Sponsored slots
Paid placements inside search results, tracked separately from organic ranking.
A marketplace or large retailer lets brands pay for visibility. The honest implementation keeps sponsorship as its own layer: organic ranking stays untouched, sponsored items occupy reserved slots, and impressions and clicks are reported per campaign.
AACSearch implements sponsored slots as scheduled merchandising campaigns with separate reporting, so finance sees what each placement delivered and relevance metrics stay clean.
