SIGNL is building New Orleans' founding creator roster now: people who live here, post honestly about the businesses here, and get comped by the places their own followers can actually visit.
is forming now
SIGNL is free for creators. Always. Businesses pay the platform. You never pay to join, to list, or to get booked.
Local businesses in New Orleans comp local creators a meal, a service or an experience, and creators post honestly within 48 hours.
How it works: claim your spot in about a minute, get your decision, finish your profile, and take first pick of comp offers when New Orleans opens. Paid cash campaigns sit on top of comps, and Headliners (15,000+ followers) are first in line for them. Invite other creators with your personal link and earn Momentum points: +3 per sign-up, +10 per approval. Points order the creator list businesses see.
The New Orleans market
Louisiana · Founding sign-ups open
New Orleans is a founding SIGNL market, listed by its anchor city. Founding sign-ups are open now: the New Orleans founding roster forms in application order, and the market opens in a launch wave once its roster is ready. The full metro definition for New Orleans is published as the market opens.
SIGNL keeps this page honest on purpose: no invented neighborhoods, no borrowed lists. What is true today is that New Orleans creators and businesses can claim founding status now, in sign-up order, before the market opens.

For New Orleans businesses
When the New Orleans market opens, local businesses post comp offers (a meal, a service, an experience) and founding creators claim them, visit like real customers and post to a 48-hour standard. Every post is tracked; if a week passes with no post, the visit is replaced, and no creator can ever be required to post positively.
Ads reach everyone except the people who live nearby. SIGNL puts New Orleans creators who live here inside your business, posting to neighbors who can walk in this week.
