Sponsorship · 2026

Sponsor the pages
where data center decisions get made.

Two placements, both measured. A sponsored module on the facility and market pages buyers land on mid-decision, and a labelled sponsor block on the surfaces AI engines fetch and cite. Every figure on this page names its source, and you get Search Console read access before you sign anything.

This is not the audience number.

It counts how often a DC Hub page appeared in a Google results page over 28 days — how much of the category's search surface we hold. It is not how many people arrived, and it is not what your placement is priced against. The number your placement is priced against is the click count in the panel above, and it is much smaller.

Machine reach (not human audience).

None of these figures is a human audience, and none is what a placement is priced against. Which AI platforms fetch this site: not a vendor logo wall. This is our own request log, counted by platform and read live from the API. Bars scale to the busiest platform.

Who DC Hub is built for.

Built for the people making the actual decisions — plus the AI agents working on their behalf.

Operators

Data center engineers

Site selection, capacity planning and power procurement for colocation, wholesale and hyperscale operators and GPU clouds.

Investors

Infrastructure capital

Infrastructure funds, private equity and lenders tracking M&A, capex and supply-demand by market.

AI & cloud

AI / cloud engineers

Infrastructure teams at AI labs and cloud providers routing compute to where the watts already are.

Agents

Autonomous AI agents

Many MCP tools called by AI agents on behalf of their human principals, over an open protocol any MCP-capable client can connect to.

Two placements.

One puts you on the pages buyers read while they are deciding. The other puts you on the surfaces AI engines fetch when they answer for those buyers. They can be bought separately or together.

Facility & market page presence

A sponsored module on the facility and market page templates — including, if you operate, the pages of the facilities you compete with.

  • ✓ Runs on every facility and market page — those two templates, not the whole sitemap
  • ✓ Render-stamped impressions and click-through, reported monthly
  • ✓ Search Console read access, so you audit the audience figure directly
  • ✓ Category exclusivity available — one sponsor per category, for the term

Both placements, category-exclusive, 12-month term

$6,500 / mo

versus $7,500 bought separately — a 13% reduction. This is the only discount on the card. It exists so the two floor prices do not get negotiated directly.

What these placements are not.

Everything below is a reason not to buy. We would rather you read it here than find it out in month two.

Questions buyers actually ask.

If the answer to one of these would change your mind, it should change it before you sign, not after.

How do I verify the audience number before I sign?

We grant you read access to our Google Search Console property. You count the clicks yourself, in Google's own interface, before any money changes hands. The audience figures are public and keyless at /api/v1/audience/summary — curl it during the call.

Why do you quote both search impressions and clicks?

They measure different things and we keep them apart on purpose. The impressions figure is how often a DC Hub page appeared in a Google results page over 28 days — category share of voice, not delivery. The click figure is how many people actually arrived. A sponsored module renders on a page load, so the click count is the number your placement is priced against.

Is the click count a lot?

No, and we would rather say so now. It is a small, extremely qualified audience, arriving on a specific facility or market page mid-decision. At $1,500 per month the per-click cost is shown in the panel above; it is not a CPM. If you need reach, buy something else.

Can I be the only sponsor in my category?

Yes — that is the exclusive tier. One sponsor per category for the length of the term, and no competitor can buy the same page set while you hold it.

What do I actually get every month?

Render-stamped impressions and clicks for your placement, the audience figure for the pages you ran on, and — for the AI placement — a per-engine crawl table from our own edge logs. No competitor can produce that table, which is why it arrives every month with your name on it.

What do I send you?

Prose, not a banner. A placement renders on four surfaces and only one of them keeps markup: the HTML page does, while the plain-text llms.txt, the JSON envelope and the root domain AI engines cite all strip it. So an image would reach one surface out of four and none of the cited ones, and we do not accept them.

Send us three things: a sponsor name up to 60 characters, a message up to 400 readable characters — about two or three sentences — and one https link. Light emphasis is fine (b, strong, i, em, br, no attributes). Everything else is declined at submission with a note saying what to change.

You get exactly one link and we render it ourselves, with rel="sponsored nofollow" through the click-tracked redirect your click count comes from — which is why links inside the message are not accepted. The full spec is machine-readable and public at /api/v1/sponsorships/creative-spec.

Is the AI placement disclosed as sponsored?

Always, in the source text itself, so that an engine reading the page reproduces the label. We test that the label survives into real answers before a placement goes live. If a label does not survive, we do not sell that placement.

Which AI engines actually cite DC Hub?

Over the last 30 days: see the per-engine breakdown above. Check how concentrated that split is before you assume you are buying more than one engine's adjacency. Some of our citation records carry no source URL, so treat the total as a floor, not a total.

What happens when I cancel?

Your creative stops being served at the origin as soon as we deactivate it. Pages are cached at Cloudflare's edge, so a cached copy can persist beyond that — the stale-while-revalidate windows currently configured are one hour on facility pages and 24 hours on market pages.

An automatic edge purge now fires on every sponsorship state change — activation and cancellation alike — so in practice a cancelled creative clears within minutes rather than sitting out those windows.

We still write one business day into the contract. A purge depends on Cloudflare accepting the call, and a purge that fails is logged loudly rather than silently retried, so one business day is the number we are willing to be held to rather than the number we expect to hit. If it ever actually takes that long, tell us — that is a failure we want to see.

How does billing work?

Invoiced monthly, out of band. No card on file. The first invoice goes out after the first monthly report exists — there is no charge before there is something to show for it.

Who should not buy this?

Anyone who needs volume, anyone selling to consumers, and anyone who wants their message to read as neutral editorial. The label is not removable and the audience is not large.
