Partner With The Poole Guide

How businesses in Poole work with the guide: listings, partnerships and what we will and will not sell.

The Poole Guide is read by people planning a trip to Poole and by people who live here. This is how businesses work with it.

Free editorial listings

Listings are free and editorial. If you run somewhere in Poole that a reader would want to know about, it belongs in the guide whether or not you ever pay us anything. List your business or claim an existing entry.

What we do not sell

We do not sell position in a ranking, inclusion in an article, or a review. A guide that sells its recommendations is worth nothing to the reader and, in time, nothing to the advertiser either.

What we do sell

Clearly marked promotional placements. See advertise with us.

Partnerships by sector

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

Does it cost anything to be listed on The Poole Guide?

No. Editorial listings are free. Businesses are included because they are useful to readers, and no payment moves a business up a page or into an article.

What is the difference between a listing and a partnership?

A listing is editorial and free: the guide decides what goes in it. A partnership is a commercial arrangement covering clearly marked promotional placements, which never changes editorial rankings or recommendations.

How do I claim my business listing?

Use the list your business page to claim an existing listing or add a new one. Verified owners can keep their details current through the owner portal.
