Why Unified Ranking?
THE PROBLEM
Retail media platforms often show sponsored products that are not the best match for the shopper. The experience suffers, and so do clicks, conversions, and revenue.
THE ROOT CAUSE
On many platforms, organic and sponsored products are still ranked by separate systems with different goals. The result is a less relevant product list.
THE BETTER APPROACH
Unified ranking brings paid and organic products into one system. Advertiser bids can boost products and improve visibility, increasing both ad and retail revenue.
Why Unified Ranking Performs Better, And Costs Less 
Retailers already invest heavily in search and personalization AI. Legacy ad platforms ignore it, running separate, less advanced logic for sponsored products.

Pentaleap brings everything into one ranking layer, using your existing search intelligence to optimize both organic and sponsored results.

Better relevance, higher performance,
without adding another expensive system.
Get more out of your existing stack, with sponsored products and display ads that follow the same logic as your best-performing organic results.

Pentaleap does the ad serving for sponsored products, playing a crucial role in the tech stack, providing what might be described as an optimization layer between the ad server and the organic product listings.
This ensures that ads are relevant to what customers are actually searching for and browsing, unlike traditional retail media ad servers that operate independently from a retailer’s organic product recommendations.

The Old Way: Legacy Siloed Model 

Web pages are divided into paid and organic.​
Ad server and search & personalization don’t
talk to each other.
This often leaves ecommerce sites cluttered with irrelevant sponsored products.

The New Way: Unified Ranking Layer

Pentaleap is a layer between your ad server and your search & personalization.​
We use the intelligence of your existing search & personalization to improve ad performance.
Our tech boosts sponsored products to increase visibility and ad performance.
Siloed Ad Serving vs. Unified Ranking
Siloed Ad Serving​
Unified Ranking Model​
How it works​
The ad server ingests Sponsored Products into fixed, pre-reserved tiles in the grid.
Products that are sponsored are dynamically boosted from their organic position.
Source of intelligence
Relevance and ranking are determined by the ad vendors’ algorithms.
Leveraging your existing search 
& personalization AI 
(e.g. Google Vertex AI or Algolia)
Optimization scope
Only sponsored products​ are optimized.
Both sponsored and organic products​ are optimized holistically.
Goal
Maximize ad revenue​.
Maximize margin across both ecommerce and advertising​.
Ad inventory​
Limited number of fixed sponsored tiles; scaling up or down requires engineering.
Dynamic ranking; ad inventory can be scaled up and down easily via UI.
Performance outcomes​
Legacy ad serving delivers click-through rates that are only 50% or less compared to the unified ranking model.
Unified ranking A/B tests show 2X CTR and 80- 140% more ad revenue as improved relevance leads to more paid clicks.

Connect Demand

Once you’ve implemented the layer, you can connect demand from our partners Amazon, Google,Teads, Pacvue or Skai.

This Matters Now
The old model doesn’t scale. The industry has finally realized and even legacy platforms are moving toward unified ranking.
The only question is whether you adopt it early, or play catch-up later.
