How We Make Money

GoLocalAtlas is free to use, and we plan to keep it that way. To keep the lights on and keep building helpful local guides, we earn money in a couple of simple ways. Here’s exactly how it works.

Affiliate links

On some of our town pages, you’ll see buttons that link out to hotel booking sites like Booking.com. If you click one of those links and book a stay, we may earn a small commission from the booking site. It never costs you anything extra — the price you pay is exactly the same. These links are always labeled as affiliate links, and they exist to help you find a place to stay, not to push you toward any particular hotel.

What’s coming next

Down the road, we may offer featured listings for local businesses and sell local advertising. Anything paid will always be clearly labeled as such, so you’ll always know the difference between a genuine recommendation and an ad.

Our promise to you

How we make money never affects what we write. Our guides are written honestly, and no business can pay to be listed or to rank higher. If we recommend something, it’s because we genuinely think it’s worth your time.
