The spot nobody's written about yet.
You're real, you're good, and you live by word-of-mouth. Your name doesn't come up when someone searches for the best version of what you do.
On the record.
A real editorial piece on certifiedfl.com puts your name in front of the Tampa Bay audience that already trusts where we point them.
The name locals send each other.
A full carousel, article, and cross-surface rollout turns a one-time read into the place people screenshot and text to a friend.
Part of the city's record.
A sustained editorial presence makes you the name we reach for when we cover your category. The publication’s standing becomes yours.
Common questions
- Is this an ad?
- It is a commissioned editorial feature: reported, written, and designed by the desk that runs the publication, and clearly labeled "Advertisement" where FTC rules require it. Editorial review still applies, and we decline what is not a fit for the publication.
- You already featured us. What is different?
- That earlier piece was our editorial pick, free and unpaid. A commissioned feature is the full treatment: a feature carousel on the feed, a long-form editorial article on the site, and story coverage on publish day, on a week you choose.
- What do I have to do?
- About ten minutes. A short intake from your phone, plus photos if you have them. We write, design, and publish; you approve the proof before anything goes live.
- Who writes it?
- The editorial desk that runs the publication. You get one revision per piece, and nothing publishes without your approval.
- What if I am not ready yet?
- Send the desk a note with the form above and tell us when you want it to run, like a season opening or a launch week. Or start free: a business account puts your listing on the Tampa Bay map at no charge.
- What happens if editorial review declines?
- A full refund, and we tell you within 2 business days. The review protects the publication your feature runs in; it is the reason a feature here means something.
