How to Get Featured in the Vancouver Sun
Vancouver Sun draws about 1.6 million monthly visits, holds a domain rating of 83, and publishes in four to six weeks.
The west coast, covered from the west coast
The Vancouver Sun has published since 1912 and is British Columbia's main daily, covering news, business, property and city life at about 1.6 million monthly visits.
Canadian national media is heavily Toronto-centred, and BC business is frequently covered from three thousand kilometres away or not at all. For a Vancouver or BC business, the provincial paper reaches the local market, the local investors and the local regulators in a way national coverage does not.
Property is a particularly strong subject here, given the market.
The routes in
BC business and economy news.
Property and development, heavily covered.
Local expert commentary.
City and provincial stories.
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
Four to six weeks. Slower than the market average of roughly two weeks, so start early and do not hang a fixed launch date on it.
Build your own review time into that rather than onto the end of it.
Links and indexing
Nofollow. No ranking authority passes, which is normal at a domain rating of 83. Buy it for the audience and the name, not for your rankings.
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 BC connection.
Promotional copy.
Claims about the local market that readers would know to be wrong.
Who it suits
Vancouver and British Columbia businesses. Property developers and agents. Resource and technology companies in the province. Professional services with a BC client base.
The short version
1.6 million monthly visits, domain rating 83, nofollow, four to six weeks. British Columbia's own paper, for a market national coverage treats as remote.

Frequently asked questions
01How do you get featured in Vancouver Sun?
Three routes: pitch an editor directly, be quoted as an expert in a piece they are already writing, or use a placement service. We write the article, you approve every word, and we secure the placement. Vancouver Sun draws about 1.6 million monthly visits and publishes in four to six weeks.
02How long does it take to get published in Vancouver Sun?
About four to six weeks from approval to publication, against a market average of roughly two weeks. Your own review sits inside that window rather than after it.
03Does Vancouver Sun give a do-follow link?
Vancouver Sun marks its outbound links nofollow, so no ranking authority passes. It is bought for the audience and the name. It is still indexed and still read by AI engines, which cite by content rather than by link attribute.
04Why use a provincial paper instead of a national one?
Because Canadian national media is heavily Toronto-centred and British Columbia business is often covered from a distance or not covered at all. The Vancouver Sun reaches the local market, local investors and local regulators directly, which national coverage of the province does not.
