As competition between e-commerce and physical retail intensifies, brands can no longer rely solely on digital visibility. Reaching the user at the right moment and in the right location is one of the key factors that can influence purchasing decisions. Especially for brands targeting users on the move, location-based advertising solutions provide a powerful advantage at this point.
Pin ads offered on Yandex Navigation and Yandex Maps are an advertising model that supports store visits and user engagement by making brands’ physical locations visible on users’ routes.
What are Yandex Pin Ads?
Yandex Pin Ads are branded location pins displayed on users’ routes within the Yandex Navigation and Yandex Maps applications. Offering a native appearance on the map, this ad format highlights the physical locations of businesses, helping users notice the brand and easily navigate to the location.
How Do Yandex Pin Ads Work?
When a user creates a route on Yandex Navigation or Yandex Maps, the branded pins of businesses along the route are displayed on the map. When the user taps the pin, the business’s information card opens. Through this card, they can create a route, proceed to the website, or call the business depending on the campaign setup. This allows the user to reach the business with a single tap.
Advantages of Yandex Pin Ads
- Increases brand visibility.
- Supports physical store visits.
- Directly guides the user to action.
- Attracts attention as a natural part of the map experience.
- Ensures reaching the right user at the right time thanks to location-based targeting.

It is particularly preferred by restaurants, cafes, fuel stations, automotive services, grocery chains, hotels, retail stores, and brands operating in different locations. It strengthens local marketing efforts by making it easier for users to discover businesses while they are traveling.
Why Should Yandex Pin Ads Be Preferred?
Yandex Pin Ads are an effective location-based advertising solution that enables brands to reach their target audience at the right time and in the right location. Being visible at the exact moments when users are actively creating routes boosts brand awareness while also supporting direction to physical sales points.
