What does Sponsored mean?

Every pitch is marked Sponsored so neighbours know it is a paid placement. The rel='sponsored' link tag tells browsers the same thing. Paying never buys or moves a vote in the neighbourhood rankings.

When would my sponsorship start?

If the pitch is free now, it starts straight away. If it is booked, yours starts the day that booking ends. The dates are shown here before you pay.

Where will my company name appear?

That depends on the pitch you pick. The top page pitch shows on the homepage. A category page pitch shows at the top of your listing's category. A newsletter pitch appears in one weekly issue.

Pitch your brand here

Picture your company name on the top page where neighbours are looking for new local businesses opening near them. A sponsorship pitch is a paid placement that appears for 7 days, always marked Sponsored so everyone knows it is.

Every pitch carries the rel='sponsored' link tag and sits apart from the neighbourhood rankings. Paying for a pitch never buys or moves a vote.

One brand holds each pitch at a time for 7 days. If a pitch is booked when you choose it, yours starts the day that booking ends. The dates you would get are shown here and in your cart before you pay.

How to sponsor a new launch

List your business and pick a sponsorship pitch when you choose your plan. Or if you already have a listing, sign in to add a pitch. Either way, pick which pitch you want (top page, your category page, or a newsletter) and choose your run length.

Your account page your sponsorships shows each pitch as live now, scheduled to start later, or ended. You see the dates it ran and how many neighbours saw it and clicked through.
