Question 1

What is The Westlake Spotlight?

Accepted Answer

The Westlake Spotlight is a curated local media platform that connects Westlake residents with trusted businesses through premium postcards, a digital directory, and a growing email community. We're not a generic directory — we treat every featured business as a local expert.

Question 2

How many businesses can be listed per category?

Accepted Answer

We limit each category to 1 business. This ensures real exclusivity and prevents the cluttered feel of traditional directories. Once a spot is taken, competitors in that category cannot advertise.

Question 3

How does the postcard distribution work?

Accepted Answer

We deliver high-quality, curated postcards directly to 7,500 households monthly. Each postcard features select local experts with a premium editorial design — not a coupon mailer.

Question 4

How much does it cost to advertise?

Accepted Answer

Pricing depends on ad size and placement tier. Contact us for a personalized quote. We offer Small (3x2), Medium (3x4), and Large (6x4) spotlight placements.

Question 5

Do you offer contracts or is it month-to-month?

Accepted Answer

Spotlight reservations are month-to-month. No contracts. Ever.

Question 6

How do residents join the email list?

Accepted Answer

Residents can sign up directly on our website to receive monthly digital spotlights, exclusive offers, and community updates. We grow this audience organically and never share subscriber information with third parties.

Question 7

What makes The Spotlight different from other local advertising?

Accepted Answer

Three things: category exclusivity (your competitors can't be on the same postcard), premium editorial design (we are a premium postcard, not junk mail), and multi-channel reach (mailbox, website, and inbox). Our curated approach builds real trust between businesses and residents.
