For Milton businesses
Reach Milton, the city — not Milton, the algorithm.
The Roundabout puts your business in front of an audience that actually lives here — affluent Milton residents, ages 35-55, reading on their phone over morning coffee. Three times a week. One sponsor per issue. No banner ads, no popups, no autoplay video. Built so readers don't resent you.
One sponsor per issue.
Never three banners fighting for attention.
Inline, not interstitial.
Tasteful placement that respects the reader.
Real reporting.
Opens, clicks, geo, weekly digest — not a vanity number.

What sponsorship looks like

That's it. One block, clearly labeled Sponsor, placed after the lead story. Brand voice matches the issue's tone. Links are tracked so you see real engagement.

What we won't accept
- No political ads. Candidates, PACs, ballot measures. Period.
- No real estate broker dunks. No "Beat your Realtor" or competitive sniping at named local businesses.
- No MLM, no crypto-coin, no "$10K in 30 days." Anything that smells like multi-level or get-rich-quick.
- No subscription auto-renewal traps. If your offer requires a Milton homeowner to dispute a charge later, we don't run it.
- No undisclosed paid placements. Every sponsorship is clearly labeled. We don't take money to influence which stories we run or how we frame them.
How to reserve a slot
Email ads@readroundabout.com with three things: (1) your business name and what you sell, (2) your preferred package, (3) the dates you want to run. Ryan will reply within one business day with a booking link and the next available placement window. We don't take payment until you've approved the creative and the issue is locked.
