Why Advertise With Pocono Review
Reach the Pocono Community
Independent local news for the Poconos
Real Reach, Real Numbers
Our Facebook page averages 300,000 to 500,000 views a month, traffic that’s real, active, and local. In our biggest month yet, we reached nearly 1 million — that’s the audience your ad or sponsored article steps into.
That’s on top of the traffic we pull in from search and other platforms: Google, Bing, Yahoo, and DuckDuckGo, plus Reddit and X, combined average 15,000 to over 20,000 visitors a month. And unlike a single viral post, that number only grows over time: every new article we publish gets indexed and keeps pulling in search traffic indefinitely.
Every Advertiser Gets a Free Custom Graphic
No logo? No problem. Every ad package includes a custom graphic — professionally designed using premium AI tools, no watermarks — yours to keep and use anywhere: your website, business card, storefront, social media, or anywhere else you advertise. Works on desktop and mobile. No extra charge, no strings attached.
Growing With the Region
Today our heaviest coverage sits in Wayne, Pike, and Monroe counties, that’s where most of our article volume comes from. But our readership already extends across the broader Poconos, including Lackawanna, Luzerne, and Carbon counties — as we grow, our official coverage area will expand to match, meaning advertisers who join us early grow right alongside that expansion.
Built-In SEO for Advertorial Partners
Advertorial partners get more than a one-time article. We actively optimize and maintain that content around the keywords and phrases that matter most to your industry: not a one-and-done post, ongoing upkeep. Higher-value search traffic is good for the article, good for our site, and good for you.
The Credibility of Real Journalism
Whether it’s a placement on the page or a sponsored article, your business is associated with an independent local news outlet, not a generic ad network. That association carries a kind of credibility a typical ad buy doesn’t come with on its own.
A Diverse, Engaged Audience
Our coverage is genuinely broad: hyperlocal stories that reach readers across a wide range of ages, backgrounds, and interests, not one narrow demographic. And most of that reach isn’t bought through SEO or built on follower count, it comes from readers actively sharing our articles with people they know — that’s real, organic trust, not an algorithm.
More Than Advertising: Funding Real Accountability
Most local news today is shaped by what large, legacy outlets are willing to say, and just as often, by what they won’t. Bigger newsrooms depend on access: officials, institutions, and advertisers they can’t afford to upset. That pressure shows up in what doesn’t get covered, and in how carefully what does get covered is worded — and when a legacy outlet does run a story worth reading, it’s frequently locked behind a paywall, out of reach for the very community it’s supposedly serving.
Pocono Review isn’t building a business model around access. We’re building something closer to a public record, the kind of accountability reporting that exists nowhere else covering this region, free for anyone to read. No one else is doing this, at this level, for this community. When you advertise with us, you’re not just buying exposure: you’re helping fund the one place a regular person around here can go to actually find out what’s happening — the stories that get softened, buried, or paywalled everywhere else.
