Reach the customers in your own backyard.
Your ad shows the moment someone searches for what you do — and they’re right where you do business. You pick the words, you pick the area. Nimbus does the rest.
Start advertising
You pick the words — and the area
Tie your ad to the keywords that fit your business, so it only shows for searches that match. Then choose how far you reach:
- A radius around you — the neighborhood or town right around your shop. The sweet spot for a local business.
- A city or region — a whole metro if you serve it.
- The whole country — go nationwide if that’s your market.
Anybody can match a keyword. Matching it for the people actually near you is what turns a search into a customer.
Where your ad shows
Your ad sits in the Sponsored spot right next to the searcher’s own contacts and the recommendations from people they trust. The highest-intent, most-local moment there is: someone actively looking for your service, in your area, beside the names they already believe. Recommendations first, ads clearly marked — that’s why people don’t tune them out.
How it works
Create your ad
Business name, tagline, and logo. Every ad is pre-approved before it runs.
Target it
Pick your keywords, set your center address, and choose a radius — or a city, region, or the whole country.
Go live
You only pay when it works — per view and per click. Pause or adjust anytime.
You only pay when it works
No monthly fee. No paying to be listed and hoping. Unlike the directory sites that bill you every month whether a single lead comes in or not — on Nimbus, a click means a local, interested person raised their hand.
You target keywords and areas — never people
You never get anyone’s personal contact info. You choose the search terms and the area; Nimbus matches your ad. All you ever see is the aggregate — views, clicks, and spend in one dashboard. We don’t sell member data to you, or to anyone.
Advertiser FAQ
How does the area targeting work?
You set a center point (your address) and a radius in miles — or pick a whole city, region, or country. Your ad only shows to people searching inside that area.
Why advertise here instead of a search engine?
You reach people at the exact moment they’re asking their own network for a recommendation — the highest-intent search there is, next to word of mouth instead of a wall of competitors.
What does it cost?
A nickel per view and a dollar per click-through. No monthly fee. You set a budget cap per campaign; when it’s spent, the ad pauses until you add more.
Can I run more than one campaign?
Yes — separate campaigns per service, area, or season, each with its own keywords, radius, budget, and dates.
What if several advertisers match the same search?
Rotation is fair — matching advertisers share the sponsored slots evenly.
Do I get personal info on people who see or click my ad?
No. Nimbus never sells or shares members’ personal contact information — with advertisers or anyone. You see aggregate numbers only.
