to mention all the great points about your pet. If you don't put much here then visitors may quickly skip over your Ad to read the Ads that offer more pertinent information. Include the age, coloring, temperament, and special things about your pet such as registrations, vaccinations, your willingness to ship your pet, and what type of payment you will accept.
(2) Nice PICTURES of your pet. You can upload 4 pictures of your pet with each Ad. If you are placing a "Want Ad", it helps to upload a picture of a pet that you are interested in finding.
(3) The CAPTION should clearly describe something interesting about your pet.
(4) PRICE can also be a significant factor in determining response. A blank price will cause many potential buyers to skip over your Ad and look instead for other Ads that list the price. Therefore, it is important to post a price in the "price window" and to make it as reasonable as possible.
(5) CORRECT LOCATION. Make sure the City, State, and Country are entered correctly in your profile since this information will appear in your Ad. These are critical search criteria when someone is looking for a pet. If you have the incorrect information here, then your Ad may not be seen by those in your immediate vicinity.
(6) Consider your COMPETITION. For instance, if you are selling golden retrievers in Texas, then your competition is all of the other Ads for golden retrievers, not just the Ads for golden retrievers in Texas. Breeders in other states may be willing to ship their dogs to Texas, and, Texas buyers may be willing to drive to other states to purchase golden retrievers. So, if you are not getting as much response from your Ad as you want to receive, consider the above tips carefully and review all the Ads of your competition for ideas that will help show buyers that your pet is better than the rest.
However, do not become discouraged because there are a lot of people who visit all the Ads and yet they contact only a few pet owners until they find the perfect pet for their needs. The great news is that many people are obviously interested in the breed of your pet, otherwise there would not be so many people viewing your Ad.
