Featured Listing Basics
Here is a revised, highly scannable version of your help center page. I have singularized "listings" to "listing" where appropriate to make the copy cleaner, fixed several typos (e.g., "click with turn", "Advisor listing are"), and used a clear visual hierarchy so advisors can find answers instantly.
What is Featured Listing?
Featured Listing is a marketing tool that advisors can use to promote their listing to increase visibility and reach more customers on Keen.
This auction-based, pay-per-click system allows you to bid for higher placement within the Featured Advisors sort in your chosen category.
Open to All: Every Advisor listing is eligible to be featured. A minimum star rating is no longer required, meaning you can bid on a Featured Listing regardless of your current rating.
Sort Type Only: Bidding improves placement in the Featured Advisors sort only. All Advisors will still appear in the Best Available sort based on their Listing Quality Score (LQS).

How to Feature Your Listing
To feature a listing, follow these steps:
Visit your Advisor Dashboard.
Scroll to the My Listings section.
Click Feature My Listings.
Choose the specific listing you want to feature.
Enter your Maximum Bid amount per qualified click. (You can view Historical Bid data for guidance, though this is only an estimate).
-
Choose No Expiration or set a Budget.
Note: If you set a budget, the budget amount must be at least 3 times greater than your Maximum Bid.
Optional: Set up a voice greeting to be featured over the phone through 1-800-ASK-KEEN. View how to record a greeting.
๐ Key Rules: You can feature as many individual listings as you like with unique bids per listing. Your listing will only be featured when you are online and available for Calls and/or Chats.
Cost & Bidding Limits
Minimum Bid: $0.20 per charged click
Maximum Bid: $200.00 per charged click
Keen uses auto-bidding to ensure you are charged only one penny more than necessary to rank above the listing directly below yoursโnever more than your maximum bid. Your actual cost per click is determined by:
Your maximum bid
Your Listing Quality Score (LQS)
Active competition (the number and quality of other Advisors online and bidding)
How Clicks Are Counted
You ARE Charged When:
A customer with valid payment info clicks your Featured Listing.
A customer listens to your voice greeting over the phone.
A customer dials a promotional 800 number and enters your listing extension.
A customer adds payment info within 24 hours of clicking your listing.
You ARE NOT Charged When:
Clicks come from other sort options (e.g., Best Available).
The same customer clicks your listing more than once within 24 hours.
An Advisor or Keen employee clicks your listing.
The customer does not register payment info within 24 hours.
The customer is already a paying client from the past 30 days.
โ ๏ธ Important: Clicks are non-refundable, and placing a bid does not guarantee that a click will turn into a paid call or chat.
Why Did My Bid Expire?
Your bid may automatically expire if:
You reach your budget limit.
You have insufficient funds in your account.
Your listing has low conversion (it receives high clicks but few paid readings). If this occurs, you will be notified by email.
To resume bidding, simply place a new bid or add funds to your account.
Finding Your Listingโs Current Position
When looking for your placement on Keen, keep the following in mind:
| Factor | How It Affects Your Visibility |
|---|---|
| Introductory Promotions | If you opt out of introductory promotions, your profile will not appear to new customers or users who are logged out. |
| User Type | For new or logged-out users, the default sort is Best Available. For returning customers who have transacted on Keen, the default sort is Featured Advisors. |
| Your Status | You must be actively set to Available for Calls or Chats to be visible in your featured placement. |
| Platform Consistency | Placements are consistent across both the website and app, though they may shift slightly depending on real-time competitor availability. |
