Advertise on Mangawhai Directory

Why advertise here

Mangawhai Directory is the local-first business directory for Mangawhai, Mangawhai Heads, Te Arai, Kaiwaka and surrounds. Visitors land here because they’re already looking for someone to call — a builder, a cafe, a plumber, a place to stay. There’s no scroll of sponsored noise above the listings, so a single ad on the page actually gets seen.

Every business gets a free organic listing. Paid ads simply put your brand in the highest-traffic spots: above the category page that matches your service, or on the homepage where everyone lands first.

Packages

A banner placed at the top of one category page (e.g. Builders & Renovations, Cafes & Restaurants, Plumbers).

Creative specs

Format: JPG or PNG (under 200 KB compressed). SVG accepted for logos and simple graphics.
Mobile creative is optional but recommended. If you only supply the desktop version we’ll scale it to fit, but a purpose-built mobile crop reads much better on a phone — most of our traffic is mobile.
Responsive scaling. Listed dimensions are the intrinsic creative size — your ad scales proportionally to the visitor’s viewport. On most desktops the homepage tile renders at roughly its full 1152 × 400, but it may scale down a little on narrower screens. Design for the listed size and the scaling will look clean.
Keep the most important text away from the edges (a 12 px safe area inside each ad).
