## Why local placement on HERECleveland works

Big platforms sell you a slice of everyone. HERECleveland sells you Cleveland. Every hub and section on this site is built around this city, so the people reading it are the people who can actually walk through your door, book your service or call your office.

### City-first audience

Readers come to HERECleveland for Cleveland news, sports, schools, events and business. That is the audience a local business needs, without paying to reach people three states away.

### Section-targeted sponsorships

Your ad shows where it fits. A business sponsor appears on business stories and the Business hub, a sports sponsor on sports stories and game coverage. HERECleveland runs 15 local section hubs today.

### Spotlight articles, clearly labeled

A Spotlight is a full article about your business, written in local news style and published permanently on HERECleveland.com. Every one carries a **PAID SPONSOR** label and an Editor’s Disclosure, so readers trust it.

### Your own partner page

Sponsors get a partner page on HERECleveland with your logo, description and links. Every Spotlight article and sponsor card links back to it, so readers can find you again.

[See our partners →](/partners/)

### Homepage and section sponsorships

Own the presenting position on a section, or get in front of the whole city on the HERECleveland homepage. One sponsor per section, so a competitor can’t share your spot.

### Found in AI search

Spotlights and partner pages are built with clean headings, metadata and schema markup, so Google, ChatGPT and Perplexity can read and cite them. The network’s search and AI visibility work is handled by its development partner, Real Internet Sales.
