Disclosure
Effective date: July 6, 2026
Affiliate & Advertising Disclosure
What's Good Local ("WGL") is a free local discovery platform. To keep it free, we participate in affiliate and advertising programs with local businesses and booking platforms. This means:
- Some links on our sites — including booking buttons and QR codes on our web pages, printed materials, and in-room television displays — are affiliate links. If you book or purchase through them, WGL may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. Prices are set by the merchant or booking platform and are the same whether or not you use our link.
- Some businesses featured on our platform are paying advertisers or partners (for example, businesses labeled "Platinum Partner," "Featured Partner," or "Affiliate Partner"). Paid placement may influence where and how prominently a business appears; it does not change our commitment to listing accurate information.
- We only feature businesses we believe offer genuine value to visitors. Reviews and ratings shown are sourced from public platforms (such as Google, Tripadvisor, Facebook, and Yelp) and belong to those platforms and their users.
This disclosure is made in accordance with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials.
