Avoid jargon or listing too many details (like prices or policies) that may change frequently. If you would like to add more information, please reach out to the partnership team to discuss options on upgrading to an enhanced page allowing for a longer description and more photos.

Yes, you can upgrade to include an enhanced detail page at any time to allow for more information in your listing. This would include a description of up to 300 words, 10 images, a YouTube video link and 2 PDFs.

High-quality, horizontal (landscape) photos work best for your listing. We recommend images that showcase your business experience, such as interior and exterior shots, people enjoying your space or signature offerings. Do not place logos or text over the photos you submit; natural, inviting images perform best with visitors.
