For business · Advertising pilot
Reach travelers where they plan the trip.
Location-specific placements on XSCOPE Travel destination pages. Your hotel, tour, or restaurant — shown to travelers reading about the exact place you serve. Pilot program: New Orleans only, three founding slots.
The pilot
We are opening three sponsored placements on our New Orleans hub, the flagship destination on XSCOPE Travel. Founding advertisers lock a founding rate for as long as they stay subscribed, and help shape the advertising program as new cities come online.
New Orleans hub placement
A clearly labeled Sponsored card on the New Orleans destination page — your photo, your one-line pitch, and a direct link to your booking page.
Founding rate
$499/month, month to month. Cancel anytime. Founding advertisers keep this rate as long as their subscription stays active. It rises for later advertisers as readership grows.
Monthly proof
A short monthly report: your placement live on the page, page views for the period, and the clicks your card received. Real numbers, no vanity metrics.
How it works
- Apply — one email: your business, your location, where you would like to be seen.
- We build your card — you approve the photo, wording, and link before anything goes live.
- Go live, month to month — your placement appears on the New Orleans hub within days. Stay as long as it earns its keep.
The line we do not cross
XSCOPE’s value is unbiased signal — what we recommend is never for sale. Sponsored placements are always labeled Sponsored, visually separated from editorial content, and never influence our destination rankings, guide picks, or briefing signals. That separation is permanent.
An honest note on reach: XSCOPE Travel is early — our audience is growing, not yet large. Founding advertisers are buying position and a locked rate while we grow, not today’s impression volume. If you need guaranteed volume right now, this pilot is not for you yet.
