Before you buy
How quickly can a campaign start?
Usually within a few business days. Once your creative is approved it goes straight into the live rotation. Sponsored articles take a little longer since we write them with you.
What reporting do I get?
Real numbers from our own ad system: actual impressions served and actual clicks recorded on longislandwave.com. No third-party trackers and no modeled estimates.
Can you make the ad for me?
Yes. Send your logo and the essentials and we will design the placement with you. You approve everything before it runs.
Is sponsored content labeled?
Always. Every ad carries a Sponsored label and every sponsored article says so plainly, which is why readers trust what they see here.
What can't be advertised?
Anything misleading. We review every campaign before it runs and do not accept claims a business cannot stand behind.
