CityApollo advertising

Local advertising with CityApollo.

Newsletter advertising, website placements and sponsored articles for businesses that want to reach local readers. Choose a city and a useful offer; we will confirm the available placement, dates and audience evidence before quoting.

Specific deliverables. Clear sponsor labels.
Pricing based on what we can substantiate.

One straightforward menu

Three ways to tell your local story.

01

Newsletter mention

One clearly labeled sponsored block in one agreed city edition. The order specifies the headline, copy length, image allowance, call to action and destination link.

We confirm the edition date and whether the placement appears online, in an eligible email send, or both. Email inclusion is offered only when that city's sending channel is ready and its audience is verified.

02

Website placement

One sponsor creative in an agreed position on named CityApollo pages for an agreed start and end date. The order specifies the image dimensions, link, mobile presentation and replacement rules.

We identify the pages and placement before you book. A city placement does not imply network-wide distribution or a guaranteed number of views.

03

Sponsored article

One clearly labeled sponsored article with an agreed topic, production scope, image requirements, destination link and publication window. We agree fact-checking and the revision allowance before production.

The order defines hosting duration and any separate promotion. Article production does not automatically include a newsletter mention, homepage placement or a favorable editorial review.

A quote you can assess

Audience evidence comes before the price.

Tell us your target city, business, campaign objective, proposed dates and destination page. We will recommend a format only after reviewing its local relevance and the inventory available.

Before you purchase, the quote identifies the relevant city, audience measurement period, measurement definitions and available delivery or traffic evidence. Newsletter subscribers, delivered emails, website users and page views are different measures; they are not presented as interchangeable reach.

Prices are quoted for the specific deliverables and the audience value we can substantiate. We do not promise sales, search rankings, clicks or a fixed audience without an explicitly supported commitment.

  • A named city and the exact publication or pages
  • Creative requirements, copy limits and approved destination links
  • Publication dates or placement duration, fees and payment terms
  • Available reporting, its measurement window and any limits
  • Approval, revision, cancellation and rescheduling terms agreed in writing

Useful to readers

Give people a reason to act.

A local business introduction, a genuine published offer or a relevant upcoming event gives readers something concrete to consider. Supply accurate prices, eligibility, dates, restrictions and booking details. Use images you own or have permission to publish.

Paid placements are labeled so readers can distinguish them from independent editorial selections. Paid links are marked as sponsored. Sponsors review factual details within the agreed production process; purchasing a placement does not buy independent news coverage or a positive review.

Different needs, different routes

Advertising is separate from your own website.

A free business listing helps residents find your public business details in the appropriate city directory. It does not require an advertising purchase.

If your business needs its own website, hosting, maintenance, organized inquiries, Google review requests and an inbound voice receptionist, the CityApollo Website & Care package is a separate service: $3,000 setup plus $497 per month, with phone and messaging usage included. Additional work is quoted separately.

A clear scope before we begin

Plan a placement around your actual market.

Send the city, dates, offer and destination. We will confirm fit, availability and evidence-based pricing before you commit.
