Gulf Shores Lineup Get the weekend email

For Coastal Alabama & Northwest Florida businesses

Be where your neighbors decide what to do.

The Lineup is the local going-out guide for Coastal Alabama & Northwest Florida — a community that comes back every day and every week to see what's going on. Two ways to be part of it, depending on your business:

Claiming your business is free. Always. Fixing your hours, adding your events, correcting your info — free, because accurate local info is the whole point. And advertising never buys editorial coverage — our weekend picks and "Best of" guides are independent and always will be. What you can pay for is making your own page shine, and being the only business of your kind tied to the guide.

How pricing works

Founding rates are locked for as long as you stay a partner. As The Lineup's audience in Coastal Alabama & Northwest Florida grows, prices rise — but yours never does. The earlier you join, the lower the rate you keep. There's no deadline; there's just the fact that the rate only goes up from here.

Why The Lineup

Curated, not pay-to-play. Advertising never buys editorial coverage — our guides and weekend picks are independent, and that's exactly why people trust them (see our editorial standards). Sold honestly: no cold calls, no high-pressure rep. Claim free, upgrade when it's worth it, cancel anytime.

Questions

How does Founding pricing work?
You lock today's rate for as long as you stay a partner. As we grow, rates rise for new partners — never for you.
I have more than one place — is there a discount?
Yes. One owner with multiple Featured listings gets 15% off for 2–4 listings, 25% off for 5+.
Can I cancel?
Yes, anytime. If you're Sponsored and cancel, your category reopens for someone else.
Does paying get me better coverage or reviews?
No. Editorial is independent — paying upgrades your own page and your placement in clearly-labeled partner slots. It never buys a spot in our weekend picks or guides.
What's the difference between Featured and Sponsored?
Featured makes your page better (photos, menu, offers, analytics) — it's for places people visit. Sponsored makes you the only one of your kind tied to the guide, with recurring placement and newsletter mentions — it's for service businesses. Most places start with Featured; service businesses want Sponsored.
