Get Started in 5 Easy Steps with Bartow Visitor Guide and connect your business with the 1.4 million+ annual visitors staying at Bartow County’s 28 hotels and 10+ campgrounds. Our mission is to help visitors discover your business without the clutter of online searches, making it easier for them to find trusted local businesses and services throughout Bartow County.
Click the gold Sign Up button at the top right of any page. Enter your name, email, and a password — we’ll send you a quick verification email to confirm it’s you. Once verified, log in and you’ll land on your business dashboard, where everything else happens. We highly recommend you create your listing on a PC or Mac. It is substantially easier than on a phone or tablet.
If you received one of our 9" x 12" introductory postcards, a basic listing is waiting for you to claim it. In your new dashboard, use Claim your listing to search for your business by name and claim it instantly — no waiting for approval. From there you will be directed to the listing plans for selection and payment. Not listed yet? Choose Add your business instead and create your listing from scratch.
From your dashboard, open Listing Plans (or browse the Pricing page first). Choose the plan that fits your business — Basic through Restaurant — and complete secure checkout through Stripe. Every plan starts with a 90-day free trial, and you can cancel anytime before renewal.
Open Edit listing on your dashboard to add your description, hours, contact info, and photos. Each plan includes a different number of images — from 1 on Basic up to 8 on the Restaurant Plan. Your first image should be sized at 800px wide x 600px tall and your logo should be 500px x 500px; this makes your listing display beautifully on mobile devices. Photos upload right from your phone or computer and are optimized automatically.
Creating your listing is straightforward and requires no technical expertise.
For quick setup, reuse existing text and images from your website. You can also let free AI tools like ChatGPT or Google Gemini create your graphics for you, just copy the prompt at the bottom of this page, add your business details, and generate the content. If the first draft needs tweaking, refine it by entering your feedback directly into the AI chat box.
Don’t want to create it yourself? We can handle it for you! You’ll find all the details in your Admin Panel after you register.
Attach your logo to the AI chat box. Copy and paste this message into the chat box:
Using the attached logo, create an 800px wide x 600px tall listing banner for [Business Name]. Include the phone number [Phone], address [Address] Use website [URL] for color suggestions, and the color accents in the logo. Ensure all text is centered and easy to read for a visitor guide.
You’ve got this! There you go, your listing will be up and running in no time and looking good. And remember — once your listing is live, you can promote it even further with a Featured Business spot or a limited-time Special, both available right from your dashboard.
Pro Tip: Attach your logo image to the chat, paste the prompt with your business details, and iterate on the results. AI can quickly generate design options.
Once your listing is live, a Featured spot gives it premium placement in the Featured Businesses section on the home page — the first thing visitors see when they open the guide.
Specials are limited-time offers — think “20% off lunch” or “Buy one, get one half off” — that appear on the guide’s Specials page for every visitor to see.
Join hundreds of Bartow businesses connecting with visitors every day.
