Austin City Guide Advertising Info

 

 

Austin City Guide manages a network of interactive information kiosks in 50 Austin hotel lobbies that provide their guests with quick access to our website.  We are also prominently positioned in search engines with top 5 rankings for thousands of popular local search terms including very high rankings for each of the main areas of our guide.  Collectively that led to over 700,000 visitors in 2009 and 2.2 million pages views.  Unlike other Austin guides that charge you by the click or ridiculous high rates, we charge a flat fee of $99 per month for a basic listing and $179 per month for a featured listing.   Compared to other online guides, we deliver more traffic per dollar.  In fact, we'll even let you renegotiate your rates after a couple of months to guarantee you never pay more than 25 cents per click.

Setup Fees
We charge a $199 setup fee to design both basic and featured listings.  The setup fee includes everything but video production, which we outsource to third parties and can range in price from $300 - $500, depending on the length of the video.  If you already have video content, we do not charge to integrate it into your listing.

Monthly Rates
Featured listings are $179 per month and basic listings are $99 per month, plus tax.   Featured listings are always listed above Basic listings and generate more clicks due to their more prominent placement.  Some specialty categories may cost more and we offer incentives for non profit organizations and small businesses, which may pay less.  Some businesses may wish to purchase an additional listing for $25 per month in a second area of our guide.  Additional listings are most commonly used to promote the bar aspect of a restaurant that has an active bar scene or to promote businesses with more than one location.   

Terms
All of our service agreements are month-to-month with a 30-day notice to cancel.
