For Chamber and the Visitor Center
You list the town. We sit on the page Google already opened.
Visitors planning a trip may use seasideor.com or the Chamber list. Visitors already in Seaside usually Google a shop and land on that shop’s own site. The guest card lives there — not as a second directory.
Step 1
Tales, free
Owner stories and event previews. No invoice to be in the magazine. Editorial is not for sale.
Step 2
A site, optional
A clear page from the story, if they want one. Coverage does not depend on saying yes.
Step 3
A guest card, later
A widget on their site suggests other local places — never a rival in the same category.
The rule you can say in a meeting
A business never sees another business in the same category. A hotel shows food, a bookshop, a show — not another hotel. A candy shop does not send you to the candy shop next door. Maps, lodging lists, and what is on this week stay with the Visitors Bureau.

Shops are added in the studio with a name, town, and widget category, then opted in. Installing the card is how they become eligible to appear on someone else’s site. The magazine does not require the card.
