🏪 For business owners
If your business is already listed on Ask-Reno editorially, you're there because Reno locals recommended you. That's the only way into editorial coverage. From there, you can:
- 1.Download your “Recommended by Locals” badge for your storefront, website, or social. The badge is free — it's proof of editorial inclusion, not a paid product.
- 2.Apply to the paid newsletter offer program — a clearly-labeled sponsored placement reaching our subscriber base. Available only to businesses already in editorial coverage.
- 3.Editorial coverage is unaffected. Whether you participate in the offer program has zero impact on where you appear in our guides — that's the whole point of the split.
🛡️ The rules we don't bend
✅Editorial coverage is independent
Restaurant guides, best-of lists, and recommendations on the site are never paid. Locals put businesses there.
✅Editorial rankings are not for sale
Money cannot buy a higher spot, more coverage, or different positioning in editorial content.
✅Newsletter offers are clearly labeled
Every paid offer placement is labeled as sponsored. Subscribers always know what they’re looking at.
✅Paid placement does not change rankings
Buying a newsletter slot has zero effect on where your business appears in editorial guides or whether it appears at all.
