Get your business in front of Auckland.
BestAuckland is the flagship of the NZ City Guides network — independent Top 10 lists for the places New Zealanders actually use. Featured spots, sponsored entries and network-wide campaigns are available on a first-come basis.
High-intent traffic
Visitors arriving from Google looking for the #1 in your category — locals actively choosing where to spend.
Local + visitor mix
Aucklanders, NZ travellers, and inbound tourists planning their stay.
5-site network reach
Add Wellington, Rotorua, Queenstown and NZCTR for country-wide reach.
AI-search visibility
Structured, llms.txt-indexed guides — the format AI tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity cite.
Monthly refresh
Lists are date-stamped and refreshed continuously, so your placement stays current.
Clearly-badged sponsorship
Every paid placement is labelled Sponsored and sits outside the editorial Top 10 — transparent, never an ad farm.
// Placements
- Hero sponsor — the rotating featured-partner banner at the top of the homepage.
- Category feature — a clearly-badged featured entry in your category's Top 10 page.
- Partners strip — a permanent brand card in the site-wide partners section and footer picks.
Flexible monthly sponsorships — pricing on enquiry, per city or network-wide.
// Our advertising policy
Advertising buys visibility. It does not buy a ranking.
- What it buys: the hero sponsor banner, a badged partner card in the partners strip and footer, a labelled featured entry on a category page, and network-wide campaign slots.
- What it does not buy: a position in any Top 10, a higher rank, an Editor's Pick badge, or a change to what we write about you. Ranking order is editorial and is not for sale.
- How you'll spot it: every paid placement is labelled “Sponsored” or “Advertisement” on the page, and every paid outbound link carries
rel="sponsored". - Where an advertiser also appears in a category list, the entry is badged “Sponsored partner” so you always know.
// How it works
- 1. Send the inquiry form — we reply within 1 business day.
- 2. We confirm availability in your category + city.
- 3. Your listing goes live, usually within 48 hours.
