Support SouthPadreInfo.com

Every business in our directory gets a free listing. Supporters help pay for the guide.

Every business we list gets a free page, and we’re building full menu pages for island restaurants from their own menus and websites. Owners can claim their listing for free and send us updates. Supporters help keep SouthPadreInfo free for visitors and every local business. In return we show them to more visitors, in places clearly marked as paid, and write a feature story about them.

A full story for every space

Three packages, three pages. Five packages, five pages.

Each purchased or approved hosted package includes its own dedicated feature: at least 1500 words, a gallery of 2 or more photos, practical visitor details, and a link to your business listing.

We plan a useful angle for every page—such as the experience, the menu, a family visit, or the people behind the business. Page assignments, drafts, photos, and publication progress stay together in your business account.

Original photography and first-hand details are included when a visit is agreed and completed. Otherwise we work from verified business information and approved photos. Every feature says it was paid for or hosted.

What we report

Your supporter portal shows how many times people tapped Call, Directions and Website or Order on your page each month. Small numbers show as “fewer than 5”, and the rest are rounded to 5.

We don’t count page views. We never share anything about a visitor: no names, no accounts, no trip plans, nothing from anyone’s saved picks. We don’t promise visitors, calls or bookings.

The same guide standards

Free pages stay complete. Supporting the guide never takes anything away from a business that doesn’t pay.

Labelled every time. Every supporter card, page and story says it is paid for or hosted.

Our lists aren’t for sale. The directory, search, maps, guides and visitors’ saved picks work the same for supporters as for everyone else.

Facts stay facts. Menus, prices and hours come from your own sources or from you. Visitors can still send corrections, and we still act on them.

No automatic renewals. Each term ends on its end date.

Optional hosted experience

A separate invitation, with the terms visible.

A hosted meal, stay, activity, or other agreed experience can cover part or all of a package when approved in writing before the visit. Our local team can visit, take original photos, and gather practical first-hand details. We agree on the experience value, number of packages, page topics, and schedule together. Every approved hosted package includes the same full feature page and gallery.

Hosted access is disclosed. It does not guarantee positive coverage or impressions.

Questions, answered plainly

Is my free page worse if I don’t become a supporter?

No. Every business gets the same free page and the same buttons. Supporting the guide adds things around your page, and takes nothing away from anyone.

Does supporting the guide change what you write about us?

No. Your story says it was paid for or hosted. We describe your business accurately, agree the topic with you, and don’t promise a good review.

How many people will see my card?

We don’t promise a number. SouthPadreInfo.com is a young, local guide. Your supporter portal shows the taps we can count on your page, and nothing we can’t.

How is billing handled?

Your approved agreement sets the amount and dates. Online payment is available when our selected Square or Stripe account is connected; we can also arrange an invoice. An inquiry never charges your card. The initial term is 90 days, with no automatic renewal charge.

How is a space confirmed?

A signed agreement confirms the placement, category, dates, and billing details.

Can my business book more than one space?

Yes. A business can book any number of available positions. Each Sitewide Supporter position also needs an available category space.

Ready to start a conversation?

Start with your free listing.

Claim your business listing first. It’s free, and it’s how we know we’re talking with the owner. Then tell us how you’d like to support the guide. We’ll confirm what’s open and the dates before any agreement, and nothing renews by itself.
