Living on Canandaigua is an independent guide for people buying, owning and living in homes around Canandaigua Lake. Readers come here when they have a real project in mind: a septic inspection, a heating decision, a dock, a contractor, a home inspection, a purchase. If your business serves them well, you can be the local partner on the guides that match what you do.
How it works
- There is one clearly labeled “Local partner” spot on the guides in each matching category.
- Sponsored spots are always labeled “Local partner (sponsored)” and links are marked as sponsored.
- The guides stay independent. Partners don’t write, edit or approve guide content, and a partnership doesn’t change what we recommend.
- No pop-ups or banner ads. Just a short, plain box near the end of the guide.
Options and pricing
Listed partner: $50/month
Your business name, a short blurb and a link in the partner box on one guide.
Featured partner: $100/month
The partner box on all guides in one category (for example septic and wells, or heating and utility costs), plus a mention on that category’s hub page.
Category sponsor: $200/month
Exclusive in one category: the partner box on all its guides and on the category hub, plus the “Get quotes from local pros” request form on those guides, with requests in your category sent to you. Readers agree before submitting that their request goes to up to 3 local businesses.
Who we accept
We only accept relevant, reputable local businesses that serve Canandaigua Lake: the kind of company we’d be comfortable pointing a neighbor to. Where a license or insurance is required for the work, you’ll need to have it. We may decline any business, and we’ll remove a partner if readers report real problems.
Terms and payment
- Month-to-month. No contract; cancel any time before your next month.
- Payment is by PayPal invoice, in advance each month. Your spot goes live once the first invoice is paid.
- We’ll write or tidy up your blurb with you so it stays short and useful.
