The trial starts when you complete Stripe checkout, not when the profile goes live. You can request and approve a draft before checkout without providing a card.

Prefer to see your listing before deciding?

Request a no-card draft. We will show you the profile and relevant placement pages before any subscription starts.

Exactly where your profile can appear

  • A permanent profile linked from the searchable business directory.
  • A labelled paid card after the content on your island guide.
  • Accommodation profiles on the accommodation page; relevant food, activity, shopping and attraction profiles on Things to Do.
  • Visitor-interest guides only where the owner’s details support that match. We agree the matching guides with you before publication.

Cards are alphabetical within each section. All matching profiles are shown; there is no rotation, guaranteed top position, exclusivity or influence over editorial rankings. On smaller screens cards stack vertically.

Evidence before promises

This is an early-stage programme. We have no published advertiser case studies or verified booking results yet. Our live evidence page shows the new measurement baseline and its limitations.

After publication, request a dated report showing your profile loads and website, booking, phone, email and map clicks. These are actions, not confirmed sales. Reports are prepared on request, not automatically emailed.

A person responsible for your listing

Alastair Semmens handles drafts, corrections and partner support. We aim to acknowledge requests within two working days. You approve the first version and placement pages before publication.

Routine detail updates are included. Offers need an expiry date and hide automatically when it passes. Larger redesigns are agreed separately.

Updates, reports & cancellation help

See what you receive

A useful profile that helps visitors plan.

We build the first version from the details you submit, place it in the most relevant visitor section and clearly label any paid or featured position. Profiles can include approved real photos, location links, opening information, facilities, accessibility, dog policy and dated offers.
