Social advertising

In Yandex Direct, you can promote charity organizations and run social impact campaigns ("social ads").

Ads in this category can only be served in ad networks. These ads are labeled with a “Social ad” icon.

Social ads include information aimed at achieving charitable and other socially useful goals or serving the interests of the state.

If it's unclear and/or impossible to unequivocally establish that an ad is aimed at achieving charitable and other socially meaningful goals, as well as ensuring the interests of the state, from its contents, then it's not a social ad.

Your ads and landing page must meet the social ad placement rules.

Ads must not contain threats, intimidation, or graphic imagery that is provocative or designed to evoke strong negative emotions. For example, asking for pity, aggressive demands for money, unfair exploitation of the feelings of civic duty, conscience, or patriotism, which produce a negative impression of individuals who are less demonstrative or active in expressing such feelings.

If the advertising and promotional content of the social ad mentions a sponsor, this mention must comply with the requirements of the Federal Law "On Advertising".

Make sure the promoted site contains:

  • A description of the organization's mission or the purpose of the social campaign.
  • Details of the company (TIN or INN/KPP, OGRN, legal address, bank name, account number, correspondent account), company's contact information (actual address, email, phone number), and information about the company's executives and founders (full names).

Note

Yandex doesn't allow political ads and promotions. Ads inspiring people to show up to the polls (without mentioning politicians, political parties, or associations) are considered social advertising and are accepted only from election committees.

Your ads must meet the legal requirements of the countries where you want to serve them.

According to the law On advertising and Yandex placement policy, certain documents must be provided.

When to submit documents

You can send documents at any time after your ads have been sent for moderation. If ads are rejected because required documents are missing, they will be reviewed again after documents are submitted. If your ads pass moderation, they will be eligible for serving. If additional information is required, we will contact you.

Required documents
  • Title documents: Certificate of state registration of the promoted organization, reference to a law, regulation, or other document relating to the activities of the organization (state or municipal body).
