Tell Pride Town Connect about an LGBTQIA+ friendly business, organization or professional that may belong in our growing national discovery platform. You can refer someone you know — or submit your own business for consideration.
No directory can discover every welcoming business on its own. Community referrals help Pride Town Connect reach beyond what we already know — introducing us to businesses, professionals and services that can make our directory more useful, more representative and more connected to the communities we serve.
Pride Town Connect builds curated collections of LGBTQIA+ friendly businesses, services and resources. Community recommendations help us identify businesses that may strengthen the directory, serve our community well and benefit from meaningful visibility among people actively looking for welcoming businesses and services. Each submission is reviewed for eligibility, relevance, business fit and alignment with our platform standards before directory consideration.
A thoughtful recommendation can bring a welcoming business or service provider to our attention for eligibility review, research and directory consideration — creating the possibility of a mutually beneficial connection between the business, Pride Town Connect and the people we serve.
Our collections are shaped through review, relevance and community need. Referrals can help us identify eligible businesses that complement a category, city or community while also creating an opportunity for those businesses to reach people actively seeking welcoming places, professionals and services.
The strongest directory is one shaped by relevance, care and community knowledge. When the fit is right, Pride Town Connect becomes more useful for people searching by need, location and industry while giving participating businesses another path to visibility, connection and potential growth.
You do not need to represent the business to recommend it. And if you are the owner, manager or authorized representative, you are welcome to tell us about your own business directly.
Tell us what the business does, where it is located, who we may contact and why you believe it may align with Pride Town Connect's mission and community.
Business owners and representatives may submit their own information for review.
Share as much accurate business information as you have. If you do not know an optional field, leave it blank rather than guessing.
Eligible businesses may be considered for a complimentary Discover listing following review. Discover consideration is separate from paid advertising and is intended to expand useful LGBTQIA+ friendly business discovery while giving eligible businesses another opportunity to build visibility, connect with new audiences and support future growth.
A referral or self-submission does not guarantee publication, approval, a particular category or city placement, permanent inclusion, featured status, search ranking or any advertising benefit.
Businesses that want expanded visibility may separately explore Pride Town Connect's paid LGBTQIA+ advertising, featured placement and partnership options.
A community referral is simply an invitation for Pride Town Connect to take a closer look.
