Skip the postcard. Post the real Mexico City.
The postcards stop at the Zócalo and the Ángel de la Independencia. The Mexico City people actually live in is tacos al pastor in Narvarte, churros in Coyoacán, coffee in Condesa and mezcal in Roma Norte. SIGNL is forming its Mexico City founding roster now: local creators who post that city, and local businesses ready to comp them.
The post is the job.
SIGNL is free for creators. Always. Businesses pay the platform. You never pay to join, to list, or to get booked.
Comp visits are the core. Paid bookings sit on top: set your own rate from a $900 floor, the business pays it, and the platform fee is 6 percent total, split evenly, so you keep 97 percent of your rate. Paid bookings are held by SIGNL until your post is live. Headliners (15,000+ followers) are also first in line for featured paid campaigns when businesses run them.
Mexico City eats by colonia
Colonias, each its own city
A creator in Narvarte, a student in Coyoacán and a chef in Polanco live in different Mexico Cities. Each colonia has its own taquerías, markets and morning rituals, and local businesses need the people who post each of them.
Neighborhoods over monuments
Visitors queue at the monuments. Chilangos eat in Narvarte, gather in Condesa and celebrate in Roma Norte. SIGNL creators post that second city, the one residents actually trust for where to go.
The taco debate is real
Which al pastor is worth the queue, which market stall makes the best quesadillas, which mezcalería pours honestly: Mexico City argues its food joyfully and endlessly. Creators with real opinions are the ones who move a dining room.
Capital to metro ring
From Coyoacán and Tlalpan to Ecatepec, Naucalpan, Tlalnepantla and Nezahualcóyotl, small rooms keep opening, and each one survives on neighborhood word of mouth. Founding creators get first pick of every new table.
How it works for Mexico City creators
Claim your founding spot
Sign up free with Mexico City as your market and finish your profile: your handles, your neighborhoods, what you post about. Founding creators are reviewed in sign-up order, and your tier is set automatically by your total audience.
Go be a customer
Show up, redeem the comp in the app, and experience the business for real. Bring a guest when the offer covers two.
Post within 48 hours
The Standard Visit: 1 post or reel plus 1 story that shares the post, with the goal of posting within 48 hours of the visit, and a week as the outside limit, honest and clearly disclosed as comped. The platform tracks the post, so the business gets proof and you get credit for the visit.
Taquerías, mercados and mezcalerías
Restaurant meals are the start: tacos al pastor in Narvarte, market lunches in Coyoacán, mezcalerías in Roma Norte, cafés in Condesa and long dinners in Polanco. Salons, barbershops, fitness studios, galleries and event spaces run comp offers too.
Students count here. If you are at UNAM or the Tecnológico de Monterrey, name your school when you sign up or finish your profile: your profile carries your campus, so businesses near your school can find you first. A Standard Visit fits between classes, and alcohol offers are 18+ only.
Where do you land?
Tiers are set automatically by your total audience across platforms, and they rise as you grow. A small, genuinely local audience beats a big, scattered one.
- Everyday people with a local following
- Comp visits, and paid bookings at your own rate
- Perfect first step into local posting
- Regular local posters, the roster's sweet spot
- Comp visits, and paid bookings at your own rate
- Priority access to new businesses
- Established local creators
- Comp visits, and paid bookings at your own rate
- First pick of grand openings and launches
SIGNL starts at 500 total followers across your platforms. Your tier is set by your follower count, and it moves up as you grow. What matters most is not the number, it's that your audience is actually local and actually engages. Nobody picks their own band.
Mexico City businesses: be the room locals post about
Chilangos choose the neighborhood taquería over the famous name, and they choose it because someone they follow ate there. Founding businesses get that someone: real local creators, comped at your cost, posting honestly to the followers who fill your tables.
Ads reach everyone except the people who live nearby. SIGNL puts Mexico City creators who live here inside your business, posting to neighbors who can walk in this week.
Join the founding business list
Apply in a few minutes. Your category spot in your trade area is held in application order, and nothing is charged today.
Founding pricing, held for you
$3,699 a month for Self-Service (up to 5 creator visits a month, about $740 per creator visit), $6,449 a month for Growth (up to 10 creator visits a month, about $645 per creator visit) or $12,999 a month for Managed (up to 20 creator visits a month), with a 3-month minimum and then month to month. Founding businesses get $1,750 off the first month, and all prices are plus IVA. Visits you don't use roll into the next month, then expire. The only other cost is the comp the business chooses to offer, provided at its cost, not retail. Founding businesses keep founding pricing while they remain subscribed, and the plan begins when the Mexico City market opens.
Activate when Mexico City opens
Pick creators from the founding roster, offer a comp at your cost, and get honest, tracked posts delivered in 48 hours* of each visit.
*Creators have up to one week to post. The goal is to post within 48 hours of the visit, and hitting it earns their Momentum. If a week passes with no post, the visit is replaced and does not count against your plan.
If a booked creator does not show up or does not post, that visit does not count against your monthly visits. It is replaced.
How content rights work: on a comp visit, you can share the creator's post natively with the creator credited, and nothing more: no downloads, no reposting the file, no ads. On a paid visit, you can also repost the content on your own channels and run it as an ad for 90 days under the standard license included in the booking. The creator always owns the content. Rights follow the visit, never the plan.
