Why Businesses Struggle to Reach Tourists

Sound familiar? You're not alone.

Getting Discovered Is Hard

Tourists rely on their phones to find what's nearby. Without a presence where they're already looking, your business is easy to miss.

Seasonal Traffic Is Unpredictable

Peak season is short and the window to capture tourist dollars is narrow. Every missed visitor is lost revenue.

Word of Mouth Only Goes So Far

Locals know you, but out-of-town visitors need a way to discover your business before they arrive.

Advertising FAQ

Pricing, founding rates, billing, and where Local Guide is available

How much does a listing on Local Guide cost?

Listings start at $19/month. Higher tiers add priority placement, more photos, and analytics. Posting events is free with every listing, and monthly plans have no long-term contract. See the pricing page for the full lineup — the exact current price for each package is always shown at sign-up before you pay.

What are founding rates?

For a limited time, founding businesses pay a reduced rate — most packages bill at the next tier down's price. If you join before the promotion ends, you keep that founding rate for the life of your subscription, even after prices go up. The discounted price is shown when you choose your package at sign-up.

Where is Local Guide available?

Local Guide is live in communities across Kentucky, Indiana, and Florida — including the Rough River Lake and Nolin Lake areas and Breckinridge, Grayson, Hardin, Hart, LaRue, Meade, and Nelson Counties in Kentucky; Harrison County, Indiana; and Charlotte, Lee, and Sarasota Counties on Florida's Gulf Coast. Listings are for businesses in and around the communities we serve, and new communities are added regularly — contact us to bring Local Guide to your town.

How long does it take to get listed?

You can set up your listing yourself in minutes: create an account, add your business details and photos, choose a package, and pay securely by card. We review the listing before it's published and add it to the app as soon as it's approved. Directory information is compiled from public sources and from businesses, so you can report a problem anytime.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Cancel from your customer portal at any time. Your listing stays live until the end of the period you've already paid for, then it won't renew — no cancellation fees.

Are events and analytics included?

Posting events is free with every listing. Paid listings include an analytics dashboard in the customer portal — listing views, phone calls, direction requests, website clicks, and week-over-week and month-over-month trends — plus a monthly performance report by email.
