Step 1: Define Your Campaign

Tell us your target audience, preferred cities and routes, campaign duration, and budget. Our planning tool recommends the optimal fleet mix and schedule to maximize your reach.

Whether you want to blanket an entire city or target specific neighborhoods during peak commute hours, we help you design the right plan.

Step 2: Upload Your Creatives

Upload your ad creatives through our self-serve dashboard. We support video, static images, and HTML5 rich media.

Our system automatically validates file formats, aspect ratios, and file sizes to ensure your content looks perfect on every screen in our fleet. We also provide creative guidelines and templates if you need a starting point.

Step 3: We Deploy to the Fleet

Once your campaign is approved, our content delivery system pushes your ads to the target vehicles. This happens over-the-air β€” no manual USB drives or technician visits required.

Our offline-first architecture ensures that even vehicles in low-connectivity zones receive the content reliably. Ads are cached locally on each device and played according to the campaign schedule.

Step 4: Ads Play on Route

As vehicles travel their daily routes, your ads are displayed on high-brightness screens visible to passengers. Our scheduling engine ensures fair rotation among active campaigns and respects time-of-day targeting rules.

GPS data is logged continuously so we know exactly where and when each impression was delivered.

Step 5: Real-Time Reporting

Access your campaign dashboard to see live and historical performance data. Key metrics include:

  • Impressions by route and time: See which routes and time slots are delivering the most views.
  • Geographic heatmaps: Visualize where your ads were displayed on a city map.
  • Screen uptime: Monitor the health and availability of screens across the fleet.
  • Proof of play: Download timestamped logs confirming that your ad was displayed as scheduled.

Step 6: Optimize & Repeat

Use the data from your first campaign to refine targeting, adjust creatives, and scale up. Many of our advertisers start with a pilot in one city and expand to multiple metros within weeks once they see the results.

For Fleet Operators

If you operate a bus fleet, auto-rickshaw network, or metro system, AdHops offers a turnkey monetization solution. We provide the hardware, install it at no cost to you, and share advertising revenue. Your vehicles earn money while they run their regular routes β€” with zero disruption to operations.

Our devices are designed for the harsh conditions inside Indian transit vehicles. They are vibration-resistant, heat-tolerant, and draw minimal power. Installation takes under 30 minutes per vehicle, and our remote management system means we handle all maintenance and updates without needing physical access.
