Advertise on HEREHouston
Put your business in front of people who live, work and spend money in Houston. HEREHouston is city-first local news, and your sponsorship runs inside the section your customers are already reading: business sponsors on business stories, sports sponsors on sports stories.
Why local placement on HEREHouston works
Big platforms sell you a slice of everyone. HEREHouston sells you Houston. Every hub and section on this site is built around this city, so the people reading it are the people who can actually walk through your door, book your service or call your office.
City-first audience
Readers come to HEREHouston for Houston news, sports, schools, events and business. That is the audience a local business needs, without paying to reach people three states away.
Section-targeted sponsorships
Your ad shows where it fits. A business sponsor appears on business stories and the Business hub, a sports sponsor on sports stories and game coverage. HEREHouston runs 15 local section hubs today.
Spotlight articles, clearly labeled
A Spotlight is a full article about your business, written in local news style and published permanently on HEREHouston.com. Every one carries a PAID SPONSOR label and an Editor’s Disclosure, so readers trust it.
Your own partner page
Sponsors get a partner page on HEREHouston with your logo, description and links. Every Spotlight article and sponsor card links back to it, so readers can find you again.
Homepage and section sponsorships
Own the presenting position on a section, or get in front of the whole city on the HEREHouston homepage. One sponsor per section, so a competitor can’t share your spot.
Found in AI search
Spotlights and partner pages are built with clean headings, metadata and schema markup, so Google, ChatGPT and Perplexity can read and cite them. The network’s search and AI visibility work is handled by its development partner, Real Internet Sales.
