One good U.P. story every day, read by the people who live here. This is what it costs to put your name beside it.
The last 7 days
Reach, and the reel record
The last 28 days, 6 September to 3 October 2026
What the page did
Watch time was 53 days 23 hours, up 8.5% on the 28 days before. The reel record is in the 7-day section above. Reach moves month to month with what the news gives us. These are the most recent full 28 days, not an average or a best month, and every sponsor gets the same figures for their own posts.

Who is on the other end
Where they live
Meta ranks Marquette, Ishpeming, Iron Mountain, Escanaba, Gwinn and Sault Ste. Marie as the top cities among followers, and all ten of its top cities are in Michigan. 97% of followers are in the United States. Source: Meta Business Insights, Audience, Demographics, lifetime, read 1 October 2026.
How old they are
Three in four are 45 or older (76.8%, calculated from Meta’s age bands). They own the house, the truck and the camp, and they are the ones who call a contractor instead of watching a video about it.

Monthly placements run three months at a time, because one post is a lottery ticket and three months is a test you can read. Month to month after that.
The part most rate cards leave out
What sponsorship does not buy
Every sponsored post and article is labelled as one. Readers can tell the difference at a glance, which is the only reason the label is worth anything to you.
Sponsorship does not buy news coverage, and it does not buy a correction, a takedown, or a kind word in a story about your trade. If you are ever in the news, your sponsorship has no bearing on how we cover it. That rule is the whole product. An audience that suspects the page is for sale is worth nothing to the next business that buys a post.
We will also say no to your money if the fit is wrong. There is one sponsor per trade at the Presenting tier, and we would rather turn down a sale than run something the audience will hold against us both.
