FAQ
Common questions
Why "Founding Partner" rates and not standard CPM pricing?
We're early. Founding rates are 50% off our rate card and locked for 12 months — even after BestInCali scales to 10K monthly visitors. Bet on growth, lock in below-market pricing forever.
How big is your audience right now?
About 250 monthly unique visitors as of May 2026, growing ~30% month-over-month. 88% of readers are outside Colombia — UK and US digital nomads researching their move. If you want volume today, look elsewhere. If you want to reach the right reader before they arrive in Cali, that's us.
What's your editorial firewall?
Advertising never influences editorial coverage. Sofia (partnerships) and Valentina (editorial) operate independently. Sponsored content is clearly labeled. We will turn down ads that conflict with our editorial standards — including any business with a serious health, safety, or labor complaint.
What payment methods do you accept?
Stripe (card, bank debit), Colombian bank transfer (PSE / Bancolombia), and Wise. USD or COP. Invoiced monthly in advance.
What's the creative approval process?
You send creative 5 business days before launch. We review for fit (matches our tone, doesn't mislead readers) and ship. Standard cancellation: 30 days notice.
Can I run a one-off campaign instead of a monthly slot?
Yes — sponsored articles and newsletter sponsorships can be booked one-off. Display placements (banner, sidebar, featured listing) are monthly minimum.
