We sell attention, not position. Everything below is clearly labeled as advertising and sits outside the editorial rankings — that boundary is the whole reason anyone trusts the list.
⚠ Where we actually stand
Tacobout.town is pre-launch. We do not have audited traffic figures, and we are not going to invent any. If you want numbers before you spend money, ask and we will send you whatever our analytics actually show on the day you ask — including if the answer is small.
Display advertising on this site is served through Google AdSense and is pending publisher approval. Direct-sold placements below are available now.
1. Claimed shop page — $5 / year
The one we actually recommend to restaurants. You take ownership of your page on the KC rankings and keep it accurate: hours, menu, ordering links, photos, your own story in your own words.
- Owner-controlled hours and menu links, so customers stop calling to ask
- Direct ordering links, in preference to third-party delivery apps
- Photos and a story section attributed to you
- Notification when a reader review posts on your page
It does not change your ranking. It never will. The fee covers our administration cost — we make our money from ads, not from restaurants.
2. Promoted listings
A paid placement inside a rankings area, carrying a visible paid-placement label and visually distinct styling. Promoted listings are excluded from the numbered rankings and never displace an editorial entry — they sit alongside the list, plainly marked.
Available by the month for Kansas City. Ask for current availability and rate.
3. Neighborhood guide sponsorship
Sponsorship of a specific guide — Southwest Boulevard & the Westside, for example — with a labeled sponsor credit at the top and bottom of the guide. Sponsors get no editorial input into the guide's contents and see it at the same time as everyone else.
4. The Weekly Tortilla newsletter
One labeled sponsor slot per issue. The newsletter list is early and small; we will tell you exactly how small before you buy anything.
What we will not sell
- A ranking, a rank change, or removal of a competitor
- Advance review of editorial copy about your business
- Deletion of a legitimate negative reader review
- Advertising built to be mistaken for editorial content
- Placement that is not labeled as advertising
These are not negotiating positions. They are in the ethics policy and they are why the list is worth advertising next to.
