Reach people deciding where to go in Sydney
Sydney Spots lists venues across Sydney with the filters people use when deciding where to go. Sponsored placements sit beside those results, clearly labelled and outside the editorial ranking. We share the traffic figures we actually have on request rather than quoting audience claims we can't evidence.
Fragmented city
Nine markets, not one
Sydney doesn't shop as one city. Someone in Cronulla is not weighing up a Friday night in Newtown. Advertising to "Sydney" wastes most of the spend; we let a Parramatta venue reach people already looking at Parramatta.
Suburb-level
Where the harbour isn't
Coverage stops at the postcard for most guides. We carry Chatswood, Bankstown and Liverpool at the same depth as the Rocks, which is where a lot of good businesses sit unreached.
Late decision
The tab before the booking
A venue page is usually the last thing open before someone books. That's a different moment from a banner someone scrolls past on the way to the news.
Ways to work together
Advertising & partnership options
Prices and availability below are current; “Coming soon” means not yet available to buy, and “On request” means we will confirm what we can actually deliver before quoting. Everything is clearly labelled, and paid placement never changes your Spot Score — we never sell our editorial independence.
Direct booking only
Programmatic display (Google AdSense) is currently parked and is not on offer. A direct, labelled display placement tied to a specific guide or area can be discussed.
- Direct deals only
- Labelled placements
- No programmatic network running
From $99/month
Sit inside the Sydney category and suburb pages people actually browse — marked Sponsored, every time. Your Spot Score doesn't move and neither does your editorial position. Paid placement runs beside the ranking, never inside it, because the moment readers can't tell the difference the ranking stops being worth advertising against.
- Category & suburb targeting
- Always labelled “Sponsored”
- Keeps your own honest Spot Score
$99/month
A capped rotation on the Sydney homepage and the main landing pages. We limit how many run at once — in a city this size an uncapped carousel would be endless, and endless is the same as invisible.
- Homepage & landing exposure
- Limited inventory
- Rich imagery & copy
Per send
Sponsor a single edition of the Sydney email. One sponsor per send, labelled as such, going to people who asked to hear what's on. We'd rather sell fewer of these than have readers start skimming past them.
- One sponsor per edition
- Opt-in list; size supplied on request
- Link tracking included
