Why it works

Why a feature in Patch matters

A national feature is read by people everywhere and almost nobody nearby. For a business whose customers are within driving distance, local coverage is worth more, and it ranks for the searches that include a place name. Patch is how you get that at scale rather than one town at a time.

  • Businesses with a physical location
  • Service businesses serving one area
  • Anyone whose customers search with a place name

Questions

Questions about Patch

01

How do I get featured in Patch?

You choose Patch as your outlet, share your story through our questionnaire, and our editorial team writes your feature. You approve every word before it goes live, and we handle the placement from there.

02

What exactly do I get with Patch?

A written feature about you, published on Patch and permanently indexed, which you approve before it goes live. We do not state whether it runs as ordinary editorial or in a branded section, because that varies by outlet and we would rather say nothing than tell you something we have not confirmed. Ask us and we will tell you what we know.

03

How long does it take?

It depends on the publication. Each outlet runs on its own publishing schedule, and timing also depends on how quickly the draft is approved. The timeframe for your chosen publication is set out in your service agreement.

04

What if I am not happy with the draft?

You get unlimited revisions. We only publish once you are fully satisfied, and our work is backed by a money-back guarantee.

05

How many monthly visitors does Patch have?

About 20.1 million visits a month, according to figure from our placement catalogues checked in September 2026. That is traffic to the whole site, not the readership of any single article.
