So What does Yandex Offer You?
In Israel, many local companies aspire to reach potential markets in developed countries. One of the most desired markets for advertisers today is the Russian market – a market with great potential and many penetration chances.
For this reason, Yandex recruited a local team, working with local companies interested to get to know and use the glowing chances in the Russian market. In Russia and in the former USSR states, Yandex is a synonym for the internet, and it offers users much more than just a search engin. Yandex has more than 80 different and diverse services that enable it to create a unique ecosystem, that significantly eases the export process for some of the services to foreign markets.
Advertising in the Yandex platform allows the advertisers to reach thousands of partner websites in the Yandex advertising network, where the exposure potential is of more than 110 million users every month. These are not typical text and image ads, but also advanced formats such as smart banners and dynamic ads with a wide variety of creative and targeting options.
Aside these formats, Yandex also offers free services such as Yondex Metrica and Yandex Audience to help you form audiences, and make your website more professional so that its conversion rates rise.
To maintain its status as a market leader, Yandex constantly works on improving the search algorithm.
