Welcome to The Central App portal

We make Google work for you! The Central App is mobile first (Google loves that) but we're also online. That means Google can't help but notice you when you advertise with us.

Because we're digital, we don't limit what you want to say. That means - no word or picture limits.

We cost much less than print media and we're on the go, at people's fingertips, 24/7.

Pretty awesome huh?!

Mobile-savvy smart links put your business in the hands of locals like never before!

That's one-click links to Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and LinkedIn PLUS your choice of any and all of the following; your website, your booking or ticketing site, your video, your reviews, your location and things like your webcam or weather updates.

When you choose to display your location, The Central App provides in-app, step-by-step navigation to your door.

That puts the power in our readers' hands. Power that you're right there to harness.

Your Local Focus listing with us is your ticket to massive discounts on everything we offer.

That means a minimum 20% discount on all our other advertising options and exclusive member only packages.

Throughout the year, we give our members bonus offers, special events and first right of refusal for the most sought after advertising real estate.

As part of Local Focus, members get a bespoke text link to your business - in the News!

By far, the most-read section of The Central App, the News text ads actively promote your business to local people.

We take care to keep the balance, we don't want to annoy our readers with too many ads but we work with you to make your in-News ad as enticing as possible.
