Sponsored Guide Placement on IQarius
Introduce your business on an IQarius Guide focused on a relevant property or building topic. For a limited time, placements are available free of charge through a pilot program designed to develop and refine promotional formats for different types of businesses. Our Stucco Guide illustrates possible placement formats. Your promotional message would appear in a clearly labeled advertising area, separate from the guide’s educational content.
The offer at a glance
- What it is: A promotional message for your business on a relevant IQarius Guide.
- What it may contain: Your business name, approved service description, service area, image or logo, and website link.
- Where it appears: In an agreed advertising area on an agreed guide page.
- Limited-time free offer: We are currently offering placements free of charge as part of a pilot program to develop and refine promotional formats suited to different types of businesses.
- Placement duration: The publication period is agreed with you before publication. Free participation does not mean permanent placement.
- How to begin: Send a placement inquiry using the contact information below.
What can appear in your placement?
A placement can present essential information about your business and give interested readers a direct link to your website. Depending on the agreed format, it may include:
- Your business or trading name.
- A short, approved description of services relevant to the guide.
- The geographic area your business serves.
- Your business logo or a relevant image that you have permission to use.
- A website link or button directing readers to an agreed page on your website.
The final wording, image, link, and layout must be agreed before publication. The example guide illustrates possible presentation; it does not mean that every placement includes every listed element or both advertising locations.
Where will the advertisement appear?
Our Stucco Guide demonstrates two possible advertising formats. Your placement inquiry should identify the format you are interested in. Availability and the exact location must be confirmed individually.
Sponsored message within a guide
A separate, visually identified promotional box within the guide page. In the Stucco Guide example, this box contains a service-related heading, a business name, a short service description, and a website button.
Sponsored business placement near the bottom
A designated promotional area near the end of the guide. The Stucco Guide describes this area as a possible location for an approved service description, service area, image or logo, and website link.
These are possible formats, not a promise of two placements. The agreed offer will identify which advertising area is included. Additional locations or guide pages are included only when expressly agreed.
About the business shown in the example
The Sardar Restoration message in the Stucco Guide is an illustrative example only, not an active sponsored placement. Its appearance demonstrates a possible format and does not mean that IQarius endorses, ranks, verifies, or recommends that business.
Can you request a particular guide?
Yes. Include the guide title, page address, or subject in your inquiry. Your services should be relevant to that guide’s topic. For example, the Stucco Guide illustrates a possible placement for a business offering stucco, EIFS, exterior-wall repair, or restoration services.
Requesting a guide does not reserve advertising space. IQarius must first confirm relevance, availability, and the proposed placement.
What does it cost, and how long does it run?
Placements are currently free of charge as part of a limited-time pilot program. During this phase, we work with participating businesses to develop and refine promotional formats suited to their services and the relevant guide.
Before publication, we will confirm:
- The guide page and advertising location.
- The content and visual elements included.
- That the agreed pilot placement is free of charge for the agreed publication period.
- The planned publication date and how long the placement will remain published.
- Any agreed revision, extension, cancellation, or removal conditions.
Free participation does not mean permanent placement or automatic renewal. Your pilot placement will not automatically become a paid placement. Any future paid placement would require a separate agreement.
How content approval works
You provide the business information and materials you would like to use. IQarius reviews the proposed content for relevance, clarity, and suitability for the guide. Wording or images may need adjustment before a placement is accepted.
You are responsible for the accuracy of your business information and for having permission to use submitted logos, images, and other materials. Claims about qualifications, licensing, insurance, warranties, or results must be accurate and must not imply verification or endorsement by IQarius.
The final promotional content and placement terms will be confirmed with you before publication.
What a placement does not include
- An IQarius recommendation, ranking, professional verification, or endorsement of your business.
- Control over the guide’s educational explanations or advice.
- Guaranteed views, website visits, inquiries, leads, sales, or search-engine rankings.
- Exclusive advertising rights within a guide or business category unless expressly agreed.
- A directory listing, newsletter sponsorship, or placement on additional pages unless expressly included in your agreement.
Request a guide placement
Email your inquiry to iqarius@iqarius.com with the subject line “Guide Placement Inquiry.”
Please include:
- Your business name and contact person.
- Your business website and reply email address.
- A short description of your services and service area.
- The IQarius Guide or topic you are interested in.
- Your preferred placement format, if you have one.
- Your preferred timing and any questions about the placement.
You do not need to prepare finished advertising artwork for an initial inquiry. Start with your business information and the guide you are interested in.
An inquiry is not a booking. Sending an inquiry does not reserve space, guarantee acceptance, or create a payment obligation.
What happens after you inquire?
- Placement review: IQarius reviews your business information, requested guide, and preferred format for participation in the free pilot program.
- Proposed terms: If a suitable pilot placement is available, you receive the proposed location, content requirements, publication period, and applicable conditions, together with confirmation that the placement is free of charge.
- Content confirmation: The promotional wording, image or logo, destination link, and layout are agreed before publication.
- Publication: The advertisement is published once you and IQarius have approved the final content and placement terms.
