Every way to advertise here

Six placements inside the course directory. Buy one, or let us combine them into a plan.

From $199 / month

Category Sponsorship

Own one of the ten course categories. Your course sits above the fold on that category page and in its slot on every course card inside it.

From $399 / month

Featured Course Slot

The featured row across the directory index and every category and provider page. The highest-traffic placement that is not the hub itself.

From $499 / month

Course Hub Takeover

The hero slot on /ai-courses plus a pinned position on every listing page under it. One advertiser at a time, booked by the month.

Learner Newsletter Spotlight

A dedicated block in the send that goes to people who opted in specifically for course recommendations. One spotlight per send.

Comparison & Roundup Placement

Appear on the "best course for X" and head-to-head pages, where the reader has already narrowed it to two or three and is looking for a tiebreaker.

FAQ

Questions advertisers ask

Still have a question? We usually reply within one working day.

How is this different from a Featured listing on /services/submit-course?
A listing is a permanent page for one course, bought once. Advertising is placement around the whole directory, bought by the month or by the click, and it moves you in front of people browsing courses that are not yours. Most providers list first and advertise once they know the listing converts.

Do I need a listing before I can advertise?
Yes. Every placement points at a course listing, so the course has to exist in the directory first. If you do not have one, submit it at /services/submit-course and we will start the campaign the day it publishes.

Are these rates negotiable?
The published rates are the rates. What is negotiable is the mix: if a category sponsorship gets you the same outcome for less than a hub takeover, we will tell you that rather than sell you the expensive one.

How is the category sponsorship exclusive?
One sponsor per category per month. If the category you want is taken we will tell you when it frees up and hold your place in the queue rather than quietly selling you something else.

Can I target by level or price band?
Yes. Category, level, geography, price band, audience segment and provider page are all available, and combining them is free — targeting does not carry a premium here.

What creative do I need to supply?
A logo, a headline and a short body line. If you would rather not write it, tick the box on the brief and we will draft it from your listing and send it for approval before anything goes live.

How do I know the numbers are real?
You get a live dashboard, and the figures in it are the same figures the invoice is generated from. Add a pixel or a UTM set and we report enrolments rather than just clicks.

What happens if a campaign underdelivers?
Monthly placements that miss their committed impressions get the shortfall added to the following month at no cost, and we tell you before you have to ask.

Can I cancel?
Monthly placements run to the end of the paid month and then stop; there is no rolling contract to escape.

Do you advertise competing courses in the same category?
Sponsorships are exclusive for the month. Featured slots are not — the directory exists to help people compare, and a page with one course on it is a landing page, not a directory.
