Beyond your town

Explore the interest guides

Interest guides gather places around a theme across a whole region. You switch on what you host in Info → What you host. Choose only interests your place actually offers; eligibility depends on the kind of place you run. Accurate photos and a short detail help visitors decide. New to interests? Start with What interests are.

01 · Aisle

Aisle · weddings and receptions

Restaurants, wineries, event venues, theaters, museums, hotels and other suitable gathering places can appear in Aisle. In Info → What you host, switch on Weddings & receptions only if you really host them, then add your guest capacity and a starting price. Both show on your venue card only when filled in. Not every business type qualifies.

02 · The Guest List

The Guest List · private gatherings

Restaurants with private rooms, event venues, hotels, cultural venues and other eligible spaces can appear in The Guest List. Turn on Private events in What you host and add the details planners look for: guest capacity, a starting price (leave it blank for pricing on request) and the occasions you suit, from birthday parties and corporate gatherings to receptions, meetings and private dining. Public event listings are not the point of this guide.

03 · Soundcheck

Soundcheck · live music

Bars, restaurants, wineries, theaters, music venues, hotels and other eligible hosts can appear in Soundcheck when they genuinely host live music. Turn on Live music in What you host and keep your shows current: any venue with a published live-music event is picked up automatically. Add performers to the event's lineup so bands and venues link up. See Add an event and the Bands guide.

04 · Dog-friendly

Dog-friendly · welcoming dogs

Eligible places include restaurants, cafés, parks, trails, shops and stays. If dogs are welcome, turn on Dog-friendly in What you host and say in your description where they are allowed: for example, the patio, grounds or rooms. Confirm restrictions before guests arrive. There's no branded dog guide yet: switched-on places get a Dog friendly badge and appear in dog-friendly lists and on the map.

05 · Other guides

Other interest guides

Themes such as Wine Trail, Chef's Table, Market Day, Movement, Sanctuary, Fairways, Dink and Downbeat find places from your listing category, name and Google details. Not every guide has a What you host switch. Keep your listing type and details accurate so the right guide can find you. If a switch is missing, your kind of listing is not eligible for that host option. Members appear higher in every interest guide, and Booster guides from listings in the area can appear on the guide's page.

06 · Upkeep

Keep your details current

The switches only appear for suitable kinds of places and should reflect what you actually offer. Switching one off removes that host signal, even if it was discovered automatically. Keep capacity, pricing, occasions and show dates current.
