About Us

Best of Cities is a Web site, database, news site, and promotional consulting firm operated by BizWest Media.

Here's the story. We have noticed that thousands, if not HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of companies and professionals are recognized each year for excellence in their respective fields. When this recognition comes from a trusted editorial source, like a city magazine, business journal, or trade publication, IT'S A BIG DEAL.

So why not let people know? News organizations are excellent at getting the word out locally, in print. They also do a good job of getting the word out to their local pool of subscribers and visitors online.

But what about everyone else? We at Best of Cities saw an opportunity here. We have the tools and connections to help Award Winners in every market get the most out of their awards. We help them communicate the good news to a MUCH BROADER audience.

Why? Pure marketing. You may be excellent at what you do. But what good is that if no one knows? Expanding awareness of your achievements means more opportunities to gain trust, gain authority, and ultimately close more business. Maybe you want to expand into new markets ...  it helps if they have heard of you.

Secondarily, Best of Cities offers you the opportunity to preserve and commemorate your achievements. The print magazine with your feature will fade into the shadows in a matter of months. Your online listing with Best of Cities will ensure that your achievements live on -- right where it matters most ... ONLINE. 

So now that you know what we do, consider taking the following steps:
  1. Submit your awards. It's free to be recognized on this site. (People who want higher exposure, such as expert press releases, Best of City memorabilia, or enhanced listings will have to pay moderate fees for these services -- it's how we make our money so we can continue to offer the free services to everyone.)
