A simple step-by-step guide to listings, banners, campaigns, checkout, and what happens next.
New to ToFindAI advertising? You are in the right place.
This guide walks you through each option before you start an order. Read the path that matches what you want to do, then jump into the builder when you are ready.
Directory listing: get your AI business into the directory. Single banner: put one ad in one selected spot. Multi-placement campaign: run several banner placements together.
Want to be discoverable in the directory? Follow the Listing Guide.
Want one banner spot? Follow the Single Banner Guide.
Want several banner spots working together? Follow the Multi-Placement Guide.
You can read all three if you want, but each path is designed to stand on its own.
On the listing form you begin with your company name, email, website, and whether you want occasional ToFindAI updates.
The email matters because it becomes part of the access and recovery path for your listing later.
You will see four description lengths: 40, 80, 160, or 320 characters.
Use 40 or 80 when your offer is easy to explain quickly. Choose 160 or 320 when people need more context before they click. The longer options also open additional business-detail fields on the form.
Your price updates as you change the listing size, so you can compare before moving on.
If you choose a 160- or 320-character listing, the form expands with optional business information such as address details, phone, support URL, and support email.
These fields are optional. Add what helps people understand or contact your business; leave out what you do not need.
Start with the Main Category that best describes what you do. From there you can choose relevant Subcategories and Sub-Subcategories.
Think relevance first. A few well-matched categories are more useful than choosing places that do not fit your offer. As you add eligible category choices, the live calculator updates your total.
The pricing preview updates as you change listing size and category choices. You can compare monthly and annual billing before continuing.
If an annual option includes savings, the calculator shows that before checkout so you can decide which term makes sense for you.
When your listing looks right, choose Continue to Payment Review. The next step lets you review what you selected before the final checkout action.
If something is wrong, go back and change it. The goal is to know what you are buying before you pay.
Open the listing builder when you are ready. Start with the basics, choose your listing size, pick relevant categories, review the live price, and continue when everything looks right.
The Single Banner builder lets you select one available placement on ToFindAI. Start by entering your company or brand name, contact email, and the destination URL people should visit when they click your banner.
The placement list shows the areas currently available and the price for each one. Choose the location that best matches the kind of visibility you want.
If you arrive from an available sponsor sample on ToFindAI, the Single Banner builder can open with that placement already selected and its current price loaded.
You do not need to memorize placement names before starting - the builder shows the choices in one place.
Premium placements are the featured banner positions for that location. Shared placements rotate in the corresponding shared area below the premium position.
Premium is for stronger exclusivity. Shared is a lower-cost way to be seen in the same general part of the site.
The current banner system uses 1600 × 300 for desktop and 320 × 100 for mobile.
Upload the desktop creative and, where requested, the mobile version. Your destination URL tells ToFindAI where visitors should go when they click.
Choose your placement first so ToFindAI can show the configured desktop and mobile requirements for that spot.
Select Create a Starting Banner, enter your company and offer, and create a draft. You can try another design or minimize the helper and resume the current design.
When you choose Use This Design, ToFindAI prepares the required desktop and mobile files and places them into the normal upload fields. You can still replace either file before continuing.
As soon as you select a placement, the calculator shows the current price. Switch between monthly and annual billing to compare the available terms.
You can change the placement before continuing if you want to compare options.
Use Continue to Payment Review only when the campaign details look right. The review page lets you confirm the placement, billing term, and total before secure checkout.
If ToFindAI has an active public coupon program, the Payment Review page can also show a coupon field before you proceed.
Open the Single Banner builder and choose the location that fits your goal.
The Multi-Placement builder is for advertisers who want broader visibility without creating separate orders one by one.
Enter your company information and a default destination URL, then start choosing the placements you want to combine.
Choose two or more eligible placements from the inventory. The selected-placement section expands as you build the campaign.
You can use the default destination where appropriate and customize placement-level details when you want different treatment for different spots.
For selected placements you can add placement-level destination URLs and upload the appropriate desktop and mobile banner creative.
This lets one campaign send different audiences to different pages when that makes sense.
The calculator combines the pricing for the placements you selected and lets you compare the available billing term.
Review the combined total and your placement choices before continuing to Payment Review.
If you already know you want visibility in more than one area, start with the Multi-Placement builder.
If the Payment Review page shows Have a coupon?, enter your code and choose Apply coupon. When the code is accepted, the final price updates before you proceed to secure checkout.
If the coupon field is not shown, no public checkout coupon is active for that order at that time.
For banner sponsorships, a successful payment confirmation shows Sponsorship activated after payment is verified. The success page can show the public placement, your reference, access code, approval status, campaign details, targeting, and image status.
Keep the confirmation email and the on-screen reference/access details. They are part of the management and recovery path when you come back later.
If you find an eligible complimentary listing for your business, use its Claim path or a ToFindAI invitation. Verification is designed to stay self-serve whenever the available information can confirm ownership.
Start with the same email address used during submission or checkout. The Access Hub can locate supported records by email, with reference number and access code available as a backup path.
Choose the path that fits your goal: build a directory listing, reserve one banner spot, or create a multi-placement campaign. Current options and pricing are shown before you commit.
