Yandex Unveils Unified Advertising Platform Across Services

Yandex has launched a unified advertising platform that streamlines the process for advertisers to place banners across its various services.

Advertisers can now manage campaigns across Yandex Market, Food, Lavka, Delivery, and Go from a single account, simplifying the entire setup. This new platform allows advertisers to define budgets, campaign durations, target audiences, and other key parameters in one place, making the process more efficient.

Centralized Campaign Management

The new platform brings together all of Yandex’s services under one advertising umbrella, enabling advertisers to utilize cross-channel marketing.

For instance, a user browsing a product on Yandex Market may later see a related banner on Lavka or vice versa. This integrated approach helps advertisers reach users at different points in the marketing funnel and experiment with new creative strategies.

One of the key benefits is that these ads will appear natively within the Yandex ecosystem, making them feel more like relevant offers rather than intrusive advertisements. The system also allows advertisers to target specific users or focus on certain services if needed.

Expanded Access for Market Advertisers

Market advertisers have already gained access to the new platform, enabling them to place ads not only on Yandex Market but also on Yandex Food, Lavka, Delivery, and the Yandex Go app.

They can easily set up campaigns through their personal accounts, adjusting banner settings for each service. Advertisers using other Yandex platforms can coordinate with their managers to set up broader campaigns.

Additionally, the platform allows advertisers to direct users to third-party sites, making it possible to launch campaigns that promote external resources.

Integration With Yandex Services

Media agencies now have the ability to run campaigns across Yandex Market and Lavka through their clients’ personal accounts.

This expands advertising opportunities, as Yandex continues to roll out new features. Recently, private Telegram channels gained access to monetization through the Yandex Advertising Network (YAN), and YAN now supports delivery information in ad campaigns.

Yandex Direct advertisers can also monitor campaign statistics and account balances via a Telegram bot, adding another layer of convenience to the platform.

Dan Taylor is the founder and editor of International Search Insights (ISI), the publication behind ReadIsi, and a Partner and Head of Innovation (Search & AI) at SALT.agency. He has worked in search for more than a decade, in-house and agency-side, and is regarded as one of the West’s leading voices on search engines beyond Google, including Yandex, Baidu, Naver and Cốc Cốc. On ReadIsi, Dan covers the engines and AI answer platforms that English-language coverage tends to miss: Baidu and ERNIE, Yandex and Alice AI, Naver, Cốc Cốc, Shenma, Sogou, WeChat and Weibo search, plus DeepSeek and Alibaba’s Qwen. He also keeps dated records of documented changes, such as the Yandex, Baidu and Naver algorithm update histories and the DeepSeek, ERNIE and Qwen model update histories. His approach is to take learnings from global search engines and apply logic with a high evidence threshold. A claim needs a source, patterns seen in one market are treated as a hypothesis until they are checked in another, and where the evidence is thin he says so. For brands, that means advice built on what can be shown, with measurement that separates being cited from being chosen. Dan is credited with coining the term “edge SEO” and won the inaugural TechSEO Boost research competition in 2018 for his work on CDN and edge changes for SEO. In 2026 he was credited with coining “Infinite Tail” to describe how keyword research is changing with AI search. He is the author of AI Search Marketing For The Travel Sector, writes for Search Engine Journal, Search Engine Land and Travel Marketing Guy, and has advised technology, SaaS, travel and enterprise ecommerce brands, including Cloudflare, GitLab and Airbnb. He has given multiple talks and panels at the International Search Summit in Barcelona, and has also spoken at Optimization Moscow, brightonSEO, Google Search Central Live Deep Dive Asia in Bangkok, Athens SEO and the Asia SEO Virtual Summit 2026, where his talk looked at how Baidu, Naver, DeepSeek, Tencent, Cốc Cốc and Yandex built their own AI answers.
