What we can report

We can outline agreed publication dates, live placement URLs and available platform-level engagement evidence where supported by our tracking. We do not guarantee sales, leads, click volumes or Google rankings, and will not invent reach figures. Request our latest verified readership information before committing to a campaign.

Editorial independence and advertising disclosure

Paid placements and sponsored directory listings are kept distinct from independent recommendations. An advertising purchase does not guarantee positive editorial treatment, undisclosed endorsements or inclusion in news reporting. We reserve the right to decline campaigns that conflict with our editorial and legal obligations.

What to send us for a proposal

Provide your business name and website, preferred Brisbane suburbs or wider Queensland target area, campaign goal, rough dates, indicative budget, artwork or photography you have permission to use and the contact responsible for approvals. Agencies can send a single brief with several client options.

Frequently asked questions

Do you guarantee impressions or conversions?

No. We can provide a scope, placement confirmation and available analytics, but results depend on traffic and campaign conditions. Any performance claims must be substantiated.

Can I cancel a directory listing?

The Business Starter listing is a monthly subscription. For billing and cancellation details, see the advertising terms and applicable Stripe customer portal. Longer campaign commitments depend on the agreed proposal.

How are sponsorships identified?

Paid sponsorship and advertising should be labelled as such. Independent Local Picks and editorial recommendations remain separate from paid placements.

Can I submit an event or local story instead of paying?

Yes. Genuine community events, news tips and editorial ideas can be submitted through Contact, but publication is never guaranteed. Paying for advertising is not a prerequisite for editorial consideration.
