how to write an effective kijiji ad title

by Matthew Sweeney | 2023 Sep 12 | kijiji listings

Introduction

Your kijiji ad title is one of the most important aspects as it is the first line of text that a kijiji user will read when they see your ad.

You have only 64 characters in which to tempt the user to click on your ad to find out more. Quite a lot to ask of 64 characters but it can be done if you put a little effort in.

Below you will find several ways of writing your kijiji ad title and as always if you would like some assistance please contact me via the ways below.

To illustrate the points we will continue with our fictitious plumber Brandan Johnson who is looking to create an effective kijiji ad.

Simply asking a question that a kijiji reader can answer with “yes” may get them to do what you want them to do like phone you up.

Got water where it shouldn’t be? Call Brandan the Plumber.
Got screeching pipes? Get them in tune again.

3. Mention your geographic area
