Iowa Monthly is read by Iowans looking for something to do this weekend, a permit they need, or a business they can trust. Business Members get published in it every month — and pushed to our Iowa Facebook community and email list the day it runs.

The Expert Column
Our most requested feature. If you’re a realtor, an accountant, an insurance agent, a contractor, an attorney, or anyone whose customers ask you the same questions every week, you can take your monthly feature as a standing column under your own name — a market update, a seasonal reminder, an answer to the question you field a dozen times a month.
We handle the writing from a ten-minute phone call. You approve it before it runs. It publishes with your byline, your photo, and a link to your business. Over a year you build something an ad can’t buy: a body of work with your name on it, in a publication Iowans read.
Featured Members choose their format — the same column every month, or a rotating mix of profiles, owner Q&As, and seasonal features. Same price either way.
Why This Works
We don’t sell impressions. We publish you, then put what we published in front of the Iowans already gathered in our community — the same people asking every week who they should hire, where they should eat, and what’s worth doing this weekend.
Everything on this site is owned outright, from the platform to the audience. No middleman takes a cut, no auction sets your price, and nothing about your placement changes because a policy shifted somewhere else.
