What the product does and how it is positioned
Spots provides a platform for users to advertise their products or handles by securing a position on a live, ranked leaderboard.
The system operates on a weekly cycle, allowing participants to bid for rank and resetting the board every Sunday.
Source-supported ways to use the product
Users can place bids to display their product URLs or social handles on a live board to increase visibility.
Participants can monitor the live board and increase their bids to overtake other listings and reach the top rank.
The platform functions as a competitive advertising space where rank is directly tied to the monetary bid submitted by the user. Each rank on the board corresponds to a unique price point, so that no two listings share the same bid amount.
