Nobody recommends like Miami.
Wynwood walls, Little Havana ventanitas, Brickell lunches that turn into dinners, fritangas in Sweetwater and gallery nights in the Design District: Miami eats, drinks and celebrates neighborhood by neighborhood, in Spanish as much as English. SIGNL is forming its Miami founding roster now, in both languages, for the local creators who post that city and the local businesses ready to comp them.
The post is the job.
What SIGNL is: a local creator marketing platform. Local businesses comp local creators a meal, service or experience, and creators post honestly about it: 1 post or reel plus 1 story that shares the post, inside a 48-hour standard.
Status in Miami: pre-launch, securing founding creators across Miami-Dade now. Creators join free and are reviewed in sign-up order. Businesses sign up when we are ready to launch: they join the founding list today and are charged nothing until the market opens.
Miami posts in Spanish: two of every three Miami-Dade residents speak Spanish at home (U.S. Census Bureau). The claim and profile setup run in Spanish, this page has a full Spanish edition, and a Miami profile can carry a Spanish-speaking audience percentage next to its local reach.
Two ways creators earn: comped visits, where the meal, service or experience is the pay, and paid bookings at the creator's own rate, from $50, where the creator keeps 97 percent.
How creators are ranked: by local reach, the share of their audience that lives in Miami-Dade, shown ahead of follower count on every profile.
Founding pricing for businesses: $199 a month for Self-Service, $349 for Growth and $699 for Managed, with $100 off the first month, a 3-month minimum, and the founding rate held while the plan stays active.
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, 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.
One city, every table
Two languages, one roster
Two of every three Miami-Dade residents speak Spanish at home (U.S. Census Bureau), and Miami posts in both languages every day. SIGNL profiles carry a Spanish-speaking audience percentage next to local reach, so a business can find the creator whose audience matches its block.
Every neighborhood is its own country
Little Havana, Little Haiti, Wynwood, Hialeah, Doral: each one eats, drinks and celebrates its own way, and a creator from across the county is a tourist there. The founding roster is built neighborhood by neighborhood.
The cafecito economy
Miami runs on ventanita windows, lunch counters and late dinners. Small, frequent, everyday visits are the culture here, and that is exactly what a comped Standard Visit is.
A season that never closes
Art Basel in December, Calle Ocho in March, Swim Week in the summer, the South Beach Wine & Food Festival in the winter: Miami hands local businesses a campaign moment in every month of the year.
Local reach beats follower count here
Miami follower counts mix neighbors, tourists and half of Latin America, and they cannot tell them apart. SIGNL can. Every creator here is ranked by local reach: the share of their audience that actually lives in Miami-Dade.
That is the headline number on every Miami profile, ahead of follower count, and Miami profiles carry a second number next to it: the Spanish-speaking share of the audience. A Little Havana creator with 5,000 followers, most of them in Miami and most of them Spanish-speaking, is worth more to a Calle Ocho restaurant than a 200,000-follower travel account whose audience lands at the airport twice a year. Businesses browsing the roster see both shares first, and they can filter the roster for Spanish-speaking creators.
It cuts both ways, and both lanes are open from the first breath: take a comped visit, a meal, service or experience for the standard post and story, or be booked at your own listed rate and keep 97 percent. Local reach is what gets you found for either one. New to the idea? Read what local reach is. ¿Prefieres español? La página de Miami en español cuenta la misma historia.
How it works for Miami creators
Claim your founding spot
Sign up free with Miami as your market and finish your profile: your handles, your neighborhoods, what you post about, and the Spanish-speaking share of your audience if you want it shown. 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, posted to a 48-hour standard with a week as the outside limit, honest and clearly disclosed as comped, in Spanish, in English, or in both. The platform tracks the post, so the business gets proof and you get credit for the visit.
Be first. It actually matters here.
First pick of everything
When businesses go live, founding creators see and claim offers first. The best tables, the grand openings, the spots everyone's about to talk about, the founding roster eats first.
The whole city comps you
Restaurants are just the start: salons, barbershops, med spas, fitness, boat days, attractions and local services run comp offers too. If it's local and it wants the neighborhood talking, it's on SIGNL.
Businesses pick you
Your roster profile works while you sleep. Businesses browse the roster and invite the creators they want, no pitching yourself, no DM begging, no chasing brands for collabs.
Founding status sticks
Founding creators keep priority standing as the roster grows. And at the Headliners tier, you're first in line for featured paid campaigns when businesses run them.
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 standard
48 hours is the standard: your post should be live within 48 hours of the visit, and on-time posts earn Momentum. A post inside a week still counts. Missing the week, or going silent, is what costs 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.
Cafecito to Calle Ocho
Restaurant meals are the start: Cuban lunch counters, ventanita cafecito runs, Venezuelan arepa spots, Peruvian ceviche rooms, Nicaraguan fritangas, Haitian griot in Little Haiti, chef-driven rooms in Wynwood and the Grove. Salons, barbershops, med spas, fitness studios, boat days and attractions run comp offers too.
Students count here. If you are at FIU, the University of Miami, Miami Dade College or Barry University, 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 21+ 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
Under 500 followers, or just starting out? Apply anyway. 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.
What happens next
We review in order
Founding applications are read in the order they arrive, by a human, not a bot. First in, first reviewed. That's the whole queue system.
You get your tier
Your follower count sets your tier, Neighbors, Locals or Headliners, and your founding status is yours from day one. It never expires.
You pick first
When businesses go live, the founding roster sees every comp offer before anyone else. The best tables and experiences go to the people who were here first.
Miami businesses: be the room locals post about
Miami picks tonight's spot from a feed, in Spanish as often as in English, and it picks the place a trusted local posted about yesterday. Founding businesses get that local: real Miami 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 Miami creators who live here inside your business, posting to neighbors who can walk in this week, in the language your neighborhood speaks.
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. Spanish-speaking owners can apply from the Spanish business page and be answered in Spanish.
Founding pricing, held for you
$199 a month for Self-Service (up to 5 creator visits a month, about $40 per creator visit), $349 a month for Growth (up to 10 creator visits a month, about $35 per creator visit) or $699 a month for Managed (up to 20 creator visits a month), with a 3-month minimum and then month to month. Founding businesses get $100 off the first month. 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 Miami market opens.
Activate when Miami opens
Pick creators from the founding roster, filter by local reach and Spanish-speaking audience, 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. 48 hours is the standard they are held to, 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.

Questions, answered straight
Is SIGNL live in Miami yet?
Not yet. The Miami market is pre-launch: founding sign-ups are open now in English and Spanish, the founding roster is forming, and founding businesses are joining the founding list. Businesses sign up when we are ready to launch, and founding creators see every offer first.
Can I join SIGNL in Spanish?
Yes. Miami is SIGNL's Spanish-first market: this page has a full Spanish edition, the claim and profile setup run in Spanish, and a business can apply from the Spanish business page and be answered in Spanish. The rest of the app is in English for now, and Spanish is expanding.
Does it cost anything to join SIGNL as a creator?
No. SIGNL is free for creators. Always. Businesses pay the platform. You never pay to join, to list, or to get booked. Your compensation on standard visits is the comp itself: the meal, service or experience the business provides.
What would I actually post about in Miami?
A cafecito at a Little Havana ventanita with your honest ruling, a Calle Ocho lunch, a Wynwood gallery night, a waterfront dinner in Coconut Grove, a fritanga run in Sweetwater. The Standard Visit is 1 post or reel plus 1 story that shares the post, posted to a 48-hour standard with a week as the outside limit, honest and clearly disclosed as comped.
What does local reach mean in Miami?
Local reach is the share of a creator's audience that lives in Miami-Dade, and it is the headline number on every profile here, ahead of follower count. Miami profiles carry a second number next to it: the Spanish-speaking share of the audience. Together they separate the Hialeah regular whose followers can walk in this week from the travel account whose audience visits twice a year.
My audience is mostly Spanish-speaking. Does that count for me or against me?
For you. In Miami it is an advantage businesses ask for by name: they can filter the founding roster for Spanish-speaking creators, and your profile shows your Spanish-speaking audience percentage next to your local reach. Post in Spanish, in English, or in both: what matters is that your audience lives here.
I am a student at FIU or the University of Miami. Can I join?
Yes. Name your school when you sign up or finish your profile and your profile carries your campus, so businesses near your school can find you first. Miami Dade College and Barry University students count too. The Standard Visit fits between classes, and alcohol offers are 21+ only.
How does a Miami business join, and when is it charged?
Apply for the founding business list and your category spot is held in application order. Nothing is charged today. Your plan begins when the Miami market opens, at founding pricing: $199 a month for Self-Service (up to 5 creator visits a month), $349 a month for Growth (up to 10 creator visits a month) or $699 a month for Managed (up to 20 creator visits a month), with a 3-month minimum and then month to month. Founding businesses get $100 off the first month. Visits you don't use roll into the next month, then expire.
Which parts of Miami does the roster cover?
All of Miami-Dade, neighborhood by neighborhood: Wynwood, Little Havana, Brickell, Coconut Grove, Coral Gables, Miami Beach and South Beach, the Design District, Little Haiti, Hialeah, Doral, Kendall, Aventura and beyond. If your followers live here, your audience counts as local here.
What kinds of businesses post offers in Miami?
Restaurants across the city's Latin kitchens first, then cafes and ventanitas, salons, barbershops, med spas, fitness studios, nightlife, boating and tour experiences, and local services. If Miami regulars eat it, wear it, book it or post it, the category belongs on the founding roster.

Virginia Beach (Hampton Roads)
The home market: one founding roster across ten Hampton Roads cities, from the Oceanfront to Ghent.
Nashville
Music City's founding roster, built neighborhood by neighborhood and ranked by local reach.
Denver
The anchor-vertical market: skate, trail and taproom creators across the Front Range.
Miami's founding roster is forming now
Creators join free and are reviewed in sign-up order, in English or Spanish. Businesses join the founding list at founding pricing, charged nothing until the market opens.
