Reach people deciding where to go in Gold Coast
Gold Coast Spots lists venues across Gold Coast with the filters people use when deciding where to go. Sponsored placements sit beside those results, clearly labelled and outside the editorial ranking. We share the traffic figures we actually have on request rather than quoting audience claims we can't evidence.
Visitor-heavy
Half your readers are new here
A large share of Gold Coast readers arrived this week. They have no local knowledge to fall back on and are choosing almost entirely from what they can find online — which is an unusually winnable moment.
Strip by strip
Burleigh isn't Surfers
The coast reads as one place from outside and as a dozen from inside. We keep Burleigh, Broadbeach, Coolangatta and Surfers distinct, because a visitor picking the wrong one has a different night entirely.
Seasonal swings
Peaks you can plan for
Trade here moves with school holidays and events more sharply than most cities. Advertising is worth timing rather than running flat all year.
Ways to work together
Advertising & partnership options
Prices and availability below are current; “Coming soon” means not yet available to buy, and “On request” means we will confirm what we can actually deliver before quoting. Everything is clearly labelled, and paid placement never changes your Spot Score — we never sell our editorial independence.
Direct booking only
Programmatic display (Google AdSense) is currently parked and is not on offer. A direct, labelled display placement tied to a specific guide or area can be discussed.
- Direct deals only
- Labelled placements
