Who reads it

Ordinary Australian households working out how to electrify and cut their power bills: whether rooftop solar pays, which battery rebate applies, what an EV really costs to run at home, whether a heat pump beats gas. They arrive on the questions that end in a purchase, and they come here because every figure, every rebate rule and every price is dated and linked to its primary source. We do not publish audience figures we cannot stand behind, and we will not quote you an inflated one; if reach matters to your decision, ask and we will tell you honestly where the site is at.

Two ways to advertise

Clearly labelled display advertising. A defined advertising slot on the site, marked as advertising and kept separate from the journalism. It is your message in your words. It does not sit inside a story pretending to be one, and it never changes what we cover or how we cover it.

Sponsored content. A piece with a commercial arrangement behind it, written and fact-checked by us to exactly the standard of everything else on the site, and labelled as sponsored wherever it appears. Every figure in it still carries its date and links its source. This works when there is a real, true and genuinely useful story to tell: a product that does what it says, a rebate a reader would be glad to understand, work you have actually done. It does not work as a page of adjectives.

What we will not do

This is a product-and-money beat with natural advertisers, which is exactly why the line matters most here. We do not write fake or paid-positive reviews, and no advertiser can buy a favourable review, a star rating or a place on a list: we will never run a "best solar installer" ranking that money could tilt. An arrangement buys a clearly labelled placement, never favourable coverage, never a soft edit of our reporting, and never a say in what we recommend to a household. Anything that would require us to overstate a saving, misstate a rebate, or hide a commercial interest gets a polite no and a link to how the site works.

Disclosure, every time

Anything with a commercial relationship behind it, including any affiliate arrangement, is disclosed as such, in plain words, where it appears. That protects you as much as the reader: honestly disclosed advertising that meets a real standard is worth more than a plant a reader can smell. It is also simply the law we work under, and we would keep the rule regardless.

Rates and how to enquire

We tailor advertising to the business and the campaign rather than selling a fixed package, and we are glad to talk it through, including a discount for not-for-profits and community energy groups. There is no obligation in asking. Use the advertising enquiry form, tell us a little about your business and what you have in mind, and we will come back to you.
