Advertise with Meridian
High-intent audiences in ten expensive categories. Clear rules about what money buys — and what it never buys.
You can buy attention. You cannot buy a ranking, a score, a badge, an adjective, or a link that passes ranking signals.
Audience categories
| Brand | Reader | Typical advertiser |
|---|---|---|
| ShieldWise | Owners buying their own commercial cover | Carriers, brokers, MGAs, risk software |
| ClauseCraft | Founders at formation and first-contract stage | Formation services, registered agents, legal SaaS |
| LedgerLift | Operators choosing banking and lending | Business banks, card issuers, lenders, accounting software |
| HardenHQ | Companies with no security team | MDR, backup, identity, password management, MSPs |
| StackSift | Buyers evaluating team software | B2B SaaS, AI tooling, integration platforms |
| RateBeacon | Borrowers and refinancers | Lenders, brokers, card issuers, credit tools |
| BenefitWell | Employees, freelancers and HR buyers | Health plans, HSA custodians, benefits platforms |

Formats
- Display. Size-reserved slots (leaderboard, in-article, sidebar MPU). No interstitials, no content-blocking overlays, no ads inside comparison tables.
- Newsletter sponsorship. One labelled sponsor slot per issue, outside the editorial section.
- Affiliate. Standard network or direct programmes. Inclusion follows editorial scoring only.
- Lead generation. Consent-first forms; the reader sees who will contact them before submitting.
- Sponsored resources. A clearly labelled tool, template or report, marked "Sponsored" in the headline area, with any outbound links tagged so they do not pass ranking signals.
Not for sale
- Position in a "best" table, or an editorial score.
- Removal of a competitor, or of a critical but accurate statement.
- Editorial links that pass PageRank.
- Advance sight of a review or ranking change.
- Reader data. We never sell or rent it; lead data goes only to the named partner the reader consented to.
Brand safety and quality
We decline categories that conflict with reader interest: payday and high-cost short-term credit, debt-relief operators without a verifiable licence, unregistered investment offers, and any advertiser that will not name the entity contacting the reader.
Measurement
Reporting covers impressions, viewability, click-through, assisted conversions and, for lead generation, accept/reject reasons — so both sides can see quality, not just volume.

Commercial enquiries: partners@metax.academy. Commercial staff cannot route you to editorial, and editorial cannot quote you a rate card — that separation is the point.
