Inquire · $4,997Four Cover months in a year; story refreshed each time. Saves about $5,000 versus buying months separately.
We do not promise leads or Google Maps rank. We promise the placement, the go-live date and the deliverables below. If we miss the go-live date, your Cover extends day-for-day.
Full-width magazine cover on the directory homepage for 30 days. One business statewide. Not a card in a grid.
About 1,000 words on the site, with a shareable URL you can send to clients and post on your own channels.
A 60–90 minute conversation. We run it once and turn it into the story.
A short cut from the interview for the homepage treatment and your listing.
Graphic assets: “As seen on the front page of Colorado Local Business Directory.”
You sit on the cover and in the Featured category carousel for the same 30 days.
A single editorial pass so the published piece matches your voice.
A Google Business Profile post that links to your Cover Story URL.
Priority on the next open Cover month before it is offered elsewhere.
The Cover is scarce on purpose: twelve months, twelve businesses if every month fills. It is for owners who want the prestige of the front page and a package of assets they can use everywhere — especially while directory traffic is still growing.
Featured can have many businesses statewide — one per category. The Cover cannot. When a month is sold, it is sold. We confirm the open month and go-live date in writing before you pay.
Guarantee language, plainly: you get the homepage slot for the agreed dates, the published story and the asset set. Missed go-live extends the Cover day-for-day. No lead quotas. No ranking promises.
Email listings@coloradolocalbusinessdirectory.com with your business, category and preferred month. There is no self-serve checkout for The Cover.
