Put your business where the plans are made
People open CityPulse with intent: they're choosing where to eat, what to see, and how to spend tonight. Featured placement puts your business in front of them at exactly that moment.
Travelers deciding tonight
Visitors arrive knowing nobody and nothing. They open CityPulse to build their evening — be the place they find first, not the one they hear about after they've left.
Locals planning the weekend
Residents use CityPulse to break the routine: the new opening, the one-night-only show, the festival across town. Featured listings lead those browsing sessions.
Placement that's labeled, honestly
Paid placement in CityPulse is always marked "Featured." Explorers trust the feed because they can tell what's promoted — and that trust is worth more to your business than a hidden boost.
How affiliate booking works
You get the customer. The booking partner handles the transaction. CityPulse earns a commission from the partner side — never a markup on the explorer.
Your listing links out
Your CityPulse listing points to your own booking, menu, or ticketing page — or to a booking partner that already sells for you.
The explorer books with you
The reservation or purchase happens on your page or the partner's, at the price you set. CityPulse adds nothing on top for the explorer.
The partner pays the commission
When a completed booking starts from CityPulse, the booking partner pays us a commission. No booking revenue is taken out of your pocket by us — and featured partners get the click and booking reporting to see it working.
Questions, answered straight
Is CityPulse really free for users?
Yes — free forever for explorers. No subscriptions, no booking fees, no premium tier for people looking for something to do. Partner placement and booking commissions are the entire business model.
How do I get listed?
Pick a plan on the pricing page and check out with Stripe. Send us your listing details — name, category, photos, description, and your booking or menu link — and your featured placement goes live in your city.
What reporting do I get?
Every partner plan includes a monthly click report for your listing. City Spotlight and Founding City Partner add booking reporting, so you can see reservations and ticket sales that started from CityPulse.
Is featured placement labeled?
Always. Paid placement carries a "Featured" label in the app. It's better for explorers, and it's better for you — people act on recommendations they trust.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Partner plans are monthly subscriptions via Stripe; cancel anytime and your featured placement runs to the end of the billing period.
