Our readers subscribe because they genuinely want to know what's happening in their city — and that includes finding businesses worth supporting.
Our readers open the Digest because they trust us. When we feature your business, that trust transfers to you.
— Alex, Founder of Des Moines DigestBecome a Featured Partner
We're looking for a small group of local businesses ready to do something more than advertise — we want to help you become the trusted expert in your category.
Each season, we partner with just 5 to 10 local businesses in the Des Moines area through our Featured Partner program. This isn't a standard ad placement. It's an ongoing opportunity to show up for local families and residents as a business they can genuinely trust — and keep coming back to.
Wednesday Great Advice Edition
Every Wednesday, we dedicate a full edition to helpful advice, tips, and insights from our Featured Partners. Your business shares genuine expertise — and readers remember who gave them good advice.
- Sponsored articles, tips, or how-tos written in your voice
- Featured in a dedicated section of the Wednesday issue
- Positions you as a helpful local resource, not just an ad
Your Profile on DesMoinesExperts.com
Every Featured Partner gets a dedicated profile page on DesMoinesExperts.com — a hub where locals search for trusted businesses and advice. Your profile showcases your articles, your expertise, and links directly back to your business.
- Dedicated profile page with your branding
- All your published articles & tips archived in one place
- Direct links back to your website
- Builds lasting trust & local search presence over time
Category Exclusivity
When you become a Featured Partner, we close your category to competitors. No competing business in your space will receive advertising, featured content, or a business spotlight — for as long as you remain an active partner.
- No ads, features, or spotlights for competitors
- Exclusivity lasts as long as you're an active partner
- Only 5–10 partner spots available total
This isn't just a way to advertise — it's a way to become known. Over time, your business becomes the name people in Des Moines think of first.
— Alex, Founder of Des Moines DigestSpots are limited and go quickly. If you're interested in becoming a Featured Partner, reach out and we'll walk you through how it works.
