Advertise on U.S. Pet Groomers
Four different things, and they are not the same product
People reach this page wanting four quite different things, so here they are separately. Two are advertising and two are your own listing. Only one of the four renews.
| What | How you buy it | Artwork | Reporting | Billing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sitewide banner | Arranged with us | Yours, custom | Clicks reported | Monthly |
| Town banner | Instant, self-serve | Fixed, ours | None | Monthly |
| Claim your listing | Instant, self-serve | Your photographs | None | One time |
| Add your shop | Instant, self-serve | Your photographs | None | One time |
The sitewide banner
Arranged with us, not an instant orderThe banner directly below the header, on every page we publish: every groomer listing, every town, county and state page, every breed and guide page, every article, and the home page. Not a section of the site. All of it.
Sold by the month, and while you have it the sitewide slot is yours alone. It is never rotated between advertisers and never shared.
Your own artwork
The sitewide banner is custom. The picture is yours, not ours. Send us two images, one wide for desktop and one shaped for phones, because a wide banner squeezed onto a phone looks like a mistake. Send one and we will make the other. Or tell us what you want it to say and we will put the whole thing together for you.
It can point wherever you like: your website, your ordering page, a seasonal offer, a phone number. You can change it during the month and changes are usually live within minutes.
You get the numbers
Every click is counted and reported to you, by month and by day, for your whole run. Ask at any point and we will send the current figures rather than making you wait for month end.
- Measured, not estimated. Clicks are recorded when they happen. Visitors using an ad blocker are not counted, so the true figure is ours or a little higher, never lower.
- Ask what the traffic is before you commit. We will tell you honestly rather than printing a flattering number here. If it is not worth your money yet, we would rather say so.
What it costs
The rate is set against what the slot actually delivers, not a sticker price. It reflects the traffic the site is carrying at the time, and as the site grows the rate follows it. Billed monthly, nothing locked in, no long contract: take it for a season, a year, or one holiday.
This one is not an instant purchase. There is no checkout for it and nothing is automated. We handle it personally, because the artwork, the rate and the availability all need a conversation first.
Who it suits: a salon that wants to be seen first in its own market, a group or chain wanting national coverage, a grooming product or equipment supplier, a training school, a mobile grooming franchise, or anyone else selling to people already looking for a groomer. It is open to all of them.
Tell us your business name and where you are, and we will come back with the rate, what the traffic looks like behind it, and when the slot is next free.
A banner on your own town's page
Instant, buy it yourselfMost grooming salons do not want to advertise in forty-nine states they cannot deliver to. So every one of our 10,641 town and city pages has its own banner slot, separate from the sitewide one and separate from each other.
A town banner appears on that town's page and nowhere else. Buy the Flagstaff slot and it shows to people reading the list of Flagstaff groomers. It does not appear in the next county, on the breed guides, or on the home page. That is the point of it: you pay for the one page where your customers actually are.
From $9 a month
Priced by the size of the town, from $9 a month for a small town to $79 for the largest cities. The price for your town is shown before you commit to anything.
- Take as many towns as you like in one go. Tick the town you are in, the six you deliver to, or every town in the county, and check out once. It is one subscription and one monthly payment however many you take, not one per town.
- One advertiser per town, first come first served. The slot is not shared, not rotated and not auctioned. Once a town is yours it stays yours for as long as you keep the subscription running: nobody can outbid you for it and we will not resell it over your head. If somebody takes your town first, all we can do is tell you when it comes free.
- Cancel it yourself, any time, from your own account. No email to us and no notice period. Your banner runs to the end of the month you have paid for.
Three things that make it cheap
These are the differences from the sitewide banner above, and they are the reason this one costs what it does.
- The picture is fixed and cannot be changed. Every town banner uses our artwork. You choose the headline, the second line, the button text and where it links to. There is nothing to upload, and no logo or photograph of your own.
- No click reporting. We do not track and report per-town statistics, and we say so plainly rather than quietly not mentioning it. At this price the reporting would cost more than the banner. You are buying the placement: a link straight to your shop, above the list, on the page your customers are already reading.
- Nobody handles it but you. It is automatic. Your wording is checked within seconds and the banner goes live as soon as the subscription starts.
The sitewide banner still runs at the top of those pages, so a town slot is not exclusivity over the whole page. Yours sits lower down, directly above the list of shops, which is the part people came to read. You can see exactly where: open your own town's page in the directory and look above the groomer list. Any town without an advertiser is showing a placeholder there now.

Your own listing is a different thing entirely
Cheaper than either banner, and neither of these is a subscription
Claim your listing
$9.99, one timeYour shop is probably already in the directory. Claiming it lets you control what it says.
- Opening hours and your last appointment of the day
- Whether you take cats, any weight limit, cage free
- Services, specialties, certifications, payment methods
- Up to eight photographs of your own work
- Your own description in place of the one we wrote
- Correct your web address, which matters if we have been unable to reach it and it has stopped showing
A one-time fee. It is not a subscription, it does not renew, and nothing is ever charged again. There is nothing to cancel.
Add your shop
$9.99, one timeNot in the directory at all? Add it. It then works exactly like a claimed listing, with the same control over what it says.
- Search by phone number first, because most shops are already here under a name they no longer use
- If yours genuinely is not listed, you can add it
- Everything a claimed listing gets, from the moment it is added
Also a one-time fee, and also not a subscription. Nothing renews and nothing is charged again.
The listing and a banner work together, and plenty of shops take both: the listing so their own page is right, and a banner when they want to be seen ahead of everyone else's.
What no advertising here buys
Worth being direct, because these are the first things anyone reasonably assumes.
- It does not move you up the listings. Groomers are listed alphabetically and nothing changes that. A banner is a banner.
- It is not editorial. Nobody can pay to be written about, reviewed, featured in a guide, or left out of one.
- It is not shown during checkout. Banners are hidden on our own payment pages, so nobody is pulled away mid-transaction. That applies to your advertisement as much as ours.
- You must be the business, or authorized by it. See the terms of service. Do not claim or advertise for a shop that is not yours.
