Advertising in Open Caerleon

When advertising is permitted, how Local Spotlight approval works and what every Open Caerleon business advert must include.

The headline rule

Advertising is permitted Friday, Saturday and Sunday

Ordinary business advertising should not be submitted outside this period.

How to advertise

  1. 1

    Register on Local Spotlight

    Submit your genuine local business listing at LocalSpotlight.wales for approval.

  2. 2

    Wait for approval

    Listings are checked so businesses have a consistent, verified route into the group.

  3. 3

    Keep your listing URL

    Once approved, you will receive the URL for your Local Spotlight listing.

  4. 4

    Create your normal advert

    Include your own graphic, photos, website, booking link, telephone number, prices and offers.

  5. 5

    Include the approved URL

    Every business advert posted in Open Caerleon must include its Local Spotlight listing URL.

What counts as advertising?

Advertising is not determined only by whether a post uses the words “advert” or “business”. A post may be advertising when its purpose is to promote something commercially.

  • A business, paid service or commercial product
  • A paid activity, class, appointment or availability
  • Bookings, offers or business events
  • Commercial services provided at an event
  • Business contact details intended to generate work

Ask the admin team before posting. We would rather answer your question first than decline a post afterwards.
