Give people a reason to make you part of their plans.
The San Diego List helps readers decide where to eat, explore and spend their time. Tell us what’s happening at your business: a new opening, an event or a story people should know. Useful details give us something to work with.
These figures describe our coverage, not audience reach. Before any paid pilot, we provide dated audience numbers, the exact placement, disclosure wording and a plan to report actual results. Traffic and sales are never guaranteed.
What is never for sale
Rankings are not for sale
A position on a list is an editorial judgment reached from evidence. It cannot be bought, traded, or influenced by a commercial relationship, and no advertiser sees a ranking before it publishes.
Sponsored content is always clearly labeled
When something is paid, it says so, plainly, where the reader sees it. Sponsorship is a separate product from our rankings and is never dressed up as one.
Hosted visits are disclosed
If a business hosts us, that appears on the page. It does not buy a placement, and it does not change how a place is scored.
Facts get corrected for free, always
Wrong hours, a closure, a changed address, a misspelled name — tell us and we fix it, whether or not we have any commercial relationship with you.
What we do offer
Sponsorship inquiries
We’re developing clearly labeled placements for businesses that fit the audience. Ask about available inventory, measured reach and the terms of a small pilot. Newsletter placements depend on an operating newsletter.
A useful business story
Share something a reader can use: a new experience, an opening or a practical reason to visit. Editorial profiles are selected independently. Any commissioned commercial feature is labeled as sponsored.
Events and openings
Tell us what you are launching. We cover openings editorially when they are worth covering — that coverage is not a purchase, but we cannot cover what we do not hear about.
If you only want one thing from us, make it accuracy.
The most valuable thing a business can send us is a correction or a current fact — new hours, a new chef, a menu change, a second location. It costs nothing, it is never treated as a pitch, and it makes the page about you correct. Read the editorial standards for exactly how we verify, or the corrections policy for how we fix things.
