What guests here have been asking for
Guests ask us for things all season long. Most recent examples — real requests, names left out:
The Grid you’d be claiming a point on
The visitor economy here is growing, on the government’s own numbers (Collier County, area-wide):
Most categories on Marco Island still have no business signed up. When a guest asks for one of those, they hear “we couldn’t find anyone” — and the money walks. Every request gets written down, including the ones we couldn’t fill. That’s how we know what Marco Island is missing.
How a job reaches you
- A guest asks for something in your category.
- You get an email with what they need — dates, party size, budget. Not their phone number yet.
- Tap Accept. Now you get their number — and you’re the only business that ever does.
- Too slow or not interested? We remind you once, then offer the job to other local businesses. No hard feelings — and the guest’s number never went to anyone who didn’t take the job.
- We never sell one lead to five businesses.
- You pay nothing to receive a request.
- You only ever compete for a job before you take it — never after.
First Choice — one business per category
Each category here has one First Choice business. If that’s you, every matching request comes to you first — only you — for the first hour, before anyone else hears about it. One business per category. When it’s taken, it’s taken.
Right now, First Choice is still open in most categories on Marco Island.
What it costs, and what we ask
Cost: Joining is free. Receiving requests is free. Founding businesses on Marco Island pay nothing during the proving period. When that changes, founding businesses hear it from us first.
What we ask: Keep your info current — we stamp stale info and say so publicly. Answer offers fast — speed is how you win them.
Straight answers
- Is this another pay-per-lead site?
- No. We never charge for a lead and never send one lead to more than one business.
- Who are the guests?
- People staying on Marco Island who called or messaged Marco Island Guest Services.
- What do you do with my info?
- Guests see your business name only — never your phone or website. Every job comes through us, which is what makes the no-blast promise possible.
- What’s the catch?
- We’re building the record of what guests here ask for. Filled requests make you money; the record makes us useful. That’s the trade.
