Improving your visibility

Getting your advert live is the first step. Improving visibility helps more active buyers discover your listings and take the next step.

This guide explains how to use Boost Credits, add-ons and better listing presentation to help your Horsemart adverts stand out.

What visibility means for your adverts

Visibility is about helping the right buyers find your adverts while they are searching, browsing and comparing options on Horsemart.

A listing that is accurate, complete and easy to understand is more likely to hold buyer attention once it is seen.

Appear in the right places

Choose the correct category, location and advert details so buyers can find your listing through search, filters and browsing.

Stand out while buyers compare

Use clear photos, useful titles and honest descriptions to help your advert make a stronger first impression.

Keep adverts fresh

Update price, availability, images and key details so buyers know the advert is current.

Use visibility tools

Boost Credits and add-ons can help selected adverts get more attention when they are ready to be seen by more buyers.

Boost Credits

Using Boost Credits

Boost Credits help move selected adverts back towards the top of search results, giving them a fresh visibility push.

Use Boost when your advert is accurate, well-presented and ready for more attention.

1

Review the advert first

Check the title, photos, description, price, location and availability before boosting.

2

Choose the advert to boost

Pick a listing that could benefit from more visibility, such as a strong advert that has slowed down.

3

Apply your Boost Credit

Use an available Boost Credit or choose an add-on from your account.

4

Watch the results

Check your dashboard afterwards to see whether views, leads or engagement change.

When should you Boost an advert?

Boost works best when the advert is already clear, useful and ready for more buyer attention.

Before using a Boost Credit, make sure the advert gives buyers enough information to decide whether to enquire.

Good times to Boost

The advert is complete

Key details, photos, price, location and availability are all clear.

Performance has slowed

The advert had interest at first, but views or leads have dropped.

You want to refresh visibility

The listing is still relevant, but needs a fresh push in search results.

The advert is important to your business

You may want extra attention on a higher-value horse, horsebox, trailer, saddle, service or key business listing.

Avoid boosting if
!

Photos are unclear

Poor images can reduce buyer confidence, even if more people see the advert.

!

Key details are missing

Buyers may not enquire if they cannot understand suitability, condition, price or location.

!

The advert is out of date

Update sold, reserved, loaned, adopted or unavailable listings before using visibility tools.

Quick check: If you would not be confident sending the advert to a buyer today, update the listing before boosting it.

Improve listing quality before increasing visibility

More visibility works best when the listing itself is strong. Before using Boost, Promoted Ads or premium placements, check that buyers can quickly understand what is being advertised and whether it suits them.

Use recent, clear and honest images that show the horse, horsebox, trailer, saddle, tack, equipment or service properly.

Write a useful title

Add important details

Include the key information buyers need, such as suitability, condition, age, height, breed, payload, mileage, measurements or service details.

Review the description

Make sure the wording is clear, specific and honest.

Check price and location

Accurate pricing and location help buyers decide whether the advert is relevant.

Keep availability updated

Update the advert quickly if something is reserved, sold, loaned, adopted or no longer available.

Premium placements

Put your advert where buyers will see it

Track visibility in your dashboard

After improving or boosting an advert, use your My Business Dashboard to review whether buyer interest changes.

Look at performance over time rather than judging an advert from one single metric.

Listing views

Check whether more buyers are seeing the advert.

Leads

See whether extra visibility is turning into enquiries or contact actions.

Engagement

Review whether buyers are interacting with the advert once they find it.

Performance over time

Compare changes before and after updates, Boosts or add-ons.

Supporting note: If views rise but leads stay low, the advert may need better photos, clearer pricing or more useful information. If leads improve after a Boost, that advert may have been a good fit for extra visibility.
