Run the advertising for your county
One county, one owner. You sell the ad space in your patch, set your own prices, and keep all of it.
Last updated 4 August 2026
What you get
- Every advertising slot in your county is yours to sell — the banner, the map sponsor, category sponsorship, venue partnerships and the area spotlight.
- Your own desk to add advertisers, upload their artwork and set their slots live.
- You set the prices. We don’t set a rate card for you and we don’t approve your deals.
- You invoice your own clients directly. Their money goes to you, not through us.
What it costs
£100 per area, per month.
For the first three counties: nothing to pay until you have signed your first advertiser. No deposit and no minimum term. The day your first advert goes live the £100 a month begins, and your price is frozen for twelve months from that day rather than from the day you signed.
We do it this way because the fair objection to a new directory is that no county has yet been shown to earn anything, and a discount does not answer that. Not paying until you have sold something does.
It is three rather than a general offer because we work the first month alongside you, and three is as many as we can genuinely do that for at once.
Paid monthly in advance by Direct Debit or bank transfer, arranged with us directly — there’s nothing to pay on the site.
That’s the whole cost. There is no revenue split. If you sell £600 of advertising in a month, you keep £600 and you pay us £100.
How you make it back
There are five placements in every area. Selling any two of them at typical local rates covers the £100, and everything after that is yours. You decide whether to sell a slot at £20 or £200 — you know your county and we don’t.
Being straight about day one: the directory is new and there is no traffic data to show you. Anyone who tells you otherwise about a site this age is guessing. What you’re buying is first refusal on a county before anyone else has it, at a price that won’t move for a year.
The first month, we work it with you
An area is worth owning once there are rooms in it, and a new owner has no reason to know where to start. So we do the first month alongside you:
- We help you find the groups. We’ll go through the networking groups already running in your county and hand you the list.
- We give you the approach that works. How to open a conversation with an organiser, what to say, and what not to.
- We help you market it. Promoting the area and the site on LinkedIn and wherever else your county pays attention.
Getting hosts listed is the job that makes the advertising worth buying. It is our interest as much as yours, so it is not something we leave you to guess at.
What’s exclusively yours
- One owner per area. We won’t sell your county to anybody else while you hold it, and a national advert never appears inside it.
- Your price is frozen for twelve months from the day you start.
- No performance targets. We set no sales target and never will — the area is yours whether you sell five slots or none.
Which areas are available
The country is divided into 102 areas. Three things can be true of one:
- Available — most of them. £100 a month once you are earning.
- Held — Northamptonshire is not available. Digivide runs it, and that’s where the site started.
- Talk to us — Greater London, West Midlands, Greater Manchester and West Yorkshire. These are far larger than the rest and we price them individually rather than off a page. They’re not off the table; they just need a conversation.
The names catch people out. There is no “London” or “Birmingham” in the list. London is Greater London; Birmingham sits inside West Midlands; Manchester inside Greater Manchester; Leeds inside West Yorkshire.
If it doesn’t work out
There’s no fixed term. Tell us you want to stop, tell your advertisers, and stop taking their money. We don’t hold you to a year and we don’t charge an exit fee.
Your advertisers are your customers, not ours — so if you leave, that relationship is yours to wind down or take with you.
