More detail
  • Any email works, even one that isn't at your business's web address. Your personal address is fine. We send security notices there, so a shared inbox like info@ isn't a good choice.
  • If you sign in with an address that isn't at your business's web address (and isn't the one we invited), the claim form asks for a 6-digit code sent to an address at your website, or to the email we invited you on.
  • No email after a few minutes? Check spam, then ask for a new link. You can ask again after a minute.
  • New and existing members use the same page: if you don't have an account yet, the link creates one.

More detail

  • You agree to the Terms once. If they ever change, we email you first.

More detail
  • Your business name becomes your web address on Painted Circle and appears on your listing, in search and on every review. It can be changed later, but only a limited number of times.
  • One listing: one place, tour or service, even with several meeting points or places you operate in. Several listings under one brand: for example bike tours in several cities, each with its own page, managed from one sign-in.
  • Categories decide which tags you can pick later. You can change them any time from your dashboard.

More detail
  • Nothing is public yet. Your listing goes live when you launch it, after the required steps (pledge, listing text, photo, offer, places and categories).
  • Setup takes about 10 to 15 minutes for the questions about your business, and a few minutes for each other step. You can stop and come back any time.
