How To Filter Inventory In Browse

Search a location, then narrow the catalogue with the filter bar and the More panel.

Written by Zachary Cuva

Browse covers the whole catalogue, so narrowing it is not optional — it is how you get from everything to something you can actually read.

Two separate things do that work: you search for where you want to look, and you filter what shows up there.


Start By Searching A Location

Use the Search Location box on the map to move to a city, metro area or address, then work from there.

You can also just pan and zoom the map. Either way, what you are looking at is driven by the map view rather than by a location filter — so there is no location pill in the filter bar to clear.

*Note: Because location comes from the map, moving the map changes your results. If inventory you expected disappears, check where the map is before assuming a filter is at fault.


The Filter Bar

Above the results sits a row of filters. Each one narrows what appears in the list and on the map together.

Filter

Narrows by

Price

Unit price, so you can work to a budget.

CPM

Efficiency rather than absolute cost. Often more useful than price.

Media Type

Billboard, transit, street furniture and so on.

Media Subtype

The specific formats within a media type. Unlike the campaign planner, Browse does let you narrow to individual subtypes.

Screen Type

Static or digital.

Screen Subtype

A further breakdown within static or digital.

Facing

Which direction the unit faces — useful when traffic flow matters.

Orientation

How the unit sits — portrait, landscape and so on.

Size

Physical dimensions.

Vendor

One media owner's inventory.

Refreshed Since

How recently a listing was updated. Covered in its own article.

Sort sits at the left of the bar, and Clear appears once you have filters applied, removing them all at once.


The More Panel

Not every filter fits in the bar. More, at the right-hand end, opens the rest — and this is where the filters that most improve a client-facing plan live.

Data completeness. Options for units with or without photos, with or without impressions, with or without a rate card, and options to hide unreliable pricing.

*Note: Requiring photos and impressions is a good default when scoping a market for a client. What remains is inventory you could actually put in a proposal.

Unit qualities. Attributes that matter for particular briefs:

Attribute

Means

Geopath audited

Impressions are independently measured. Worth requiring where a client demands audited numbers.

Instant book

Can be booked without the usual back-and-forth. Useful on a tight deadline.

Cannabis friendly

Accepts cannabis advertising, which many sites do not.

Without restrictions

No category or content restrictions attached.

Managed vendors

Media owners AdQuick works with directly.

Exclude broker vendors

Hides resellers, leaving inventory owners.

Attribution. Options narrowing to units that support measurement, which matters if the campaign will be measured.

Packages. Options to show only packages or exclude them. Excluding packages helps when comparing individual sites, since a package price covers many faces and is not comparable to a single unit.

**Note: Your filter bar and More panel show only what is available to your account, so yours may be shorter than this.


Map Or List

Two small icons above the results switch between the map and a grid of units. Both respect your filters.

The map is better for judging where inventory sits; the grid is better for comparing units on price, impressions and CPM side by side.
