What is local advertising on my iOS app worth?

Sorry if this is in the wrong section. I couldn’t find a section for advertising questions.

I have a local iOS app (it is for the local bus transit for a city in Canada) and I am thinking of switching from AdMob ads to just finding one local business that wants the slot. I am wondering what a fair way to price my advertising is to businesses. It would be a banner ad at the bottom of the app across all of the app. I think since it is a local app that I might be able to get more for advertising from a local business. Here are some app stats based on Itunes Connect and Firebase Analytics:

Itunes Connect

Firebase Analytics

655 active weekly users

There are several pricing models you can offer:

this will get you a nice sum of money per month e.g. 150 dollars a day makes 4500 dollars a month, the more advertisment slots you have the lower your price can be, but keep in mind that ads are super annoying for your users. You don’t want to lose them because of over advertising. If you have multiple ad slots you can also sell them for different prices. Better placement higher price principle.

In the end it is up to you how you want to model it and upto your customers how much they want to pay you. I hope it was of help and good luck with the app!
