Become a Leeds Today founding partner
Six category-exclusive partnerships on Leeds’ #1-ranked business news platform. Twelve months of daily visibility; every article, page & email locked in at the founding rate.
Ranked #1
"Leeds Business News"
The opportunity
Leeds Today launched on 8 March 2026. Six weeks in, we rank #1 on Google for “Leeds Business News” and page #1 for several other core terms. We’ve done that with zero paid promotion.
The traffic is early but it’s the right traffic. 600 active users in our first 30 days with a strong returning user already — the number that tells you people are coming back. Every week, hundreds of Leeds business owners, senior leaders, investors and decision-makers read Leeds Today.
An exclusive group
We’re closing the founding partner tier at six partners — one per sector. Category exclusivity is the point: your brand stands alone in its sector on a platform that every senior decision-maker in Leeds is now finding through Google.

How it compares
Leeds Today sits at position one on Google for the searches that matter most to our audience. The people you want in the room are finding us first. Established competitors charge £3,000–£10,000 for a single ad placement to reach a fraction of that audience. A Leeds Today founding partnership gives you 12 months of daily visibility, category exclusivity, and permanent association with a platform that’s compounding every month.
How it works
We don’t run banner ads, pop-ups or programmatic inventory. Every founding partnership sits naturally alongside our editorial, in a clean, trusted environment — not lost in a sea of competing advertising.
