✦ SOLIHULL SPOTLIGHT · FOR BUSINESS
Help more people in Solihull
discover your business
Solihull Spotlight helps local businesses, venues, charities and community organisations get seen by people who live, work, shop and spend time across Solihull.
Whether you're launching something new, promoting an event, building awareness or simply want more local people to know what you do, we'd love to hear your story.
✦ WHY IT MATTERS
Local businesses deserve
to be noticed
Running a local business is hard enough without having to constantly fight for attention online.
Social media can feel noisy. Flyers can be hit and miss. Ads can be expensive. And sometimes, even brilliant local businesses are still unknown to people just a few streets away.
Solihull Spotlight exists to help change that.
We share positive, useful and genuinely local content that helps residents discover more of what's happening across the borough — including the businesses, people and places that make Solihull special.
✦ WHO WE WORK WITH

✦ HOW WE CAN HELP
How Solihull Spotlight can help
Every business is different, so we shape our support around what you’re trying to achieve.
Build local awareness
For businesses who want more people in Solihull to know who they are, what they do and why they matter.
Promote something specific
For launches, events, seasonal campaigns, offers, openings, workshops or new services.
Tell your story
For businesses with a strong local angle, founder story, community mission or interesting reason behind what they do.
Stay front of mind
For businesses who want consistent local visibility over time rather than a one-off post.
✦ WORKING TOGETHER
What working together
can look like
Depending on your goals, we may be able to support you through newsletter features, Instagram content, sponsored local recommendations, business spotlights, event promotion, launch support, community partnerships, local guides, roundups and future directory features.
Every collaboration is shaped around what you’re trying to achieve, so the best place to start is by telling us a little about your business.
✦ A BETTER WAY
A more natural way
to be seen locally
We believe local promotion works best when it feels useful to the reader.
That might mean introducing your business through a story, sharing a genuinely helpful recommendation, including you in a local guide, promoting a specific event, or creating content that gives people a reason to visit, book, enquire or remember you.
“Help local people discover good local businesses in a way that feels natural, trusted and relevant.”
✦ NO PRESSURE
Not sure what you need yet?
That’s completely fine. Tell us a little about your business and what you’re trying to grow, and we’ll suggest a few ideas.
Good fit, not forced fit
We only want to work with businesses and organisations where we think Solihull Spotlight can genuinely help. If we don’t think we’re the right fit, we’ll say so.
