Websites by industry · Media & publishing

Websites built for publications.

Editorial sites fail in small ways that add up: a headline hidden under a cookie banner, text that reflows when an ad loads, a font that strains on a phone, an archive with no way in. We build magazines, newsrooms, and blogs around the reading experience first, with subscriptions and ads placed so they never interrupt the paragraph. GEO Marketing Group designs and builds these sites for publications across the United States, working remotely from Providence, Rhode Island, and this page links to a dedicated page for every state and major metro.

Quick answer

GEO Marketing Group designs and builds custom websites for publications across the United States, working remotely from Providence, Rhode Island. Each publication site is built mobile-first around the way publications win customers, quoted as a fixed price before work starts, and handed over so you own it outright. Choose your state below for local detail.

What gets in the way

The website problems publications run into.

Clutter drives readers off the page

Interstitials, autoplay video, and ad slots that shift the layout mid-sentence push readers away before the second paragraph and drag down Core Web Vitals with them.

The archive has no front door

Years of reporting sit behind weak tags and no search, so older pieces never resurface and the publication gets no credit for the depth it has actually built.

Subscriptions feel bolted on

A paywall or newsletter tool dropped in after the fact fights the design, stalls the page, and leaves readers at a dead end right when they are most willing to sign up.

Must-haves

What a publication website needs.

  • Article template with typography tuned for long reads on phones and laptops
  • Section, tag, author, and series pages that give every archive piece a home
  • Fast site search across the full archive by headline, author, and topic
  • Newsletter and paid subscription paths integrated with your platform and measured as conversions
  • Structured data for articles, authors, and publisher so search engines and AI tools can cite pieces correctly
  • Editorial workflow with drafts, scheduling, and separate roles for editors and contributors

Integrations

Works with the tools publications already run on.

We connect the site to the systems your team already uses, so inquiries, bookings, and orders land where the work happens instead of in a separate inbox.

FAQ

Publication websites: common questions.

Can we run a paywall or paid membership?

Yes. Memberful, Ghost, and Stripe all support metered or hard paywalls and member-only sections, and we integrate the one that fits your model so a reader can subscribe in a few steps without leaving the article. The flow is tracked in analytics; subscriber numbers and revenue depend on the writing and are not something we can promise.

What happens to our existing articles when we move?

They come with you. We map every old URL to its new home and set up permanent redirects, carry over categories, tags, authors, and publish dates, and check the archive after migration so nothing is orphaned. That preserves the search history you have built, although indexing and rankings remain search-engine decisions.

How do we keep advertising without ruining the reading experience?

By reserving fixed-size slots so ads never shift the text, limiting interstitials, and keeping video off autoplay. Ad units then load alongside the article instead of interrupting it, and we measure reading depth so you can see whether a placement is costing you readers.
