Frequently Asked Questions
Can I buy ads online without scheduling a consultation?
Yes! Our self-service page lets you purchase banner ads (from $195/mo) and sponsored articles ($995) directly via secure checkout. Your banner can be live within 48 hours, or your article published within 10-14 business days.
What's the minimum commitment?
Banner ads and lead generation require a 30-day minimum—no long-term contracts. After 30 days, campaigns renew monthly until you cancel. Sponsored articles and Business Pages are one-time/annual purchases.
Do you write the content or do I provide it?
We write everything—professionally, with industry expertise and SEO optimization. Unlimited revisions until you're satisfied. You can also submit your own content for review if preferred.
What's the difference between rotating and static banner placements?
Rotating: Your banner shares a position with 2-4 other advertisers (cost-effective). Static: Exclusive positioning—only your brand appears (maximum impression share). Both options available for all formats.
How quickly can I launch?
Banner ads: Live within 48 hours of purchase. Sponsored articles: 10-14 business days from brief approval. Custom campaigns: 7-10 business days after consultation.
Do you provide analytics or tracking?
HDJ does not provide built-in analytics. Advertisers should implement their own tracking (Google Analytics, UTM parameters, conversion pixels). We deliver leads to your inbox/CRM within 24 hours.
What's the difference between a Business Page and a Sponsored Article?
A Business Page is a permanent company profile/directory listing ($1,295/year). A Sponsored Article is a full editorial piece for product launches or thought leadership ($995 one-time). Many advertisers use both.
Can I combine multiple advertising types?
Absolutely—this is often the most effective strategy. Combine banners for visibility, sponsored articles for authority, and lead generation for captures. Start with one service and add others anytime.
