Partner With Townsville's Independent Local Guide
Townsville Guide is in its mid-2026 growth phase — a personal, local-first guide to Townsville that's picking up serious momentum through the August dry season, with Cowboys vs Wests Tigers (Saturday, August 29) coming up as the next big home game-day weekend. If you run something worth telling people about, there's a spot for you here.
Audience & reach
Seen by thousands of searches every month for Townsville events, beaches, safety info and Cowboys game day.
Every guide written and kept current by a real Townsville local — not scraped or AI-generated content.
We're hand-picking a small number of Founding Partners during our early growth phase — this is the best time to lock in launch pricing.
Townsville's fastest-growing independent local guide — built by a local, for locals and visitors alike.

What a Founding Partner listing looks like
Same style as the restaurant cards on the Food & Drink page — a hero photo, a short write-up in Duncan's voice, and an "Ask the AI" button.
Your Business Name

Cowboys home games & V8 Supercars weekends
These are the two biggest traffic spikes on the site — locals and visitors specifically checking the Game Day guide and Events calendar to plan their day. If your venue benefits from that crowd — pubs, function rooms, transfers, accommodation — Peak Placement puts your business in front of them at exactly the moment they're deciding where to go.
