Type a search for getting your Green Bay business on WFRV and you will mostly find one thing: people selling effort. A hometown PR firm, run by a former anchor, will work its relationships and pitch your story, and maybe the station bites and maybe it does not. That gap between paying and publishing is exactly what this page closes. Here is the defined route: a written article about your business, published on wearegreenbay.com, permanent once it is live. What it looks like, what decides its price, and the one email that starts it are all below.
The short answer: yes, a Green Bay business can get featured on WFRV
Yes. A business can be published on wearegreenbay.com through a paid article placement, arranged through us at PressFeature. This is not hiring a PR firm to pitch the newsroom, and it is not a Local 5 Live television appearance. It is a separate, legitimate route: a sponsored article about your business that runs on the station's website, labelled as paid content, reviewed by the outlet before it goes live, and permanent once published.
You do not need a retainer, a relationship or a lucky news day. You need a business worth writing about and one email. The rest of this page gives you the whole picture, including the plain difference between buying effort and buying a published page.

What you actually get: your business on the site that calls itself We Are Green Bay
Picture the finished thing. A live article page on wearegreenbay.com, a domain that itself claims the region, carries your business name in the headline and your story in the text: what you do, why Northeast Wisconsin customers choose you, and how to reach you. It sits under the Local 5 name your customers already watch.
Then the article works for you in ways a pitched segment never can. You send the link to customers from Green Bay to Appleton. You put it in the proposal and the follow-up email. You add WFRV to the "As Featured On" row on your own website, and every visitor understands in one second that the region's local news station published a story about your business. You are not hoping a producer found your pitch interesting. You hold the page.
Why WFRV carries weight in Northeast Wisconsin
WFRV is Green Bay's CBS station, and it has leaned deliberately into being local. The switch that made WFRV the market's CBS outlet took place on 15 March 1992, and the identity has been stable for more than three decades since. In 2012 the station took on the "Local 5" name, a local-first identity it chose on purpose, and in 2013 it launched Local 5 Live, an hour-long mid-morning programme rooted in the community it serves. Its studios stand on East Mason Street in Green Bay.
The figures sit under that identity: in our outlet directory, wearegreenbay.com carries a Domain Authority of 62 and roughly 575,300 monthly organic visits. But the deeper reason a WFRV article works is what the station's own website name admits. This is the outlet that calls itself We Are Green Bay, and its readers believe it covers home.
What a sponsored article on wearegreenbay.com actually looks like
Precision first, because it is where fuzzy offers fall apart. The article is a full page on wearegreenbay.com itself. It is labelled as paid content, and that labelling is not a weakness; it is what makes the placement legitimate and durable. The outlet reviews the article before it is published, so what goes live has passed the station's own check. Once live, the placement is permanent. It does not disappear when a programme schedule turns or a campaign ends.
The article links to your website, and those links carry sponsored attributes, as paid content rules require. Anyone who promises you a plain editorial dofollow link from a paid placement is describing something that does not exist. What you get is a permanent, credible page about your business on the region's local news site, sending real readers to you.
Hiring a PR firm to pitch is not buying the article
This is the separation the local market blurs, so let us state it plainly. PR help buys effort: relationships, phone calls, a pitch written on your behalf. What it cannot buy is the outcome. Coverage stays the newsroom's choice. It cannot be scheduled on your timeline, it cannot be guaranteed to exist at all, and if it does run, it runs on the newsroom's terms, without your link placed where you need it.
The paid article is a different kind of purchase. It is a defined product with a defined deliverable: a published page, about your business, carrying your story and your link, reviewed before it runs and permanent after it does. Nobody here is named, because the point is not who sells the effort; the point is the difference in what lands in your hands. If you want certainty of a page, you buy the article. Our guide to which news outlets accept sponsored content explains how the two routes compare across outlets.
Who a WFRV article is right for, and who should skip it
This placement fits Green Bay and Appleton metro businesses whose customers live in Northeast Wisconsin: home services, healthcare, retailers, professional firms, anyone whose buyer researches before signing. If your customer's first move is to check you on the local news site, this is the page that should be waiting.
It does not fit a business with no customers in the region and no use for a Green Bay news name. If nobody who matters to you opens wearegreenbay.com, spend the money where your customers actually are. We would rather tell you that now than sell you the wrong placement.
How publishing on WFRV works, step by step
Step 1: Email us. Write to uzairasad@pressfeature.org with your business name, your website, and what the article should be about. That email is the whole application. No form, no account, no retainer.
Step 2: Fit confirmation and your quote. We confirm your business and topic fit the outlet, and you receive your individual quote for this placement.
Step 3: The article. You can supply the article yourself, or we arrange the writing for you. Either way, the draft goes to the outlet for review before anything is published.
Step 4: Review and go live. The outlet reviews the article. Once approved, it is published on wearegreenbay.com, fast once the review is complete.
Step 5: Your live link. You receive the live link to your article, yours to send to customers and add to your site from that day on.
Your protection is stated plainly because it is part of the arrangement 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, the honest limits, and how to start
There is no public price for a WFRV article. Advertising with the station is its own sales business; the website article is priced per placement, on the factors that differ between businesses: the scope of the article, whether you supply it or we arrange the writing, the placement specifics, and timing. Our guide to how much a sponsored article costs explains that factor model in full, and one email returns your exact figure with no obligation.
The limits, plainly. The article is paid content and is labelled as such; it is not editorial coverage and not the Local 5 newsroom endorsing your business. No one can guarantee rankings, traffic or sales from a placement like this. What it does is put a credible, permanent page about your business on the news site this region calls its own.
If WFRV is the name your customers trust, the next step is a single email. Write to uzairasad@pressfeature.org with your business name, your website, and the story the article should tell. Our services page covers the wider picture of what we do, but the WFRV article itself begins with that email.
