The essentials

Who this is for
Local business owners choosing between mail and search ads
City Deals is a printed magazine sent to local homes. Google ads are digital links that appear on a screen when people search for things. They are two different formats. Ask us what we offer today and what fits your goals. You can pick the one that fits your goals best.
How the mail works
We plan to mail a physical magazine to residential areas in South Florida. The current areas are Kendall, Westchester, and Miami Lakes. Planned reach: about 10,000 homes per area. Confirm coverage and the next mailing with our team. Ask us to confirm the next mailing date for your area.
Every ad in the magazine has two QR codes. People scan them with a normal phone camera. The VIDEO code shows a 30-second clip of your shop. The DEAL code shows your offer with buttons for calls and maps.
How Google ads and social media work
City Deals also offers digital services, including Meta advertising, social media, websites and Google Business Profile support. Your proposal confirms which services are included in your campaign and the price for that scope.
- Pick mail if you want to reach 10,000 local homes directly.
- Pick Google help if you want to show up in search results.
- Pick mail if you want a 30-second video tied to a paper ad.
- Pick extra services if you need a new website or social posts.
