Twin Cities companies searching for a way into the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal find a generic advertising directory that lists the journal without explaining anything, and a templated catalog page that describes it with figures, including traffic numbers, that no page substantiates. Nobody tells a Twin Cities buyer what the article product is, who reads it, or how to buy one. This page does. It covers whether your company can be published in the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal, what the article is, who reads it, how publishing works step by step, what decides the price, and the one email that starts it.
The short answer: yes, your company can be published in the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal
Yes. Your company can be published in the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal through a paid, labelled article placement in the Twin Cities edition, which sits on bizjournals.com under the Twin Cities address. This is not pitching news, not submitting a column and hoping, and not buying a display ad. It is a specific article about your company, in this specific journal, reviewed by the journal before it is published, and permanent once it is live.
We hold a placement arrangement covering this journal, so the route is open and defined. You need a company with a story worth an article, and one email to us. The sections below give you the whole picture before you decide: what the article gets you, what it looks like, who it fits, how publishing works, and what it will not do.

Picture it: your company name in the journal the Twin Cities check
Picture the moment your company is being evaluated. The health system vetting a supplier, the lender reviewing your expansion, the corporate client choosing a firm, the executive deciding where to land next. Each of them reads the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal, and in its own words its audience is made of C-suite executives and up-and-coming leaders in the Twin Cities metro. They find your company's name inside it as a published article. In a market where corporate headquarters are dense and relationships are long, that page is proof that stays live for every checking moment that follows.
This placement leaves durable assets behind: the live link you forward in proposals and credential packets, and the journal's name in the "As Featured On" row of your own website. It is bought for the checking moment, and it keeps working every time the moment comes around again.
Why the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal, specifically
The Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal is read across Minneapolis, St. Paul and the wider Twin Cities metro by owners, executives, lenders and firm partners in health care, finance, retail and technology. Its 40 Under 40 draws nominations from hundreds of candidates each cycle, mapping the rising leadership this readership follows.
The market beneath the journal is unusually headquarters-rich. The Twin Cities are known as Medical Alley, the leading health technology cluster in the country, and the metro is home to 19 Fortune 500 headquarters, the most per capita of any large US metro, including UnitedHealth Group, Target, Best Buy, Ecolab, General Mills and 3M. A business journal read in that environment is read by the executives who staff, supply and advise an outsized share of corporate America from one metro. That is the room this placement puts your company in.
The supporting figures sit honestly underneath. Our outlet directory records the business journals' platform at a Domain Authority of 91 with 7.8 million monthly organic visits across the journals' site. Those are the platform's figures, not a claim about the Twin Cities edition alone, and they replace the unsubstantiated traffic figures templated pages attach to this journal's name. The benefit was never raw reach. It is reach into the Twin Cities' decision-making room.
What a sponsored article in the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal actually looks like
Precision matters here, because vague offers are where buyers of journal placements get hurt.
The article is a full article page inside the Twin Cities edition on bizjournals.com. The edition is named and fixed before you pay anything: your article runs in the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal, not in an unspecified journal somewhere in a network. It is labelled as paid content under the journal's rules. The journal reviews it before it is published, so nothing goes live unreviewed. Once published, the placement is permanent; it does not come down when a campaign ends, because no campaign window is attached to it.
The article links to your company, and those links follow the journal's paid content rules and carry sponsored attributes. A plain editorial dofollow link is not part of a paid placement, and a seller who promises you one should be asked hard questions.
One naming clarification protects Twin Cities buyers specifically. The metro also has a monthly business magazine with a similar name, Twin Cities Business. It is a separate publication, and this page is not about it. The journal named here is the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal on bizjournals.com, and the article you buy runs there, under that name. The article is likewise not a Book of Lists entry; the Book of Lists is the journal's standing business reference for this market, the audience context that makes it valuable, not a product bundled into your placement.
One metro, one edition: why the Twin Cities edition is the whole point
The journal's site hosts dozens of separate city business journals, each with its own readership of local decision makers. A placement is bought in one named edition, and the edition is the product. Your lenders, clients and competitors read the Twin Cities edition. An article in another city's journal does nothing for the checking moment in your market.
This is where domain wide offers fail their buyers. A seller who quotes one flat arrangement for "the business journals" without naming your metro is selling a slot in a system, not a presence in your market. Here, the market is chosen by you, confirmed before payment, and printed in the article's home: the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal. Readers weighing several markets can find the wider picture in The Business Journals guide, which covers how the city journals work as a family of choices, and the Chicago Business Journal guide covers the same decision in the Midwest's largest market. The buying decision, though, is always one market at a time.
Who this is built for, and who should skip it
This placement is built for Twin Cities companies whose next big yes comes from another business: health technology and medical suppliers in Medical Alley, professional firms, financial services companies, retail and consumer brand suppliers, and any business whose next client, lender or partner reads this journal. It also fits companies outside Minnesota that want a Twin Cities business journal name as they enter this headquarters-dense market.
It does not fit a purely consumer business chasing foot traffic, which needs its customers' eyes rather than the business community's. And it does not fit anyone expecting one article to deliver instant sales by itself; the article compounds credibility across the deals that follow, and it should be bought with that horizon. If you are comparing outlet types before deciding, our guide to which news outlets accept sponsored content walks through the fit honestly.
How publishing works, step by step
Step 1: Email us. Write to uzairasad@pressfeature.org with your company name, your website, and what the article should say. That email is the entire application.
Step 2: Fit confirmation and your quote. We confirm your company and topic fit the journal, and you receive your individual quote for the Twin Cities edition. The factors behind it are in the next section.
Step 3: The article. You supply the article, or we arrange the writing for you. Either way it is prepared for the journal's review.
Step 4: Journal review. The journal reviews the article before publishing. Nothing about your company goes live in its pages unreviewed.
Step 5: Your live link. The article publishes in the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal, and the live link is yours: for proposals, for your site's press row, and for every checking moment from then on.
Your protection, in full, before you pay anything: payment is in full in advance, and if the article does not go live, you receive a full refund, in writing.
What decides the price of a Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal article
There is no printed price for this placement, and the reason is structural, not tactical. The price is decided by the market edition chosen, by the article's scope and whether you supply it or we arrange the writing, and by the placement specifics of your article. A single flat, domain wide fee cannot price that honestly, because it pretends a Twin Cities article for your company is the same object as an article in any other city for any other company.
The figures attached to this journal's name online deserve the honesty treatment too: they come from templated pages and are not substantiated anywhere, so they price nothing reliably, in either direction. Display advertising in the journal is a separate product with its own channels. Every placement here is quoted individually, by email, with no obligation attached to asking. Our guide to how much a sponsored article costs explains the factor model behind business journal quotes in full. The figure you receive is the figure for your company, your article, and the Twin Cities edition, and the refund protection above stands behind it.
The honest limits, and how to start
The limits, in a few lines. The article is labelled paid content; it is not editorial coverage and it is not the journal's newsroom endorsing your company. It guarantees no search ranking, no traffic figure and no clients. What it guarantees is the thing itself: a permanent, credible article about your company in the journal the Twin Cities' decision makers read, published under the journal's own review.
If that is the asset your company is missing, the next step is one email. Write to uzairasad@pressfeature.org with your company name, your website, and the story the article should tell. You will receive a fit confirmation and your individual quote. Our services page covers the wider picture of what we arrange; this placement begins with that email.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a sponsored article in the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal cost?
No printed price exists, because placements are quoted individually. The factors are the edition, the article's scope and production, and the placement specifics. One email to uzairasad@pressfeature.org returns your exact quote, with no obligation.
Who reads the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal?
In the journal's own words, C-suite executives and up-and-coming leaders in the Twin Cities metro, across health care, finance, retail, technology and professional services.
How do I get my business featured in the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal?
Two routes exist. You can earn coverage by pitching news, or you can buy a labelled placement arranged through us with journal review before publishing. This page is about the second route.
Can I pay to publish an article about my company in the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal?
Yes. A labelled paid placement is a real, open route, separate from earning editorial coverage by pitching news.
Is a sponsored article in the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal labelled?
Yes. It runs as clearly labelled paid content under the journal's rules, which is what keeps the placement legitimate and durable.
What is the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal Book of Lists?
The journal's standing business reference for the Twin Cities market. An article runs in the journal its readers use alongside that reference; it is not a listing, and listings are never sold.
Is this the same as Twin Cities Business magazine?
No. Twin Cities Business is a separate monthly magazine. This page is about the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal on bizjournals.com, and the article runs there.
How is advertising different from a sponsored article here?
An ad rents attention until a campaign ends. A sponsored article is a full, permanent article page about your company, labelled as paid content, that readers can find, forward and check later.
