Product Spotlight
Put your product, app, or service in front of land surveyors — a one-time, professionally edited announcement on RPLS.com, permanent and indexed by Google.
One announcement. In front of the whole surveying community.
The RPLS.com Product Spotlight is a one-time, professionally edited announcement about your product, app, or service — published on our blog and posted in the forum where surveyors actually gather. Public, permanent, and indexed by Google.
Who it’s for
Not everybody needs an ongoing Vendor Membership. Sometimes you’ve got one thing to put out — a new app, a new instrument, a service you just launched — and you want it seen by the people who’d actually use it. That’s what the Spotlight is for.
Your announcement lives on our Line & Grade blog, where it’s public, permanent, and indexed by Google. So it keeps working long after launch week, still turning up when a surveyor searches for what you make. We post it in the forum too, where the community gathers every day.

Questions
Do I need to be a member? No. Anyone can buy a Spotlight. We’ll set you up with a free RPLS account so you can manage it, and members get $25 off.
What do you need from me? Your announcement (or just the key points), a couple of links, your logo if you have one, and at least one real product photo or screenshot.
Can you write it for me? Send the key points and we’ll shape them into a clean announcement. You get a proof and one round of revisions before anything is published.
Is it marked as an ad? Yes. Every Spotlight is clearly labeled as a sponsored announcement. Our readers are professionals, and we keep it straight with them.
How long does it stay up? Permanently. That’s where the real value is — it keeps showing up in search long after the day it went live.
