What are native ads?

What are native ads?

Native ads are paid placements designed to match the look and feel of the content around them. Instead of interrupting the user experience, they appear naturally within articles, feeds and recommendation sections.

You’ve likely seen them as:

  • “Recommended articles” at the end of news stories
  • Sponsored posts within content feeds
  • Content suggestions on publisher websites

Because they integrate into the user experience, native ads often achieve higher engagement and better interaction than traditional display advertising.

Why choose Link Digital for Native Ads

Why choose Link Digital

Native ads don’t work in isolation. The traffic they generate needs somewhere to go, and the leads they produce need to be captured and followed up. The creative needs to align with what your audience sees elsewhere. That’s why we manage native advertising as part of a connected paid media strategy rather than a standalone tactic.

This is not the first time I've used Link Digital, so I thought I'd use them again as the service has been "Tip Top" with no snags since 2007. This was just a simple website for a new business and it was all done in a matter of just a few days by Melissa. She did not require much input from me and its up and running now. So happy. The one Great thing about Link-Digital is that they answer your questions really quickly while it fresh in your mind and you have the name of the contact you need, so there is no ohaafing about.

We recently worked with Link Digital to build our new website. We went with them on a recommendation, and we’re so glad we did. It was great working with Melissa and her team they were friendly and easy to talk to. The end result is user-friendly site that works well for our clients and looks professional too. We felt the pricing was fair and good value for what we received.

I cannot recommend the team at Link Digital enough! I hired them to design and build a bespoke website for my new business, The Screenwriters' Slate UK, which is an online platform that connects UK screenwriters with film & TV industry professionals worldwide. Programming the website was not an easy task, as it needed to have a built-in database (where industry professionals can search for screenwriters to work with), profile pages, a jobs board, a private messaging function, articles and advice pages, and a screenplay competition page with payment features - but the team went all out to meet my brief and I'm so pleased with the result! They also responded to my (many) email requests brilliantly and made sure that I was pleased with every page and function of the website. Extra thanks go to Kevin for building the website, and Melissa for managing the project from start to finish. The whole team are highly talented, friendly, and approachable, and they provide high-quality work at a competitive price. I highly recommend Link Digital for all of your website and digital needs 🙂

Very responsive and supportive. A special shout-out in particular to Elliot for his excellent service provided for ECIS. Elliot not only resolved issues, but also explained his steps and made it easy to understand how I could then implement similar changes.

We recently commissioned LinkDigital to renew our website and we honestly could not be happier with the end result! In this day and age, lots of marketing and website development companies look the same, and are full of promises so it always feels like a bit of a gamble when you go into contract with one of them, but from the get go we knew from the amount of time and effort the team put into our enquiry that this was a very professional and hard working team. Jack initially handled our enquiry, asked lots of questions of what we wanted and seemed genuinely interested in our business and goals, and he even applied a promotional discount to our website price (which he allowed us to finance over 3 separate payments) before handing us over to the team responsible for building and developing the site, which is where Melissa came in; Melissa was absolutely fantastic and showed the patience of a saint as we added to the site, tweaked things and changed everything from colours right down to text. The site just got better and better as Melissa continued to add various details from photos to links and technical data. We are just absolutely thrilled with the finished article and it is clear to see the amount of time and effort which has went into the site. I would simply finish by saying: if you want a cheap and cheerful website which will be thrown together in a few days, you probably don’t want to use LinkDigital as they take care and time to fully assemble a proper website, which requires input from you the client and lots of information sharing, but once the effort has been put in, you will not be disappointed. Don’t have any doubts, if you employ the services of LinkDigital, you will get a quality product if you decide to go with them, they really care about the quality of what they build as it is essentially their advert for what they create, and their prices are fair when you consider the quality of the product. We would give them 6 stars if we could 😊

Link Digital are superb in all aspects. Our previous web developer favourite words were "chargeable" even for things that were not right from the get go... as soon as the site went live there was no support and bills kept raining down... so we looked to change more out of frustration rather than necessity... But so glad we did! Working with Link Digital was easy going and together we got a more functional site, better loading speeds and all round better results from our site than ever before. Link Digital handled the new website design plus on going do our SEO and Adwords management and I will give them 10/10 in every area. The most important factor though is we have seen a substantial increase to business since working with LinkDigital. Highly recommended.

Worked with Mark across several sites now. The whole LinkDigital team is brilliant and easy to work with. The websites we have them manage have all seen increases in sales/leads and our adword spend, returns so much more now. Since employing LinkDigital for our SEO management as well, organic placement is up, with us seeing 1st page hits across many of our keywords in competitive markets. Google analytics all aspects have been increasing and most importantly all this has resulted in increased turnover and profits. Worth every penny of investment and more.

Frequently asked questions

What is native advertising?

Native advertising involves paid placements that match the look and feel of the content around them, appearing within editorial feeds, recommendation widgets and content platforms rather than as obvious banner or display ads. Because they integrate naturally into the user experience they achieve significantly higher engagement than traditional display formats.

Where do native ads appear?

Native ads appear across premium publisher networks, news sites, content platforms and recommendation engines. The leading platforms include Taboola, Outbrain and Yahoo Native, which between them reach hundreds of millions of users across thousands of premium sites.

How is native advertising different from display advertising?

Display advertising interrupts, it appears in obvious ad slots alongside content and is frequently ignored or blocked. Native advertising integrates, it appears within content feeds and matches the surrounding editorial style, earning attention rather than demanding it.

How is native advertising different from paid social?

Paid social reaches people within social media platforms based on profile and behaviour data. Native advertising reaches people across the open web, on news sites, blogs and content platforms, often at a lower cost per click and with less audience saturation than social feeds.

What results can I expect?

Results vary depending on your sector, audience and creative quality but businesses typically see stronger brand recall, higher content engagement and improved lead quality compared to standard display. We set clear benchmarks at the start of every campaign and report transparently throughout.

How much does native advertising cost?

Campaign budgets vary depending on your objectives, audience size and platforms used. Starting budgets typically begin from £1,500 per month. We'll always be upfront about what a realistic investment looks like for your specific goals.

Can native ads work alongside my existing paid campaigns?

Absolutely, in fact they work best that way. Native advertising reaches people earlier in the buying journey who aren't yet searching actively. Paid search then captures them when they do. Together they cover the full funnel far more effectively than either channel alone.

What do I need to get started?

A clear understanding of your audience and objectives, a willingness to invest in quality creative and a landing page that can convert the traffic native ads generate. We'll guide you through everything else.
