Ad targeting

You can use the Yandex Mobile Ads SDK API to add extra user information. Adding context data to the request can significantly enhance the quality of advertising and increase your revenue.

Set up targeting

You can pass user information via AdTargeting when creating the AdRequest.

You can provide the following user information:

Parameter

Description

age

User age: number.

gender

The user's gender: Gender.male, Gender.female.

location

The user's location as detected by your app.

contextQuery

The user's search query in the app.

For instance, if the user searched for a car, this parameter might look like this: "Buy a used car in Moscow".

contextTags

The keywords from the page the user was viewing. These can be the page's title, parts of its content, tags, and other elements.

For a page with a car search, this parameter might look like: "Buy a car", "used car", "in Moscow".
