Eat, experience, post. That's the job.
Local businesses comp you a meal or a service. You enjoy it like a real customer, then post honestly about it within 48 hours. No scripts, no fake reviews — your actual experience, your actual voice.
The post is the job.
How it works for you
Claim an offer
Restaurants, salons, shops and services post comp offers. Pick the ones you'd genuinely enjoy — your tier sets what you can claim.
Go be a customer
Show up, redeem the comp, and experience the business for real. Bring a guest when the offer includes one.
Post within 48 hours
Story, post or reel — your call, your style. The platform tracks the post so the business gets proof and you get credit for the visit.
Simple deal, enforced fairly
The comp is the pay
A free meal or service is your compensation. Creators are never on a payroll — businesses supply the comp, you supply the post.
48-hour posting rule
Your post must be live within 48 hours of the visit. Late or missing posts are tracked against your roster standing.
FTC disclosure is required
Every post must clearly disclose the comp (e.g. #gifted / "meal provided by…"). No exceptions — it protects you and the business.
No-shows lose their roster spot
Claim it, show up. A no-show without notice — or a visit with no post — removes you from the roster. Businesses plan around your visit.
Honest posts only
Nobody can require a positive review. Post your real take. Businesses that pressure creators get removed — your credibility is the whole product.
Cuts, color, details, days out.
Restaurants are the start, not the whole roster. Salons, barbershops, fitness, attractions and local services run comp offers too — if a local business wants the neighborhood talking, it's on SIGNL.
