Get your business in front of Queenstown.
BestQueenstown is part of the NZ City Guides network — independent Top 10 lists for the places New Zealanders actually use. Featured spots, sponsored entries and network-wide campaigns are available on a first-come basis.
#1 category placement
Top spot in your Queenstown category — the first name visitors see when they arrive ready to book.
High-intent local audience
Queenstowners, NZ travellers and inbound tourists arriving from Google, already looking for what you offer.
4-city network reach
Extend across Auckland, Wellington and Rotorua for country-wide exposure from one campaign.
AI-search visibility
Structured, machine-readable listings surface in AI answer engines and search — not just classic results.
Monthly refresh
Guides are kept current for 2026 — your listing stays live, accurate and freshly re-ranked.
Clearly-badged sponsorship
Every paid placement is labelled Sponsored and sits outside the editorial Top 10 — transparent, never an ad farm.
// Placement options
- › Featured entry at the top of a single Queenstown category.
- › Sponsored slot in the partners strip on the homepage.
- › Network-wide campaign across all four NZ City Guides cities.
Flexible monthly sponsorships — enquiry-based and tailored to your category. Send the form below and we'll share current availability and options.
// Our advertising policy
Advertising buys visibility. It does not buy a ranking.
- What it buys: the hero sponsor banner, a badged partner card in the partners strip and footer, a labelled featured entry on a category page, and network-wide campaign slots.
- What it does not buy: a position in any Top 10, a higher rank, an Editor's Pick badge, or a change to what we write about you. Ranking order is editorial and is not for sale.
- How you'll spot it: every paid placement is labelled “Sponsored” or “Advertisement” on the page, and every paid outbound link carries
rel="sponsored". - Where an advertiser also appears in a category list, the entry is badged “Sponsored partner” so you always know.
// How it works
- 1. Send the inquiry form — we reply within 1 business day.
- 2. We confirm availability in your category + city.
- 3. Your listing goes live, usually within 48 hours.
