How it works

From enquiry to published in four steps.

1

Message us on Instagram with which package you'd like, and your content if you are supplying it.

2

We confirm

We review and approve your content, or agree a filming date, then send a secure PayPal payment link.

3

You pay

Full payment by PayPal before scheduling. We then confirm an estimated timeframe.

4

We publish

Publication date and time are chosen by Surrey Extra for the best performance.

Good to know
  • On the £25, £50 and £200 packages, all advertising content must be supplied by you, and you must own or hold the rights to it.
  • Filming and editing are included only on the £700 We Film, Edit & Create Your Business Content package. On all other packages we don't create, film or edit content, and we may make minor caption edits for spelling and grammar only.
  • All communication is handled through the Instagram app — we don't provide a phone number, and Instagram voice/video calls aren't supported.
  • All advertising is subject to approval before publication.

Video requirements

Getting the best results.

For the strongest performance on Surrey Extra, advertising videos should meet these standards. We reserve the right to refuse content that doesn't.

  • 15–45 seconds in length (60 seconds maximum)
  • Filmed vertically (9:16)
  • Supplied in HD (1080p) or 4K quality
  • Well lit, clear and stable
  • Professionally presented and free from watermarks
  • No copyrighted music unless you have permission to use it
  • No third-party branding without permission

Advertising policy

You're paying for exposure — not promises.

Businesses advertise with us for promotional visibility. Performance is influenced by many factors outside our control, including Instagram's algorithm and audience behaviour, so we don't guarantee results. If a platform removes or limits a post, no refund is provided.

Questions & answers

Advertising with Surrey Extra, explained.

How do I advertise my business in Redhill, Reigate or Horley?

Send us a message on Instagram (@surreyextranews) telling us which package you'd like and attaching your content. We review it, send a secure PayPal link, and once payment is received we schedule your post or story.

How much does it cost to advertise with Surrey Extra?

A Story Advert is £25 and an Instagram Post is £50. To publish your own business, charity or community story on our website, Publish Your Story on Surrey Extra is £50. The Ultimate Business Feature, which adds an article on our website, is £200. If you'd rather we did the filming, We Film, Edit & Create Your Business Content is £700 per session — we come to your business, film for up to four hours and deliver a finished Reel for your own social media. Payment is by PayPal only, in full before your advert is scheduled.

What areas does Surrey Extra cover?

Our audience is concentrated across Redhill, Reigate and Horley — three neighbouring Surrey towns with a combined population of around 80,000 residents. Around 68% of Redhill Extra followers are based in Redhill, Reigate, Horley, Guildford, Epsom and Woking, with Redhill alone at 55%.

How big is the Surrey Extra audience?

Surrey Extra has 7,169 Instagram followers with a 98% UK audience. The last 30 days alone delivered 882.4K views, and at peak we've reached 679,692 unique accounts over 90 days.

What's the difference between the advertising packages?

A Story Advert is an image on our Instagram Story that stays live for 24 hours. An Instagram Post is one to three images published to our feed for a minimum of 30 days. Publish Your Story on Surrey Extra is an article you supply, published on its own page on our website, with no Instagram or Facebook promotion. We Film, Edit & Create Your Business Content is the only package where we create the content: we visit your business, film on location and deliver a finished Reel for your own social media accounts. The Ultimate Business Feature combines a feed image and a Story image with a dedicated article about your business on the Surrey Extra website — featured for 30 days, then kept in our archive permanently.

Do you guarantee views, leads or sales?

No. You're paying for exposure and visibility, not guaranteed results. Performance depends on Instagram's algorithm and audience behaviour, which sit outside our control.

What content do I need to provide?

For the Story Advert, Instagram Post and Ultimate Business Feature you supply the images. For Publish Your Story on Surrey Extra you supply the finished article and image. You must own the rights to everything you send. We may make minor caption edits for spelling and grammar. The only exception is We Film, Edit & Create Your Business Content — there we come to you, film and edit the Reel, so you don't need to supply anything.

How does the filming package work?

Once payment is received we agree a filming date that suits you, subject to our availability. We visit your business, film for up to four hours and edit the footage into one finished Reel. The Reel is yours to post on your own social media accounts. Two edit revisions are free, and any extra revision after that is £25. Filming in Redhill, Reigate and Horley is included; other areas can be arranged.

Can any type of business advertise?

Most local businesses can — cafés, restaurants, tradespeople, salons, gyms, retailers and service providers. We don't accept certain categories (such as gambling, vaping or adult content); see our Advertising Terms for the full list.
