How to Get Featured in Toronto Life
Toronto Life draws about 1.2 million monthly visits, holds a domain rating of 79, passes a do-follow link, and publishes in one to two weeks.
A city magazine with real standing
Toronto Life covers the city: restaurants, property, culture, people and long-form reporting on Toronto itself. About 1.2 million monthly visits with a do-follow link.
City magazines are often dismissed as listings, and this one is not. It publishes serious long-form journalism alongside its service content, which gives coverage there weight with an audience that is affluent, local and engaged.
It is also far faster than the Postmedia papers: one to two weeks against four to six.
The routes in
Restaurants and food, its most-read subject.
Property and neighbourhoods, closely covered.
Profiles of Toronto people and businesses.
Culture and city life.
A placed feature, written and approved by you before it runs. That is what we handle, and it is a different product from an editor there choosing to write about you.
How long it takes
One to two weeks. About average. Plan for the top of the range rather than the bottom, and remember your own approval sits inside the window rather than after it.
Links and indexing
Do-follow, at a domain rating of 79. That is uncommon at this size: across our catalogue the larger a publication is, the less likely it is to pass authority, which is the whole finding in which publications give do-follow links.
It indexes and AI engines read it, so the piece works as a citation when someone asks an assistant about you, not only as a link.
What gets turned down
Stories with no Toronto dimension.
Businesses that cannot be visited or used by a reader.
Claims about the local market that would not stand.
Who it suits
Toronto restaurants, hotels and retail. Property developers and agents. Professional services with affluent local clients. Founders and personalities in the city. Anyone wanting a Toronto placement with a link and a short timeline.
The short version
1.2 million monthly visits, domain rating 79, do-follow, one to two weeks. The city magazine with real editorial standing, and three times faster than the broadsheets.
