Why I started Wildwood Living
I'm Florida born and raised, from the Winter Garden and Clermont area. But when I moved to Wildwood in 2019, I didn't know a single thing about it, and I couldn't find much online. So I went exploring: down side roads, past the farmland and historic spots, into parks and shops and businesses that still know people by name. I found a town that cares about how it grows and wants to grow together. Wildwood Living is how I share that, and local businesses are the heart of it.

“The ad on Wildwood Living has really helped our exposure to the community and the ability for others to know what we offer.”

Where your ad appears
Samples are for illustration only. They are not live ads and do not link anywhere.
Our promise to you and to readers
- Every ad and sponsored story is clearly labeled.
- Prices are right here on the page. No surprises.
- I personally review every placement before it goes live.
- Advertising never changes rankings, reviews or editorial coverage. That's what keeps readers trusting what they find here, and that trust is what makes your ad worth it.
How it works
- Choose an option and send your request.
- I'll reach out to confirm the details and answer any questions.
- Once it's approved, you pay through secure Square checkout and I schedule your placement.
Questions
- Which option is right for me?
- If you're just getting started, an Enhanced Business Profile is the best foundation. If you want to stay in front of people week after week, a sponsor spot works well. If you have a story worth telling or an event coming up, start there. Or just ask me and I'll help you pick.
- What do I need to provide for a display ad?
- A wide image (1600 × 900 pixels) without small text near the edges, a short headline, one or two lines about what you offer, and the page you want people to visit.
- Will advertising change where my business appears in search or in stories?
- No. Advertising is always labeled and never changes rankings, recommendations or editorial coverage.
- Can I talk to someone before I commit?
- Of course. Use the contact form and choose “Partnership”, and I'll get back to you personally.
Let's help your neighbors find you.
