Example:

Business directory listing:

Macaroni KID readers look to the business directory to find the local businesses their families need. Going above and beyond that, listing your business in the Macaroni KID Killeen Business Directory plays an important role in your website's SEO. The more sites that link back to yours, the higher search engines rank your website.

Business directory listing example:





Newsletter Introductory Note:

A short blurb right at the top of our weekly newsletter with a shoutout about your business (intro, news, exclusive discount code, etc). It's before the events and articles, so it's guaranteed to get seen by anyone who opens the email. 




Calendar listings:

It is always free to list your FREE or LOW-COST family-friendly events in the Macaroni KID Killeen calendar. Events must take place within our territory of Killeen, Harker Heights, Nolanville, Belton, Temple or closely surrounding areas.
