For Hilton Head operators

Reach travelers planning a Hilton Head trip — right now.

Sponsored slots on the pages travelers actually use to plan: the local directory, our long-form stories, and the trip-type landing pages. No networks, no programmatic — direct, measured, and capped by category.

Why advertise here

Better intent than Facebook. Better attribution than billboards.

Intent-matched audience

Our readers arrive searching things like “hilton head things to do” and “hilton head wedding venues.” They're already mid-decision.

Real attribution

Every slot tracks impressions and clicks server-side. You get a monthly performance report — not a screenshot of a Canva graphic.

Category-capped

One sponsor per page surface. You're not stacked next to seven competitors fighting for the same click.

Pricing

Three slot types. Self-serve. Cancel anytime.

Common questions

How do you measure impressions and clicks?+

Every slot fires a server-side event when it loads in a real browser, and again when the CTA is clicked. We deliver a monthly report with totals plus a 90-day rolling chart. We do not bill on bot traffic — anything we filter out as a bot does not count toward your impressions.

How fast does the slot go live?+

Within one business day of payment. We need creative (logo, headline, body, link) — if you do not have copy ready we can write it for you in the same window.

What if my category page is not listed?+

We open new page-display surfaces as the editorial calendar fills out. If you have a clear category match, ask — we will quote on adding the surface.

Is this the same as the Featured / Signature partner program?+

No. The partner program is annual, includes editorial and newsletter inclusion, and gets you on every page in the footer. Ad slots are smaller, monthly, and live on one specific page surface. Both are sold; many businesses run both.

Refund policy?+

Monthly subscriptions: cancel anytime, no proration. Story Sponsor (one-time): refundable for 7 days from purchase if the story has not been edited; non-refundable after that.
