Nobody has ever asked to see a billboard

11,700+ locals asked for this. That's the whole difference between what we do and everything else competing for your marketing budget, and it isn't a small one.

The honest part

Where the other channels beat us

Any comparison where one column wins every row is a sales pitch. Here's where we lose, so you know what the rest of this page is worth.

Meta wins

Scale, and slicing it thin

If you need 200,000 impressions next week, or you want to target women 45 to 60 within four miles of Mount Pleasant who follow three specific accounts, buy Meta. We can't do that at any price. We have one audience and it's the one we have.

Google wins

Catching people mid-decision

When somebody types "physical therapist near me" at eleven at night, they are ready right now, and you want to be in those results. A weekly newsletter can't intercept a moment like that. Nothing on this page should talk you out of search.

From a sponsor
