Noon Ads and Sponsored Products Management
Scale your Noon visibility with precision Arabic-English keyword advertising
How Noon Ads Works
Noon Ads operates on a first-price auction model — advertisers pay exactly what they bid when they win an auction, not one cent more than the second-highest bid (unlike Amazon's second-price model). Rankings are determined by bid amount combined with a relevance score that measures how well your product listing matches the shopper's search intent. Three ad formats are available: Sponsored Products (keyword-targeted individual product promotion appearing in search results and product pages), Sponsored Brands (brand showcase with logo, custom headline, and up to three products at the top of search results — requires brand备案), and Display Ads (static banners for awareness, seasonal promotions, or retargeting based on user behaviour). All campaigns are managed through Ad Manager, accessible via advertise.noon.com or directly from Seller Lab.
Key Benefits & Methodology
Sponsored Products — Bilingual Keyword Campaigns
We build high-performance Sponsored Products campaigns with Arabic and English keyword groups, strategic bid management, and continuous optimisation to drive product-level sales while maintaining profitable advertising cost of sale (ACoS).
- Bilingual keyword research — Arabic core terms, Arabic long-tail terms, English terms
- Campaign structure — separate ad groups for Arabic keywords and English keywords
- Bid strategy — first-price auction dynamics, initial bids at 1.2x category average CPC
- Negative keyword management — excluding irrelevant search terms in both languages
- Search Term Report mining — identifying high-converting Arabic search terms
- Product-level performance analysis and budget reallocation to top performers
Sponsored Brands and Display Ads
We design Sponsored Brands campaigns for brand awareness and multi-product promotion, plus Display Ads for retargeting, seasonal campaigns, and competitor product page targeting — all with culturally adapted creative.
- Sponsored Brands creative — brand logo, Arabic + English headline, product selection
- Brand备案 requirements management — trademark registration and Arabic authorisation
- Display Ads retargeting — reaching shoppers who viewed your products without purchasing
- Competitor page targeting — placing Display Ads on competitor product pages
- Seasonal creative updates — Ramadan themes, White Friday promotional banners
- Video and banner format testing for engagement and CTR
Cultural Event Campaign Planning
The Gulf ecommerce calendar is driven by distinct cultural events. We plan and execute advertising campaigns timed for Ramadan (30 days of elevated evening shopping), Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha, Back to School, and White Friday (Noon's version of Black Friday, the biggest sales event of the year).
- Ramadan campaign strategy — evening peak timing (20:00–23:00 KSA), 50% bid increase
- White Friday campaign planning — budget scaling, deal promotion, cross-category advertising
- Eid gift-themed keyword targeting — 'هدية العيد' (Eid gift), 'تخفيضات العيد' (Eid sales)
- Back to School campaigns for stationery, electronics, and children's categories
- Post-Ramadan Eid al-Fitr surge — gifting, fashion, and celebration product promotion
Bid Optimisation and Performance Analytics
Noon's first-price auction demands precise bid management. We continuously adjust bids by keyword, time of day, and product — increasing bids during peak Gulf shopping hours (20:00–23:00 KSA) and reducing during low-activity periods to maximise return on ad spend.
- Dayparting bid adjustments — +30% during peak evening hours, -50% during 02:00–06:00
- Keyword-level ROAS tracking and bid optimisation
- Relevance score monitoring — ensuring listing content matches ad targeting
- ACoS (Advertising Cost of Sale) tracking and target management by product margin
- Cross-market performance comparison — UAE vs KSA vs Egypt campaign efficiency
- Monthly advertising performance report with strategic recommendations
Frequent Inquiries
How does Noon Ads pricing compare to Amazon Middle East?
Noon Ads generally offers lower CPCs than Amazon Middle East due to less seller competition on the advertising platform. Average CPCs range from $0.10 to $0.30 depending on category competitiveness, with Arabic long-tail keywords often available at $0.05–$0.15. This lower competition, combined with Noon's strong organic reach for well-optimised listings, means sellers can often achieve favourable ROAS compared to more saturated advertising platforms. The first-price auction model means you pay exactly what you bid — making precise bid management essential.
Do I need Arabic keywords for Noon Ads, or can I advertise in English only?
Arabic keywords are essential. Over 70% of Noon searches are in Arabic, and campaigns targeting only English keywords miss the majority of search volume. MultiMarket Growth builds bilingual campaigns — separate ad groups for Arabic and English keywords — allowing us to bid differently based on the performance characteristics of each language. Arabic long-tail keywords ('حماية مائية للهاتف في الشاطئ' — waterproof phone case for the beach) often deliver the highest ROAS due to low competition and high purchase intent.
