Flat monthly pricing

$10 a neighborhood. $25 a city. $100 a state.

Pick the footprint you actually serve and pay a flat monthly rate for it. No contract, no setup fee, cancel any month. Every placement is labeled "Featured Partner" or "Sponsored Brand" to shoppers.

One Featured Partner slot per business per plan, subject to availability in your market. Multi-state coverage is quoted on request.

Placement options

Three plans, priced by footprint.

Every retailer is different. Some brands own a single neighborhood, others ship across an entire state. Each plan is a flat monthly rate for one footprint: a neighborhood, a city, or a state. Add more footprints as you grow.

Why advertise with us

Show up where shoppers are already narrowing their options.

Most ad platforms blast your brand into noisy feeds. THC City Guides is different: everything is routed by state, city, neighborhood, and product type.

Intent

High-intent local traffic

Our guides attract shoppers who already know they want legal THC. They're choosing which delivery service or dispensary to trust, and your placement meets them at that decision moment.

Trust

Clean, labeled placements

No flashing banners, no mystery links. Each placement is clearly labeled and presented in the same style as our editorial content, so shoppers feel safe clicking.

Precision

Granular coverage

Focus on a single neighborhood, own an entire city, or attach your brand to specific product categories like Flower, Pre-Rolls, or Vapes. You choose where visibility matters most.

Local demand signals

We tell partners when a shopper wants what they sell.

When a shopper submits a deals request on a city or neighborhood page, we can send partners in that market an anonymized alert that never carries the shopper's name, email, or phone. Just enough to know demand is real. Illustrative examples below, not live data.

Quick answers

Advertising & placements FAQ.

Every market is different, but these principles never change: we protect user trust, label placements clearly, and only work with brands operating legally.

How much does a placement cost?

$10 a month for one neighborhood guide, $25 a month for a whole city (the hub plus every neighborhood in it), or $100 a month for an entire state. Fill out the form below, we confirm availability in your market, and send an invoice for the plan you picked. Your placement goes live once the first month is paid. No contract; cancel any month.

What is a "local demand signal" alert?

When a shopper on one of our city or neighborhood pages requests deals or asks about a product category, we can notify partners in that market that interest exists there, without sharing the shopper's name, email, or phone number. It's a way to see that real people are searching, not a lead list.

Do you offer exclusivity in a city or neighborhood?

In some cases, yes. Where it makes sense and inventory is limited, we can discuss category or neighborhood exclusivity. Tell us what you're looking for, and we'll let you know what's available.

How are placements labeled for shoppers?

All partner placements are clearly labeled (for example "Featured Partner" or "Sponsored Brand") and presented in the same clean layout as our editorial content. We never hide sponsorships.

Can I advertise if I only do delivery?

Yes. Many of our partners are delivery-first brands. We simply emphasize your delivery radius, minimums, and ordering options inside the placement so shoppers know how to use you.

Do you work with medical-only or CBD brands?

We work with adult-use, medical, and CBD/wellness brands as long as they operate legally in their region. Tell us about your licenses and product mix in the form.
