DGWGO.com is one of Scotland’s strongest regional platforms – trusted since 2012, linked by over 2,000 websites, and ranking high on Google where it matters most.

Why It’s Different

Standard sponsor ads still run across DGWGO. But only Partners get something unique — the Partner Box: your brand, top and bottom of every article in your slot, plus on the archive hub that lists them all.

It’s baked into DGWGO — not bolted on.

Partnerships run on a monthly basis and include the full DGWGO sponsorship benefits. Simple, transparent, and easy to manage.

What’s a Partner Box?

Your Partner Box is your built-in showcase across DGWGO — your name, logo, and direct link displayed on every article in your slot.

Articles: your box is the first and last thing every reader sees.

Example: Top of each article

Example: Bottom of each article

Archives: your box headlines the hub page listing every article in your category.

Example: archive page — the hub that lists every article in your category

FAQs

What’s a Headline Partnership?

An exclusive slot where your Partner Box appears on every article in that category — past, present, and future — at both the top and bottom.

How is this different from sponsorship?

Sponsors share ad space. Partners don’t.
Your Partner Box owns the headline and footer — the first and last thing readers see.

How many partner slots are available?

Only seven. One slot, one partner. Once it’s taken, it’s locked.

What do I get as a Partner?

  • Your Partner Box on every article in your slot — top and bottom, past and future.
  • Archive coverage — your Partner Box headlines the archive page (the hub listing all articles in that category).
  • Homepage link — your organisation’s name appears under your category heading on the DGWGO homepage, with a live link to your site.
  • All standard sponsor benefits included — high-impact web ads and Facebook shares.
