AdsBooked

Ad Management, Simplified

AdsBooked is built for newspapers and publishers who need to manage ad bookings, track performance, and control publishing schedules in one place. You get less double-entry, fewer mistakes, and reports that actually help you run the desk.

Who This Is For

Built for the realities of small and local newsrooms.

Small local newspapers

Weeklies and small dailies that need a real ad book without enterprise software.

Weeklies and shoppers

Publications that run classifieds, display ads, and legal notices and need one system.

Ad reps and desk staff

Anyone who books ads, chases copy, and needs to see what’s running and when.

Why Newspapers Choose AdsBooked

Save time—one place to book, track, and report on ads instead of spreadsheets and scraps.
Fewer missed ads and missed deadlines thanks to a clear calendar and date management.
Better reporting so you can see revenue by client, by week, and by product without guesswork.
No revenue sharing and no long-term contracts—you own your data and your relationship.
Priced for small papers: flat monthly fee per newspaper, not per user.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does setup take?

Most setups are done within a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on how much data we’re moving and how it’s currently stored. We’ll give you a timeline when we quote the one-time setup.

What about migrating our existing ad data?

We move your existing bookings and dates into AdsBooked as part of the one-time setup. Whether you’re in spreadsheets, another system, or a mix, we work from what you have and get you to a clean starting point.

What kind of support do you offer?

We’re available by email for questions and issues. We’ll get you trained on the basics and stay available so you can run your book with confidence.

Are there contracts or long-term commitments?

No. We don’t use long-term contracts. You pay month to month and can cancel anytime. We also don’t take a percentage of your ad revenue—your revenue stays yours.

Simple Pricing for Small Local Newspapers

No contracts. No revenue sharing. Just straightforward pricing that works for small newsrooms.

Monthly Software Cost

Priced per newspaper—not per user.

Plan	Cost	Good Fit For
Basic	$20 / month	Very small weeklies or one-person ad desks
Standard	$50 / month	Most local newspapers
Pro	$125 / month	Papers with multiple ad reps or steady growth

If this saves you one missed ad or a few hours a month, it’s already paid for itself.

One-Time Setup & Data Move

To keep monthly cost low, there’s a one-time setup fee based on how your current ad records are stored.

If your data is simple, setup is simple. If it’s messy, we take the time to do it right.

Your Current Setup	One-Time Cost	What This Usually Means
Spreadsheets	$300	Excel or Google Sheets
Mixed / Older Systems	$400	Several files or partial exports
Proprietary Software	$500+	Locked-in or hard-to-export systems
