Adding a listing to the site is a quick and hassle free process, and is managed via your account dashboard. To add a listing, please follow these steps:

To list a place (for details on how to list an event, click here)

•  Login to your account and click ‘Add a Listing / Event’.
•  You’ll then be taken to a screen that asks you to select the type of listing the you wish to add.  Click ‘Place’.
•  Choose a membership (listing) tier and click ‘Buy Package’.
•  You will now be taken to a page called ‘Your listing details’.  Here you are able to add the details that you wish to add to your listing.  These are as follows:
  • Title:  Enter the name of your attraction.
  • Tagline:  Add a short headline to grab visitors attention.
  • Description:  Use this space to add further information regarding what makes your attraction so special and appealing to visitors.  Wherever possible, please use original content not copied from existing websites.
  • Email:  Enter the email address that visitors can use to contact your organisation.  This typically is an administrative, marketing or customer support address.
  • Phone number:  If you would like visitors to be able to contact you by phone, please enter a suitable contact number.  As visitors to Monty’s Guide may reside outside the UK, please enter your number in an international format (e.g., +44 1234 321321).
  • Website:  Please enter your attraction’s website url (e.g., https://ouramazingplace.co.uk).
  • Logo:  If you have a logo or emblem for your place / brand, you can upload it here.
  • Cover image:  This is your main image and should be in a landscape format, ideally around 2500px wide.  To help portray your listing in the best possible light, please ensure that your image is a high resolution.  If you have a particularly large image (over 2MB), please compress the file before attempting to upload it to Monty’s Guide.  Websites such as https://tinypng.com are great at helping you achieve this quickly, and for free (we use them all the time).
  • Gallery images: (only available for Enhanced and Featured memberships):  Upload your gallery images here.  As with the cover image, they should be high quality and compressed where possible. 600px wide by 400px high is a good format to use.
  • Opening hours:  Add your typical opening hours for each day of the week by selecting the day and clicking ‘Add Hours’.  We acknowledge that not all places are open all year round and you are able to update your opening hours at any point (e.g., in preparation for winter closures).
  • Timezone:  This is set to the UK timezone and you will not need to change it.  Please note that the timezone is responsive to both BST and GMT.
  • Location:  Please type the address or postcode of where your place is located (the search field will start to automatically present suggestions).  Once you have set a location, the map will automatically move to that address.  You can further refine your location (represented by the red pin) by moving the map around.
  • Region:  Please select the region and sub-region that your place is located using the drop down lists.
  • Categories:  Select the category that best represents your place.  You can select up to two categories per listing.
  • Facilities:  To help visitors better understand the facilities that you offer on site, please select all relevant tags.
  • Free entry:  If you offer free entry for all visitors (not just those with a membership), you can select ‘Free Entry’ from the drop down list.  If this does not apply to your place, you can ignore this field.
  • Choose events:  If you already have events on Monty’s Guide that you wish to associate with this places listing, you can select and add here.
