Advertise with Us
Reach engaged, location-aware community members — on the maps, in the feeds, and on the globe. Never in the way.
Where Your Ad Can Appear
Every ad starts with a base placement mix you choose — pick one or combine several.
Map Ads
Your card appears in the rails beside every map — Home, Events, Trails, and Track. The map area is sticky, so your ad stays on screen while users scroll. On mobile, cards stack above the map.
Feed Sponsored Cards
Native-style sponsored cards interspersed between posts in the Events, Trails, and Market feeds — clearly labeled, never disruptive.
Homepage Globe
A geo pin with your logo at your business's real location on the interactive homepage globe — or your logo displayed above the globe itself.
Highlights & Local Picks
Subtle, blended "local picks" cards inside content streams — the lowest-key way to stay visible in your community.
Optional Add-ons
Extend your base ad with optional placements and reach:
- Featured in local feed Free — sponsored cards woven into the content feeds your community actually reads.
- Priority map placement Free — your ad wins the map slots ahead of standard ads.
- Category spotlight Free — a badged spotlight card at the top of the Events, Trails, and/or Market feeds. Pick any combination of categories.
- Homepage globe placement Free — your pin and logo on the globe every visitor sees first.
- Other communities Free — your ad belongs to your home community; this serves it in additional communities you choose.
- Extra geographic area Free — reach viewers browsing within a mile radius of your location, regardless of which community they're in.
