Targeted Internet Advertising

Officially Wisconsin makes it easy to get your business on the Internet, and it's affordable... as little as $24 for a whole year... And you don't have to fuss with a "Home Page" or the cost to produce one.

Our specialty is linking your business advertising geographically on the Internet to any of over 270 Wisconsin counties and communities, or to the entire state of Wisconsin. National listings too!

You place your advertising where your customers will look... locally, county, state, national (geographically). Furthermore, your advertising is indexed topically (Yellow Pages), so Internet travelers from down the street, across the country or around the globe, looking for you or the services you provide can find you and your business message. If your business already has a web site, your customers don't even have to remember your Internet Web Page address! Your customers will always be able to find you with a link in the Officially Wisconsin Yellow Pages.

Officially Wisconsin gets your business message easily and affordably on the Internet. All we need to know is:

  • the geographic locations you want to target
  • your Yellow Pages advertising classifications
  • what you want to tell your customers

Those three things and about 10 minutes of your time (30 minutes max) will get you connected to Officially Wisconsin where you'll be noticed.  We will accept your order and place your advertising within 5 days (usually within 24 hours).

Advertising Services

Business Web Link 

For those businesses that already have a business web site or "Home Page."  A Business Web Link connects your existing business Internet web site to Officially Wisconsin's Yellow Pages indexed advertising. It's a great way to increase exposure to your web site and make it easy for customers to find you.   And, you can duplicate the ad for other communities, and counties, or place in our Wisconsin or national listing. You get to choose the Yellow Pages classification(s) under which you want to advertise. Business Web Link example.

Business Card  

Get your business on the Internet fast with Business Card.  You don't even need a web site!  Tell your customers about your business... where you are, what you offer, special promotions, how to reach you, and whatever is important to tell your customers, and potential customers.  And, you can duplicate the ad for other communities, and counties, or place in our Wisconsin or national listing. You get to choose the Yellow Pages classification(s) under which you want to advertise. Business Card example.

Banner Ad

Place your business logo or concise business message at the top of our web pages.  Link to your existing business Internet web site.  Maximize your business message exposure to anyone geographically looking where you want to advertise. Banner Ad example.  Banner Ad technical details.

Ad Changes

You may change your Business Web Link or Business Card advertisement, simply by describing the old ad to be changed, and the changes to be made.  Fee for any change is a flat $15 for any same ad insertion(s).  The fee is to cover our costs of special handling the requested change.  Sorry, but the fee does not extend your advertisement subscription.  (Please check to see if simply placing a new annual ad to replace the old advertisement may be more cost effective for you).   You may enter the changes on line here with a credit card, or send the changes US mail with check or credit card information, or fax us the information with credit card information.  Click to Change Ad On-line Now, or click for Change Order Form (paper form) you can print out.

To modify or change your Banner Ad, email us (or give us a call).

Non-Profit Support

We support community non-profit and similar groups throughout Wisconsin.  We provide 20% of a new customer advertising sale to community and non-profit groups designated by you.  This occurs during the ordering process.  See our current donations tally. For more info (click) regarding community and non-profit group support.

Web Page Design

We do not do web page design. If your business wants to develop their own Web page(s), we suggest you look in the Officially Wisconsin Yellow Pages under "Internet Services.

Banner Ad Technical Details
