After you enter your ad information, you will be directed to the payment page. You may pay by any major credit card (Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express).

Please note, payment must be received before your ad goes live.

Your ad will be placed in a hold status until your payment clears. Once we receive confirmation of your payment, approval typically occurs on the same or next business day, depending on when it is submitted.

We recommend getting creative with your ad headline so it stands out against the competition. Remember, your ad will be sorted into your selected category (eg: Associate Veterinarians), so your title should ideally be more descriptive than just the job title. This is a good place to highlight something about your company, staff, benefits, or some other perk that will catch candidates' attention, or mention a quality you want the candidate to possess. Keep your headline from getting too long by using abbreviations such as FT (full time), PT (part time), SA (small animal), MA (mixed animal), RE (real estate), DVM, RVT, etc.

Examples:

❌ Associate veterinarian needed

✅ No on-call hours at well-established SA practice in Columbus

✅ $10K hiring bonus for experienced & enthusiastic DVM

✅ Busy MA practice needs RVT with ruminant experience

If you need help, try running your title through a headline analyzer, such as the ones below:

• Co-Schedule
• Capitalize My Title
• Monster Insights

Yes, the text box wherein you type the body of your ad is a WYSIWIG (what you see is what you get) editor.

While you must be logged in to post an ad, you do have a few options for posting an ad anonymously.

1. Modify the display name on your account. (See "How can I update my personal information or change my password?" above.) The display name is what appears alongside your ad.
2. Create a new account that masks your name. (Note, you will need a different email address to create a new account.)
3. Alternatively, you can contact us to post an ad on your behalf. Keep in mind that, if we post it for you, you will not receive email reminders when your ad is about to expire.

To run an ad continuously, you will need to renew it manually at the end of each 60-day period. You will receive an email notification seven days prior to your ad's expiration date.

However, if you would like to "set it and forget it," you can pre-pay for a specified amount of time. Please contact us for more information. Keep in mind, if you take your ad down early, there are no refunds for any unused time.

Yes. You will receive an email notification seven days prior to your ad's expiration date, as well as a reminder email three days after. If you would like to renew it, log in to your account, navigate to the "My Listings" page, and click the "Renew" button to the right of the ad you'd like to extend.

If you do not wish to renew, simply ignore the emails. Expired ads are stored in the database for 180 days. You can renew at any point during this time period, but after the deletion date, you will not be able to retrieve your ad and will need to create a new one.

Yes. If you would like to remove your ad before it expires, you may delete your ad via your online account under the "My Listings" tab, or contact OVMA to request removal. Keep in mind that deleting your ad will permanently remove your ad from the site and your account. Additionally, there are no pro-rated refunds for any remaining time.

The standard duration for all ads is 60 days.

If you are an OVMA member, however, you can customize the length of time your ad runs in increments of 30 days, at the rate of $50 per 30-day span. Please contact us for more information.
