Reach US singles where they actually research dates.

The Dating Gazette covers the US dating market the way a city paper covers its city — block by block, with real demographics, real venues, and an editorial voice that says what it thinks. If your business meets singles, our readers are already on the page.

What's available

Featured venue card

Bars, restaurants, cocktail rooms, wine bars, breweries.

Your venue surfaces at the top of the DateSpots rail on the relevant neighborhood page, with a "Featured" badge and partner-tier styling. Distinct from organic Google Maps cards — your write-up, your photo, your direct booking link.

City-level leaderboard

Matchmakers, photographers, event venues, dating apps targeting one metro.

Replaces the AdInquiryForm in the leaderboard slot on a full metro hub (e.g. /miami) for the duration of the campaign. Above-the-fold real estate on every zone within that city, sitewide.

Editorial partnership

Anyone with a real story (a new bar opening, a redesigned tasting room, a dating event series).

We write about it in the Gazette's voice — no advertorial dress-up. If it's interesting we run it; if it isn't, we say so and refund. Sponsorship clearly disclosed in the byline.

What we won't do

  • Self-rank our own picks in a "best of" listicle. Google demoted that pattern in January 2026 and we are not interested in being collateral damage.
  • Run advertorials disguised as reporting. Sponsored placements are clearly labeled. Editorial coverage is editorial coverage.
  • Fabricate metrics, success rates, or "intel" to make a venue or app look better than it is. Every number on the site is sourced.
