Questions owners ask

How much does it cost to advertise on RoamRecs?

A Featured Guide Partner placement starts at $99 a month with a 3-month minimum. Social campaigns start at $149 for an Instagram Story Spotlight, $299 for a Sponsored Roundup and $449 for a Dedicated Spotlight video. The Discovery Bundle combines a roundup, a story spotlight and three months of guide placement for $499.

Will my restaurant be labeled as sponsored?

Yes. Paid placements in guides carry a visible Featured Partner label and paid social posts are tagged as paid partnerships. Readers trust our guides because they can tell the difference, and that trust is what makes a placement worth having.

Can I pay to be included in any guide?

We place partners in guides where they genuinely fit: a cocktail bar goes in a bar guide, not a pizza guide. If no current guide fits, we'll tell you and suggest a social campaign instead.

What results will I see?

Every campaign uses tracked links. You get social reach and video views, story link taps, saves and shares, guide sessions, and clicks through to your website or reservation page.

Do you work with businesses outside New York?

Yes. New York is our home base and where our audience is biggest, but every package is available wherever we have guides. Featured placements go in the guide for your city, and social campaigns run on the same accounts. Tell us where you are and we'll recommend what fits your city.
